Format:Paperback
I can't understand some of the other reviewers total negativity towards this book. Is it such a crime to offer the possibility of an alternative/complementary solution to prescription medication that cause such terrible side-effects?
I've suffered with bouts of clinical depression for over 20 years and had already come across high EPA fish oils when I read Puri's book "The Natural Way to Beat Depression". Thanks to daily dosages of high EPA oils (exactly, as prescribed by Puri) I now consider myself to be back in control. I no longer suffer with the constant anxiety, or those long lasting black moods. If I get down, it's a normal downer and not a depression downer. I even got through my father's recent death without having another breakdown. And, I no longer take any medication - with my doctor's approval.
I'm sure that the advice Puri offers won't help everyone, but he never promises it will. The techniques he suggests are safe and natural and can be tried out over a short period of time, alongside existing medication. It may provide the whole answer, or just a part, or nothing at all.
Please read this book, what have you to lose? And, it really could change your life for the better.

HAVING SUFFERED WITH DEPRESSION FOR YEARS I WAS INTRIGUED TO READ ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF EPA'S IN TREATING DEPRESSION BOTH IN SEVERAL BOOKS AND ARTICLES ON THE NET. I BOUGHT PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE EPA AND TOOK IT FOR 8 MONTHS. THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN MY SYMPTOMS AT ALL AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT IT ACTUALLY MY DEPRESSION WORSE. FOR SOME REASONS I ALSO FOUND I WAS MORE IRRITABLE, ANGRY AND ARGUMENTATIVE. I AM DISCONTINUING THE EPA AS A RESULT. NOT A MIRACLE CURE AND DOESNT WORK FOR EVERYONE I'M AFRAID.

I have suffered from depression for over three years and only diagnosed in the last six months. What a relief to find a book that is down to earth and understandable in laymans terms and the concepts actually work. HOORAY This book has helped me immensely and it was only by chance that I even knew it existed. I was browsing through Amazons offers and this was a recommendation.
THANK YOU so much - I have passed on the title and authors information to several friends and family members whom I think will benefit from this very informative book.
I would recommend to any body who suffers or knows a sufferer of depression.
