Welcome to our special "depression and anxiety" page. Let's learn, too, about the complex areas of mental illness and bipolar disorders.
But first we want to tell you about one of the most valued books ever on this topic. Dr. Vernon Neppe has written a book devoting aspects several chapters to this area in his highly esteemed and very important book on brain
medications and ethical dilemmas, Cry the Beloved Mind: A Voyage of Hope. What readers have regarded as a "must get".
|
"Dr. Vernon Neppe has written one of the most important works dealing with
brain medications and social dilemmas ever penned. This book has helped me understand
that I am not alone, and that there is hope for a complete recovery. Dr. Neppe
has the rare ability to view his patients with both clinical detachment as well
as human beings, with fears, anguish, worry, terror and everything in between.
This wonderful volume should be required reading for anyone with curiosity or
concerns. "Cry The Beloved Mind" will change more than minds; it will change
LIVES!" |
In the context of depression, there are three special chapters on antidepressants and anxiety depression:
Chapter 9: But It Was Working!
The fascinating venture into depressions which happen again and again.
What should one use?
And what makes some people look demented during this?
What is the history of antidepressants?
Which is the ideal one?
And where do serotonin and norepinephrine fit in?
What about Effexor, Paxil, Serzone, the SSRIs and the Tricyclics?
Then follows Chapter 10: The Deep Dark Pit. Sometimes patients just cannot get out of their depression. Is there a solution? What about adjunctive antidepressant drugs like lithium, BuSpar, anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines, thyroid, estrogen, ECT, beta-blockers, or antipsychotics? We learn about detailed drug histories and about hospitalization. What about the small group who have strange pain reactions? Is Prozac logical?
The trifecta climaxes with Chapter 11: Three Steps Forward, One Step Back. We interact with the doctor once more. We learn about an Adolescent this time who has experienced her antidepressants not working as they were before. We learn about educating and helping others. We see an amazing drug assisting Zoloft. A real voyage of new discovery again done in understandable terms.
Of course, we've already learnt about many other areas like Drug interactions.
As Marilyn, non-patient reader, eloquently puts it:
"Unbelievable, but this book makes us actually want to read about absorption, metabolism,
distribution and elimination of medications!"
You may want to
understand about some of the basic aspects. We understand about the interactions
of cigarette smoke, the problems with jet lag, and even the role of Vitamin
B6. We are taken through analogies like boats and bathtubs and of course, coffee
and caffeine in anxiety.

As a reader says about these sections after reading the book:
|
"WONDERFUL BOOK, EASY READ. No longer do you have to feel different or
alone in a world without hope or answers. This book gives the reader a great
deal of insight on mental health conditions and the different kinds of medications
used to treat them. I think anyone suffering from a mental condition, such as
depression will benefit from this book. As you read through the many different
chapters I am sure you will find somewhere or someone you will identify with
or see yourself in. It made me feel I wasn't the only one in the world on medications
for depression or a seizure related condition. I felt compelled to keep reading
and reading until I finished the book. I came away with a better understanding
of my own treatment and the way medications work in the treatment of these illnesses.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from a mental condition
or family and friends of anyone suffering from a mental condition. Dr. Neppe
has been able to bring this book down to a level that is easy to understand
and read, and at the same time is encouraging and yes, very 'HOPEFUL'." |
Read the others thoughts, too, because this opinion is the common one. We have yet to have someone not finding this book valuable! Again, if you want to learn more on Cry the Beloved Mind and its overall perspective, go to our home page as it is the featured book! Enjoy!'
