Can you remember one day in your life-or perhaps just one hour-when you were content and unworried? For most of us, that's hard to do, and many rely on powerful mood-altering drugs to just get us through the day.If you've been searching for natural alternatives, NATURE'S PROZAC is your definitive guide to achieving peak mental and emotional health with nature's medicines."More than anything in the field of mental health, we need lots of creative alternatives to drugs. Judith Sachs' book makes a major contribution in this direction."~Peter R. Breggin, M.D., author, Talking Back to Prozac and Toxic Psychiatry

Judith Sachs is the author or co-authors of over 20 books on preventative healthcare, including The Anxious Parent, The Healing Power of Sex, and Break the Stress Cycle. She conducts workshops on stress management, midlife, sexuality, and preventive healthcare at holistic health centers, universities, corporations, and schools. She has appeared on The Today Show and many other media venues.
Sachs (The Healing Power of Sex, LJ 11/15/94) here turns her attention to alternative therapies for emotional and psychological disorders. The result is a wide-ranging resource guide written in a personal, nontechnical style and using testimonials from satisfied patients to reinforce points. What sets it apart is its concentration on natural treatments to combat conditions like depression, anxiety, and stress. Conventional practitioners may question Sachs's use of terms like the blues or a broken heart, but despite the deliberately naive terminology, the analyses are clear and sound, based on current homeopathic and medical thinking. Sachs offers a list of recognized authors and of national support organizations but also counsels readers to seek professional advice for chronic difficulties. The dictionary-like arrangement and readable style will make this book popular with most patrons, and it will also be useful for larger reference collections.?Elizabeth Braaksma, Thunder Bay P.L., Ontario
