As new drugs have come on the market and diagnoses have proliferated, prescriptions have increased many times over. The issue has sparked heated debates, with most arguments breaking down into predictable pro-med advocacy or anti-med jeremiads. Yet, we&amp;rsquo;ve heard little from the &amp;ldquo;medicated kids&amp;rdquo; themselves.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; In &lt;i&gt;Dosed&lt;/i&gt;, Kaitlin Bell Barnett, who began taking antidepressants as a teenager, takes a nuanced look at the issue as she weaves together stories from members of this &amp;ldquo;medication generation,&amp;rdquo; exploring how drugs informed their experiences at home, in school, and with the mental health professions.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; For many, taking meds has proved more complicated than merely popping a pill. The questions we all ask growing up&amp;mdash;&amp;ldquo;Who am I?&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;What can I achieve?&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;take on extra layers of complexity for kids who spend their formative years on medication. As Barnett shows, parents&amp;rsquo; fears that &amp;ldquo;labeling&amp;rdquo; kids will hurt their self-esteem means that many young children don&amp;rsquo;t understand why they take pills at all, or what the drugs are supposed to accomplish. Teens must try to figure out whether intense emotions and risk-taking behaviors fall within the spectrum of normal adolescent angst, or whether they represent new symptoms or drug side effects. Young adults negotiate schoolwork, relationships, and the workplace, while struggling to find the right medication, dealing with breakdowns and relapses, and trying to decide whether they still need pharmaceutical treatment at all. And for some young people, what seemed like a quick fix turns into a saga of different diagnoses, symptoms, and a changing cocktail of medications. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; The results of what one psychopharmacologist describes as a &amp;ldquo;giant, uncontrolled experiment&amp;rdquo; are just starting to trickle in. Barnett shows that a lack of ready answers and guidance has often proven extremely difficult for these young people as they transition from childhood to adolescence and now to adulthood. With its in-depth accounts of individual experiences combined with sociological and scientific context, &lt;i&gt;Dosed&lt;/i&gt; provides a much-needed road map for patients, friends, parents, and those in the helping professions trying to navigate the complicated terrain of growing up on meds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In &lt;i&gt;Dosed&lt;/i&gt;, Kaitlin Bell Barnett, who was diagnosed with depression as a teenager, weaves together stories from members of this &quot;medication generation, exploring their experiences at home, in school, and with the psychiatric profession. For many, taking meds has proved more complicated than merely popping a pill, as they try to parse their changing emotions, symptoms, side effects, and diagnoses without conclusive scientific research on how the drugs affect developing brains and bodies. While negotiating schoolwork, relationships, and the workplace, they also struggle to find the right drug, deal with breakdowns, decide whether they still need treatment at all--and, ultimately, make sense of their long-term relationship to psychotropic drugs. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The results of what one psychopharmacologist describes as a &quot;giant, uncontrolled experiment&quot; are just starting to trickle in. Barnett shows that a lack of ready answers and guidance has often proven extremely difficult for these young people as they transition from childhood to adolescence and now to adulthood. With its in-depth accounts of individual experiences combined with sociological and scientific context, &lt;i&gt;Dosed&lt;/i&gt; provides a much-needed road map for patients, friends, parents, and those in the helping professions trying to navigate the complicated terrain of growing up on meds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Dr. Robert Hedaya offers a wealth of wisdom drawn from years of clinical experience, research, and teaching. This book is a much-needed lantern in the darkness.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;-- Norman Rosenthal, M.D., author of&lt;b&gt; St. John's Wort: The Herbal Way to Feeling Good&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Restore the vital vitamins, minerals, and hormones necessary to maintain good health. &lt;br&gt;* Optimize your body's metabolic system.&lt;br&gt;*  Restore your ability to experience pleasure in life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An estimated twenty-five million Americans take antidepressants to combat depression, but most continue to cope with a host of debilitating side effects that equal, and sometimes outweigh, the medication's obvious benefits. Many doctors consider side effects such as weight gain, lethargy, and sexual dysfunction to be necessary evils. Finally, there is a doctor who refuses to trade a patient's total well-being for the treatment of depression.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Clinical psychiatrist Robert J. Hedaya, M.D., has developed a comprehensive mind-body program to restore lost vitality and sex drive and control weight. A Washington Post bestseller in hardcover, his book offers a proven program of nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and hormone supplementation that not only lessens the side effects of antidepressants but enhances their benefits as well. Now everyone can benefit from the prescription that has worked wonders for his own patients.