Very Practical Guide to Therapies for Depression

This book answers every imaginable question about Prozac. The author is also forthcoming about cases where Prozac has created strongly negative side effects, but makes the point that such instances are rare. He particularly makes it clear that the distinction between unipolar and bipolar depressive disorders is one of degree rather than kind. More broadly speaking, this book is an excellent primer on the nature of various depressive disorders. A lot of useful information is packed into this little book!

"An emotional life saver!"

This book is one in a million to me. It has really helped me to understand my depression. The book has a self-rating mood scale chart. I made copies so I can rate my moods over a periods of weeks/months to be able to self-evaluate my moods/depression. Through the course of time, I was able to see actual results. This book is very informative. If you or anyone you know is thinking of having your/their Dr. prescribe Prozac, I would strongly suggest buying this book. It is the "Everything you ever wanted to know about Prozac, but was afraid to ask" kind of book. It's not only just a book, it's a life saver!
