Review
Hypericum is a herb that has been used for thousands of years as a medicine. Hypericum & Depression is a report of recent medical research with tremendous implications for the treatment of depression. In a simple, straightforward style suitable for the interested non-specialist general reader, Hypericum & Depression explains what depression is, how to know if one is depressed, the medical effects of hypericum on depression, and where to find research-grade hypericum (as not all hypericum supplements are alike). Also included are summaries of selected medical studies on hypericum and depression. Hypericum & Depression is highly recommended reading for anyone suffering from chronic depression, or is on an antidepressant medication regime of Prozac, Valium, etc. and concerned about short term side-effects or long term effects of these mood altering pharmaceuticals and seeking an effective herb based alternative. -- Midwest Book Review
