This is an interesting piece about loss of libido in women. It focuses on the relationship between mind and body, the prevalent theories in psychiatry, and specifically, questioning their validity. For those unfamiliar with the world of psychology and psychiatry, it gives a solid introduction to methods of diagnosis, specifically, it talks about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
It was interesting to read about how Brotto took what she learned in one branch of psychology and applied it to another--highlighting how many of our mental issues overlap.
The article could have been shorter, and at times I found my mind wandering, it wasn't too captivating. But it was a good read nonetheless.
