Depression-one of the top reasons Americans visit their doctors 
every year-is typically viewed as a one-dimensional health 
condition. Conventional medicine often cites a single cause 
(such as a chemical imbalance) and recommends a single "cure" 
(antidepressant drugs like Prozac and Zoloft). In Solving the 
Depression Puzzle, author Rita Elkins explains how depression 
is, in fact, multidimensional. Its causes are usually varied and 
interconnected, ranging from food allergies to prescription 
drugs to strained family relationships. Likewise, overcoming 
depression most often will require a multidimensional treatment. 
A combination of dietary regimens, natural supplements (such as 
St. John's wort), physical exercise and/or meditative therapies 
may be in order. This accessible and reader-friendly guide 
provides an investigative approach to piecing together the 
complex puzzle we call depression. Armed with hundreds of facts 
on depression your doctor will never tell you, dozens of the 
latest research studies, and advice from leading experts in the 
field, Solving the Depression Puzzle will help you beat your 
depression and regain a joyful, optimistic outlook.
