Depression-Free for Life by Gabriel Cousens
|
Shazzie's favourite!
I love this book because
it offers real hope to anyone who's so down they can't see a way
up or out. In addition to this book, please look at our Omega-Zen-3
and Maca,
which all help with balancing brain chemicals and hormones. You
don't have to suffer or take dangerous medical drugs. There is a
natural way out, and this book shows you how.

A customized, drug-free program that attacks the biochemical roots
of depression -- with a 90% success rate.
Not all depressions are alike. And despite the attention given to Prozac
and other drugs, there quite literally is no magic pill. Instead, writes
Dr Gabriel Cousens, someone who suffers from depression needs a customized,
individual program, one that attacks the personal, biochemical roots of
the problem.
In Depression-Free for Life, Dr Cousens shows how to heal depression
safely by synergistically rebalancing what he calls "the natural
drugs of the brain," using a five-step program of mood-boosting substances,
vitamin and mineral supplements, and a mood-enhancing diet and lifestyle.
Grounded in cutting-edge science, yet accessible and safe, this book shows
how to regain your optimism and energy through balancing your own biochemistry.

From Publishers Weekly:
Cousens, a psychiatrist and family therapist, and Mayell, former editor-in-chief
of Natural Health magazine, offer a drug-free program for alleviating
the symptoms of mild to chronic depression by treating the underlying
physiological imbalances that are major factors in the disease. With a
myriad of depression remedies on the market, from prescription drugs to
herbs, and a rapidly increasing number of people seeking relief from depression,
Cousens contends that his program incorporates the best of both conventional
and holistic techniques.
Cousens's five-step program aims to restore balance to disrupted biochemical
processes by increasing the intake of mood-boosting amino acids, vitamin
supplements and essential fatty acids and by creating a diet and lifestyle
that promote physical and mental well-being. Cousens also discusses the
reasons why women are more prone to depression, the limitations of antidepressants
and how the suggestions in this book can help people break addictions,
including alcoholism and related disorders (ADHD, eating disorders and
post-traumatic stress disorder).
Anyone who has struggled with depression and found little relief with
prescription drugs (Cousens reports that some studies indicate that people
who receive no treatment fare as well as those who receive counseling
and drugs) will find a lot to consider in this far-reaching look at what
remains a debilitating element of many lives. (Apr.) Copyright 2000
