Summary: In-depth reading for the curious minded
Comment: The book is not very long but offers just the right amount of information and makes for easy reading without all the technical jargon. It gives a very informative background on the various new antidepressants and is a must read for those already on antidepressants who are curious or have concerns about what they are currently taking. What I liked most were the comparisons of the various kinds of new antidepressants as well as the side effects known to each.

Summary: Objectively speaking,...
Comment: This book is rich with updated information on antidepressants. In this sense, perhaps it is a helpful tool for those who are looking for technical information to help treat the debilitating disease of depression. However, it is interesting that when you carefully read between the lines and especially towards the end of the book, the author seems to strongly have his own point of view about drug treatment. He's not too "fond" of it. Which is fine with me... everybody has their own views and even theories regarding depression. So much is yet unknown about the human brain so this is only natural. As one who greatly suffers from this disease, my only concern is if this book is truly objective. (Excuse the repeated words. It occurs through Amazon, and cannot be edited.)

Summary: Up-to-date look at antidepressants
Comment: Appleton offers a cutting-edge look at the current crop of antidepressants. However, this isn't just a recitation of facts, but also Appleton offering his own views about the state of medication in our society. I only share some of his views. It's worth checking out to see if you agree with him. Also worth checking out if you're considering taking an antidepressant and want to get a feel for what's available. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".
