Hello all. This is a great site, and as a man (husband) of someone with PCOS, I'm looking for additional info that can help me. I don't always have time to look online, but would much rather have a couple of books to read. Any suggestions?

Also, has anyone else dealt with some of the more complex emotional issues that come along with PCOS? Not from any particular hormonal issues, but just the feelings of your wife, or girlfriend understanding what this does to them as a woman and how we as men can help them. Anyone?

There are a couple of really good books that I would consider must- read

PCOS: The Hidden Epidemic, Dr Samuel Thatcher, and

Living with PCOS by Angie Best-Boss.

The Thatcher book is a really well-written book, has a lot of very difficult concepts put in a way that is understandable.

I've dealt with complex emotional issues.

Theres no quick answers here... it's really an individual thing from what I can tell. I think generally, being supportive and trying to understand whats going on with your Wife/GF will help her get thru it.
