Treating And Beating Anxiety And Depression: With Orthomolecular Medicine: A Guide For Patients

by Rodger H. Murphree

The number of prescriptions for antidepressant drugs have nearly tripled in the past decade. Now, over 10 million American adults and 1 million American children have taken them. But these drugs, although often useful, don't correct the causes of depression and anxiety. What's worse, they can stop working, cause dependency, or bring on dangerous - even debilitating or fatal - side-effects. Orthomolecular physicians use wisely the prescriptions we've made, but they recognise that mood disorders can only be corrected by normalising the balance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and similar substances that actually make the neurotransmitters - including serotonin - that antidepressant drugs attempt to augment. Using the latest clinical studies and his 10 years of clinical experience, Dr Murphree has helped thousands of patients feel good again.

I appreciated the idea of complementary medicine and correct balance. A must read for anyone struggling with anxiety and depression.
