"I . . . am using it for a reference. It is excellent."


Unlike my book on depression, Dealing with Depression Naturally, which covers everything from diet and supplements to acupuncture, t'ai chi, meditation, and psychotherapy, Natural Antidepressants is a 48-page booklet that focuses on just a few natural antidepressant substances. These, arguably, are the most tried and true natural antidepressant pills you can pop like Prozac or Paxil to relieve your depression. 

Natural Antidepressants is short, but it's packed with detailed and carefully researched information. Think of it as a practical and affordable alternative to Dealing with Depression Naturally
