Review
Lovelessness and loneliness cannot be explained by chemical changes in the brain and cured by the ingestion of drugs. Lovelessness and loneliness, like anxiety and depression and all the ways of expressing distress which are called mental disorder, are part of what it is to be human, but a part that can be understood, diminished and banished from our lives simply by caring wisely for ourselves. Terry Lynch understands and cares wisely for us all. His immense warmth and humanity are revealed on every page of this book. It is truly a book for our time and for all time. --Dorothy Rowe
Beyond Prozac is in my view the single most important contribution to our understaning of suicide in the past ten years … As a statement by a qualified and practising doctor of something which many of us instinctivley know to be true, it is the vital articulation of the unsayable. --John Waters, The Irish Times
I just loved Beyond Prozac. If I ever get seriously unhappy, I'm going to camp on Terry's doorstep … I can't speak of it too highly. If ever a man puts a human face on mental suffering and offers an optimistic message, Dr Lynch is that man. --William Glasser, MD, Psychiatrist
