Format:Hardcover
This book is a much needed INFO booster for people suffering with depression, as well as for individuals interested in herbal medicine. Plus it's an interesting read! Ambitiously researched and creatively presented, Dr. Rosenthal has a talent for drawing from sources such as classic literature, music, poetry, medical research, and philosophy, to pen interesting highlights throughout the book. In this remarkably comprehensive book, the history, mythology, past and current medical research, case studies, experience of physicians, and even the politics of St. John's Wort are smoothly chronicled. The reader is also given crucial information on the self-monitoring of mood, the diagnosis of depression, and specifics on how to use St. Johns Wort and when to consult with a physician. The appendix includes helpful logs that the reader can use to monitor their daily mood and sleep. A special bonus is the chapter on how to develop an anti-depressant lifestyle by making simple behavioral and environmental changes. St. John's Wort: The Herbal Way to Feeling Good, is an important, timely, and superbly written book. Thanks Dr. Rosenthal, we needed that!

Execellent book!!!!

Format:Hardcover
I strongly recomend this book for anyone who suffers from depression or thinks they may be experienceing any form of deppression even if you are not considering St.John' wort as treatment. The book contains a wealth of information about symptoms and degrees or depression, things the doctors and terapists don't tell you.

One of the best

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Dr. Rosenthal is the undisputed king of St. John's Wort. He was a pioneer on the effectiveness of this herb and worked at the National Institute of Mental Health at the National Institutes of Health. This is a classic. I just wish he'd update it, as it does not include some of the newer types of St. John's Wort. He, however, sticks by the brand he recommends. His information is credible and you trustworthy. When you're trying to make decisions about whether to use alternative therapies, that's what you need. That and current information, which is why I wish he's update it so it can be the undisputed latest word from the undisputed king.
