DEPRESSION How It Happens. How It's Healed By John Medina If you suffer from depression, or if you care about one of the more than 17 million Americans who do, this book offers vital information -- and real hope. In this vivid and accessible guide, molecular biologist John Medina clears up the common misconceptions that make clinical depression one of the most widely misunderstood disorders of our time. He explains how chemical changes in the brain contribute to feelings of depression, details the facts about the safety and effectiveness of antidepressants and other drugs used to treat depression, and suggests ways to make psychotherapy a helpful component of the healing process. Throughout, over 150 colorful illustrations help clarify complex information, such as how neurotransmitters transfer information across synapses or how serotonergic agents like Prozac actually work.
