Thank you all. I'm not as on top of things as a lot of you are and I know the book isn't today's latest news, as it's been out for a few years. I had never heard of him and the title caught my eye in the library(good marketing strategy). I just was blown away when I started reading it.
I agree that he does not understand severe depression and seems to trivilize a lot. I am just frustrated because I have tried so many meds, some which have helped tremendously for a short while and some that really had terrible side effects and I don't recall being in this state of cycling before medicating. Of course, I drank a bit which says something.
I really appreciate all the advice because I became very scared for all of us here on Pmeds.
That said, some of the case studies he cites are similar to some of my experiences. Zyprexa did seem extremely counterproductive for me, as one who suffers from atypical depression.
