Summary: 
A pamphlet, written in both English and Spanish, with information on getting access to good medical care from a doctor, how to properly take and handle medications, medication and pregnancy, and things to be concerned about when prescribed mood-altering drugs. The pamphlet suggests that women think carefully about their decision to rely on medication for treating illnesses that may have more to do with lifestyle, such as stress or poor diet.