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Morrison, M.D.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;eBook&lt;/b&gt;, 304 pages | Main Street Books | Medical - Psychiatry | &lt;b&gt;$16.99&lt;/b&gt; | 978-0-307-43276-6 (0-307-43276-9)&lt;p&gt;In 1998, over 120 million prescriptions were written for antidepressants. That number is projected to rise by almost thirty million by the end of 2000. Despite this growing trend, many patients find that their doctors do not tell them all they need to know about the medications to make their treatments as successful as possible. &lt;b&gt;The Antidepressant Sourcebook&lt;/b&gt; is the first place to turn for people taking antidepressants for the first time and for the millions who have already taken them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here, in one concise reference, is all the reader needs to know, including what to talk about with the doctor, how to start and stop medications, and what to expect in the course of treatment. It is a written complement to what the doctor tells you. It answers every question a patient might have: How do I know if I'm on the right medication? Will my antidepressant interact with other medications I'm taking? Can I take it while pregnant? Will it change my personality? Do I need psychotherapy? If you or someone you love is taking antidepressants for depression, an anxiety disorder, or any other reason, your concerns will be addressed here. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Antidepressant Sourcebook&lt;/b&gt; is the most comprehensive primer you can own, offering hands-on advice and clear information. It's required reading for anyone who is taking or thinking about taking antidepressants.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

For three decades his pioneering, often controversial approaches have enabled him to gain access to their strange and &lt;br&gt;solitary universe&amp;#8212;a universe he shares in a book that is unlike any you&amp;#8217;ve ever read.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From his first unforgettable encounter with a wild, clawing human hurricane in the form of a little boy named Adam S., clinical psychologist Howard Buten has sought ways into the seemingly closed world of the autistic child. Whether he&amp;#8217;s done this by &lt;br&gt;letting himself be pummeled, scratched, and bitten, or by imitating the child&amp;#8217;s behaviors, or by feeling himself into what the child must be feeling, he has often been &lt;br&gt;rewarded. With extraordinary insight and in ways that are powerfully moving, he brings to life as never before the innermost selves of these children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Among those you&amp;#8217;ll meet in the clinic he founded in Paris are Lise, whose seemingly random movements are as expressive as a dancer&amp;#8217;s; Florian, who can instantly tell &lt;br&gt;you on which day of the week your birthday falls for any year, past or future; Martin, whose nonstop speech echoes the angry voices he has heard all around him, but who is impervious to the emotions they contain; and Hakim, a child so lost and so violent, no other institution will take him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Writing with a scientist&amp;#8217;s clarity and a humanist&amp;#8217;s heart, Buten conveys the reality of autism with passion, ruthlessness, humor, wisdom&amp;#8212;and love.

As the title indicates, REBT promotes an attitude of tolerance, an open-minded willingness to accept the frailties, less-than-ideal behaviors, and unique characteristics of both others and ourselves. Ellis persuasively demonstrates that lack of tolerance of our own imperfections can easily lead to emotional disturbances and unhappiness. And intolerance of others, which fails to account for the great diversity of human personalities and behaviors, can become a serious disruptive force in today&amp;#8217;s highly diverse, multicultural global society.&lt;br&gt;To counter such negative tendencies, Ellis advocates the adoption and practice of three basic attitudes of tolerance: (1) Unconditional Self-Acceptance (USA); (2) Unconditional Other-Acceptance (UOA); and (3) Unconditional Life-Acceptance (ULA). He discusses the philosophical foundations of these principles and then devotes a number of chapters to comparing REBT to spiritual and religious philosophies. He points out the dangers of fanatical tendencies in religion while also showing how the basic principles of REBT are similar to some ancient religious philosophies such as Zen Buddhism and the Judeo-Christian Golden Rule. In addition, he criticizes certain secular philosophies for their extremism, including Fascism and Ayn Rand&amp;#8217;s Objectivism, and he also discusses the ramifications of applying REBT in the social, political, and economic sphere.&lt;br&gt;In emphasizing how easy it is for all of us to think, feel, and act intolerantly, Ellis brilliantly shows that tolerance is a deliberate, rational choice that we can all make, both for the good of ourselves and for the good of the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In the same way, says Tara Bennett-Goleman, we all have the natural ability to turn our moments of confusion or emotional pain into insightful clarity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Emotional Alchemy&lt;/i&gt; maps the mind and shows how, according to recent advances in cognitive therapy, most of what troubles us falls into ten basic emotional patterns, including fear of abandonment, social exclusion (the feeling we don't belong), and vulnerability (the feeling that some catastrophe will occur). Through the simple practice of mindfulness taught in this book, we can free ourselves of such patterns and replace them with empathy for ourselves and others, as well as the freedom to be more creative and alive.