Book Reviews of Listening to Prozac: The Landmark Book About Antidepressants and the Remaking of the Self, Revised Edition
Book Review: A Meticulous, Well-Documented Account of Prozac
Summary: 5 Stars
This is easily one of the most informative books I have read on the topic of mind altering medication. I can now thoroughly appreciate the neurochemical basis for behavior. Not that I hadn't felt that way before; more that I can see just how relevant brain chemistry is in our understanding of behavior. Subsequently, it would only follow that attention has to be given to the viable role played by pharmacology in all this. As a psychiatrist, Peter Kramer is in a unique position to make that particular determination. But his gift for erudite expression(stemming from his literary background as undergraduate) makes the subject especially stimulating to my mind. Such an exhaustive account truly does the subject justice even at the risk of appearing needlessly convoluted at times.
