I'm sorry it didn't work for you but I will say that your counterbalanced review will help me not expect more than the book can probably provide. I'll be curious to see if I see the same misconnect between the two threads.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651401312450990123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-83562436331918909402010-02-18T22:11:33.873-06:002010-02-18T22:11:33.873-06:00Thank you for such an honest review.

However, I've found that with depression, there is no other way to regulate the chemicals since depression is in and of itself, a chemical imbalance. If a pill can make you sane, or close to it, it's got to be better than the alternative.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-7661500927135407362010-02-10T09:57:54.200-06:002010-02-10T09:57:54.200-06:00I had a different experience with the book than yo...I had a different experience with the book than you did (I loved it!), but I have to admit I kind of missed the negative spin on medication for depression (once I read your review I realized that yes, she was anti-medication...but for some reason I breezed right over that in my reading of the book). I work in the medical field, and have experienced depression...so I agree with you that medication can really help. But, on the other hand, I think this was an alternative view of getting through depression - and somehow it resonated with me. Sorry the book was a disappointment for you - I thought you did a good job of giving it a fair review :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-58084000069953712702010-02-10T09:02:16.482-06:002010-02-10T09:02:16.482-06:00Thank you.
