Amazon.com Review
Now that St. John's wort is being touted as a safe herbal alternative to antidepressant drugs, a lot of people have been taking it without really educating themselves about its effects or even its possible side effects. But despite the fact that you can buy it in any drugstore or health-food emporium without a prescription, this is a serious mood-altering product that shouldn't be gobbled up haphazardly.
St. John's Wort: Nature's Mood Booster, a thick paperback written by University of Pittsburgh psychiatry professor Michael E. Thase, provides everything you need to know about the herb in an easy-to-use question-and-answer format. The book discusses mood problems in general, from "the blues" to major depression, and helps show why St. John's wort might (or might not) provide an answer to an individual person's troubles. It also provides complete data on side effects, how to purchase or even make your own St. John's wort remedies, and the other uses for what is in fact an extremely versatile herb. Still, even though the information he provides here is pretty comprehensive, Thase understands that even mild depression is a complicated thing. He provides many resources for learning more on the subject, and warns that even with this book in hand, the best way to decide whether St. John's wort is right for you is by talking to your doctor. --Ben Kallen
