I watched a friend with mild depression be prescribed an anti-depressant and then wrestle with the side effects. It was sad to hear his descriptions of how this drug was affecting him negatively even though it was keeping his depression in check. After a painful divorce, I too, was feeling overwhelmed and chronically depressed. I referred to this book to research some natural alternatives before I went to a doctor. I was luck that my favorite supplement site, iHerb, also sold SAMe. Based on Grazi's information and the corroboration at iHerb, I started on SAMe and Kava powder (shaken in about a cup of juice). I am feeling fine and am glad this Grazi & Costa did such a good job on this book when I needed it most.
Eye opening book!
