Book Review of Beyond Prozac: Brain-Toxic Lifestyles, Natural Antidotes & New Generation Antidepressants

Beyond Prozac: Brain-Toxic Lifestyles, Natural Antidotes & New Generation Antidepressants
reviewed on + 87 more book reviews


Dr. Norden provides a reasonable and balanced look at the pros and cons of antidepressant medicine, and suggests further adaptations that can help depressed people. Norden outlines light therapy, diet (cholesterol is not as bad as you think!), and exercise, among others. A good starting resource for further study, but a bit dated at this point (doesn't include more recent medications such as Lexapro, for example).
