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.
