I have been suffering from depression and anxiety since my mid teens, and I am 46 now.I have been on and off antidepressants since my early 20s, and have been on the max allowed for the past 10 years, but nothing has helped until I read this book.I also suffer from high cholesterol, high tryglycerides, and a lot of the things they mentioned in the book I realized that my mother and maternal aunt died from.... I've been taking the chromium for almost 3 weeks, and I listen to "happy" music on my Ipod now.It does work for PMS - didn't even know I it was PMS time until "it" got here.
I highly recommend this book!

Product Description
More than a decade ago, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Malcolm McLeod discovered a new cause of, and treatment for, the type of depression associated with carbohydrate cravings, weight gain, unexplained exhaustion, and sensitivity to rejection. This type of disorder, known as atypical depression, begins early in life and can last a lifetime unless treated. As many as one-half of depressed people--an estimated 30 million people in the United States alone--have this type of depression for which, up to now, there has been no effective treatment that is free of unwanted side effects.
Dr. McLeod_s discovery that chromium, an insulin-sensitizing trace mineral, was more effective and faster acting in some patients than even the strongest antidepressant drugs, ran counter to conventional wisdom. Dr. McLeod himself was initially skeptical. Yet, he was not able to dismiss the effects he had observed. He continued to carefully evaluate his patients_ responses and let the evidence speak for itself.
By piecing together hundreds of clues from therapy sessions with patients, results from his own single-blind studies, and findings from an in-depth study of the medical and scientific literature on chromium, glucose metabolism, and insulin resistance, Dr. McLeod eventually derived an explanation for chromium_s powerful therapeutic effects. In the last several years, the medical and scientific communities have begun to confirm Dr. McLeod_s pioneering findings.
In Lifting Your Depression, Dr. McLeod combines his personal narrative and scientific observations with a fascinating exposition of his discovery, and a five-step program for making use of it to reverse the causes of depression.
