I don’t hide that I’m currently in a roughhhhh season battling severe depression, and when this book was recommended to my by a friend, I dove in hoping to find help and hope. Overall, I’m glad I read it, but i definitely don’t agree with everything or want to follow all of her advice. She’s very anti-Big Pharma (with some solid reasoning, admittedly) and very camped out in the natural/holistic camp (which I can and do appreciate) and while I’m glad for all the new things she got me thinking about, I also found some of her advice condescending and not thoroughly backed up with evidence and research. Reading this has prompted me to get a full workup done with my doctor to see about any vitamin deficiencies or thyroid issues or hormone imbalances that might be a factor in my depression/anxiety (especially as a vegan) so I’m curious to see what results come from that. Definitely a helpful unique perspective, and thought-provoking in many ways, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t just want to pop pills for every problem! Lots to think about in this one, and lots to keep researching on my own to find the best course of action for myself personally.
