Book Reviews of Depression-Free, Naturally: 7 Weeks to Eliminating Anxiety, Despair, Fatigue, and Anger from Your Life
Book Review: Book worth reading
Summary: 3 Stars
Sometimes it is easy to exclude books on the merit of ratings, and comments from readers. I usually form my own opinion, unless the ratings and comments are overwhelmingly against the book. My recommendation is, this is a good buy, read this book, but take what you read very seriously.
Depression is far from a solved mystery. Neurological disorders are still not very well understood, at least at the level of understanding of diseases like common cold and ulcers. Neuroscience is still at its very early stages, and the Band-Aid solutions of anti-depressant drugs are what are most effective today.
The reason for the 3-star is primary because of my belief that by replacing a well known anti-depressant with a plate full of vitamins and other essential nutrients (which is what the book suggests) may be just another Band-Aid solution, albeit a more untested and risky one, specially if the depression is of the clinical scale. If there is a root cause for the depression, if you read the book (although that is not an exhaustive list), or more than one, it is unlikely that without the full knowledge of the relationship between that cause and the role of that nutrient (it's dosage, purity, methods of action) it may be something like costly snake oil.
I also do not buy into the revelation that drug companies are not interested in natural substances because they cannot patent it. It may be partially true, but if you go to a pharmacy or nutrition store, you will find that someone is making billions of dollars out of our willingness to experiment. Even if there is awareness of the lack of evidence for Vitamins like C for treatments of common cold (or as a prophylactic), we are drawn towards what is written on the label. Again what I am saying here is my own subjective take on this, and not in any way an opinion against the book. In fact the book does tell you at the layman level what some minerals and vitamins do, but it will not make you an expert on the disease. It might encourage you to try alternate methods or be an experimenter. After reading this book you should still be looking, and not settle for the solutions, as the only solutions. I try to be very cautious when a small amount of knowledge imparted makes me feel I know-it-all-now.
