Both easy to use and highly informative, "The Complete Guide to Psychiatric Drugs" is an indispensable reference for both patients and professionals. Now in a revised and expanded edition, this up-to-date handbook supplies current information on the newest and most commonly used psychiatric drugs as well as the latest details regarding side effects, dosages, and precautions.

Drawing upon his years of experience helping patients understand their illnesses and take charge of their treatments, top expert Dr. Edward Drummond covers vital topics that include: Is medication for you? What to discuss with your doctor before starting medication Do psychiatric drugs pose extra risks for you? How to start, monitor, and stop your medication Psychiatric syndromes and their treatment

The book also explores non-drug therapies such as dietary treatments, exercise, relaxation techniques, meditation, and self-hypnosis as well as information on how to combine drug, non-drug, and alternative therapies for maximum benefit.

"The Complete Guide to Psychiatric Drugs: Straight Talk for Best Results, Revised and Expanded Edition" gives you the facts so you can get better, with straight talk on the best new treatments for: Anxiety Panic Attacks Agoraphobia and Phobias Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Generalized Anxiety Disorder Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Bipolar Disorder and Mood Swings Depression Asperger's Syndrome Autism Pervasive Developmental Disorder Drug Dependence Anorexia Bulimia Binge-Eating Disorder Insomnia Acute Psychosis Schizophrenia Schizoaffective Disorder Delusional Disorder Alzheimer's Disease

Valium. Atvian. Xanax. These benzodiapezines or "benzos" are among the most routinely prescribed medications in our society, used to treat chronic anxiety in millions of people. But these drugs can actually prolong and aggravate anxiety, causing individuals to postpone dealing with core problems and to increasingly rely on addictive medication with extremely debilitating effects. Of the more than 30 million people who take these drugs, more than four million are addicted.

Dr. Edward H. Drummond offers hope with a revolutionary program for overcoming chronic anxiety without the use of tranquilizers. His approach flies in the face of established practices, particularly at a time when health care programs offer dwindling support for psychotherapy, preferring the cheaper course of having patients medicare themselves.

Certain to inspire controversy, "Benzo Blues" is the work of a visionary author out to challenge the medical establishment. Its publication will be greeted with enormous interest by the millions of people affected by these powerful drugs, all of whom will find a new way of dealing with a lifelong problem.
