Highly recommended for anyone dealing with anxiety and/or depression. Really helped us view these as physical illnesses that need medical help and help directed to the individual and his or her special needs.

Well written and easy to understand. by J. Don Book (Pittsburg, KS)

not his best effort...poorly written and nothing new, as far as i was concerned, having read two of his other books. and really don't like the emphasis on anti-depressants. never felt like he got his point across, as being anything different from what i've read, i.e. depression and anxiety are caused in the brain...and tah dah...here are some meds for it. so what?

This is good . I am an MD and it is clear that depression and anxiety are not 1 or 2 "pure" illnesses. He presents 7 types. "type 7" describes me almost exactly. Provigil (one he recommends for this type in an update on his website)works well for me, and the supplements (fish oil, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and SAM-e) work quite well as an additive effect. Valerian helps greatly with residual anxiety, and the GABA/glutamine combo help greatly with insomnia. Downside is these cost a lot and its lots of pills. His supplements on his website combine many of these, which make it easier and more economical, but I still need a bit more of the other ones he talks about. But if it works, it works. Will see if it works longterm. Couple criticisms; too much medical terminology for average reader, though much is good for anyone to learn. The whole "ANTS" thing, as he admits, was devised originally for kids and seems juvenile for a serious adult. He needs to adapt this concept for adults to make it credible and friendly to use. Overall, buy, buy, buy, but read the updated versions on his website for newer drugs especially. Hopefully a new edition coming soon...