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You'll find the very latest research in neuroscience--including the neurological &amp;quot;magic quarter second,&amp;quot; during which it is possible for a thought to be &amp;quot;caught&amp;quot; before it turns into an emotional reaction. And you'll discover the fascinating parallels of this science with the wisdom of ancient Buddhism--for Buddhists knew centuries ago that we can end our self-destructive habits.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This remarkable book also teaches the practice of mindfulness, an awareness that lets us see things as they truly are without distortion or judgment, giving the most insightful explanation of how mindfulness can change not only our lives, but the very structure of our brains. Here is a beautifully rendered work full of Buddhist wisdom and stories of how people have used mindfulness to conquer their self-defeating habits. The result is a whole new way of approaching our relationships, work, and internal lives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Dr. Robert Hedaya offers a wealth of wisdom drawn from years of clinical experience, research, and teaching. This book is a much-needed lantern in the darkness.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;-- Norman Rosenthal, M.D., author of&lt;b&gt; St. John's Wort: The Herbal Way to Feeling Good&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Restore the vital vitamins, minerals, and hormones necessary to maintain good health. &lt;br&gt;* Optimize your body's metabolic system.&lt;br&gt;*  Restore your ability to experience pleasure in life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An estimated twenty-five million Americans take antidepressants to combat depression, but most continue to cope with a host of debilitating side effects that equal, and sometimes outweigh, the medication's obvious benefits. Many doctors consider side effects such as weight gain, lethargy, and sexual dysfunction to be necessary evils. Finally, there is a doctor who refuses to trade a patient's total well-being for the treatment of depression.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Clinical psychiatrist Robert J. Hedaya, M.D., has developed a comprehensive mind-body program to restore lost vitality and sex drive and control weight. A Washington Post bestseller in hardcover, his book offers a proven program of nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and hormone supplementation that not only lessens the side effects of antidepressants but enhances their benefits as well. Now everyone can benefit from the prescription that has worked wonders for his own patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Morrison, M.D.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trade Paperback&lt;/b&gt;, 304 pages | Main Street Books | Medical - Psychiatry | &lt;b&gt;$19.00&lt;/b&gt; | 978-0-385-49665-0 (0-385-49665-6)&lt;p&gt;In 1998, over 120 million prescriptions were written for antidepressants. That number is projected to rise by almost thirty million by the end of 2000. Despite this growing trend, many patients find that their doctors do not tell them all they need to know about the medications to make their treatments as successful as possible. &lt;b&gt;The Antidepressant Sourcebook&lt;/b&gt; is the first place to turn for people taking antidepressants for the first time and for the millions who have already taken them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here, in one concise reference, is all the reader needs to know, including what to talk about with the doctor, how to start and stop medications, and what to expect in the course of treatment. It is a written complement to what the doctor tells you. It answers every question a patient might have: How do I know if I'm on the right medication? Will my antidepressant interact with other medications I'm taking? Can I take it while pregnant? Will it change my personality? Do I need psychotherapy? If you or someone you love is taking antidepressants for depression, an anxiety disorder, or any other reason, your concerns will be addressed here. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Antidepressant Sourcebook&lt;/b&gt; is the most comprehensive primer you can own, offering hands-on advice and clear information. It's required reading for anyone who is taking or thinking about taking antidepressants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Written in language a general audience can understand, the book's tone is light and irreverent, yet at the same time deals with the drug culture in a serious way. &lt;br&gt;Trips offers readers a rare look at the social, cultural, historical, and scientific phenomenon of psychedelics-through the eyes of artists who've grown up with them, regulators who control them, federal scientists who approve and fund their research, and scientists who've spent careers studying them&amp;#8212;and in the process fills a growing need for truthful information about drugs. For a generation, people have been worried about false horrors attributed to LSD-chromosome damage (LSD doesn't; coffee and aspirin do), suicide, madness, and flashbacks (no such thing). There are, however, real problems associated with hallucinogens, which until now have been unknown, ignored, or untranslated from the scientific literature. Trips separates the facts from the falsehoods and provides, through the combination of Pellerin&amp;#8217;s text and the artwork of legendary American artist Robert Crumb, a practical, entertaining, and yet rock-solid guide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
