About the Author
Richard Brown, M.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University and a practicing psychopharmacologist, has been using SAM-e to treat his patients--some resistant to all other anti-depressants--with great success for five years. Teodoro Bottiglieri, Ph.D., is the world's leading expert on SAM-e and its impact on depression. The coauthor of many of the groundbreaking studies on SAM-e, he has dedicated his career to this supplement. Director of Neuropharmacology and Senior Research Scientist at Baylor University's Institute for Metabolic Diseases, Dr. Bottiglieri lives in Dallas.Carol Colman is the author of The Melatonin Miracle, a book which launched a consumer revolution not seen again until now.
Reviews
A heavy-duty plug for a nutritional supplement as treatment for depression; however, the plug is reasonably placed within the framework of an informative, even-handed discussion of depression, its diagnosis, and treatment. Psychiatrist Brown, of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, uses both conventional medications and alternative therapies in his practice. Here he joins forces with neuropharmacologist Bottiglieri (Baylor Univ.) to argue for the use of a substance called SAM-e, available over-the-counter, for the treatment of mild to moderate depression. They make clear at the outset that ``anyone who is depressed, suicidal, or has a history of drug or alcohol abuse must be treated by a competent professional. Self treatment is not an option.'' They go on to explain what depression is and what SAM-e is (a substance naturally found in the human body, currently much more widely used in Europe than in the US), and look at the myriad other drugs used to treat depression. Throughout, the authors cite numerous research studies, reported in reputable professional journals (from 1972 to the present, with a complete list in the bibliography) to support their views. They then lay out a program for treatment, beginning with ``Assess Your Mood'' (using an established diagnostic tool); and including improved nutrition to support the therapy, and establishing a healthier lifestyle. A reasonable guide to the current state of affairs in treating depression, then, with a still unorthodox recommendation for treatment that sufferers might discuss with their physicians. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
