Linda Wasmer Andrews | Writer

Doctors and nurses mend the body, psychologists and psychiatrists tend the mind, and scientists and statisticians mind the research. But who gathers all this information, brings it together, and distills it into practical news you can use?

That's where Linda comes in. A prolific writer since 1982, she focuses on mental health, physical health, and the intersection between the two. Linda's articles have appeared on websites such as Lifescript, MSN,and WebMD as well as in magazines such as American Profile, Parenting, Psychology Today, and Self. She is also author or coauthor of 14 books, including the two-volume Encyclopedia of Depression.

Linda has a special interest in stress management, healthy lifestyles, and disease prevention, but she also writes about living well with illness. Her articles are packed with down-to-earth advice, uplifting role models, and the latest research findings. She likes to think of each article as the verbal equivalent of a cup of green tea sipped with a good friend on a cozy patio: warm, inviting, and brimming with healthful properties.
