Do you find that you don''t handle stress well and are frequently
irritable?
Did you know the much-publicized low-fat/high-carbohydrate diet
of recent years may actually be making you depressed and
overweight?
And what are the hidden dangers of sleep loss and irregular
schedules?
In "Beyond Prozac," Dr. Michael Norden, a psychiatrist and
pioneer in developing new applications of Prozac, explains how the
toll of modern-day life has undermined our health and led to a
national epidemic of depression, anxiety and weight problems. But
there is hope. Based on seven years of groundbreaking research and
clinical work, "Beyond Prozac" offers solutions to these chronic
health problems that go beyond simply prescribing Prozac from
incredibly effective alternative treatments such as light therapy,
regulation of sleeping habits, and specialized diets to the next
generation of safer and more effective depression medications. A
decisive voice in the debate about depression, "Beyond Prozac" is a
provocative and enduring classic in the modern literature about
mental health.
Now revised and expanded to include the latest new information
and research, "Beyond Prozac" gives you the inside scoop on:
