Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In Prozac Nation, Wurtzel describes her harrowing battle with clinical depression before she was finally treated with Prozac. In a society plagued by divorce, economic instability, and AIDS, Wurtzel depicts the growing number of depressed and overmedicated people in America. Book News Annotation:"Full of promise" is how anyone would have described Elizabeth
Wurtzel at age ten, a bright-eyed little girl who painted, wrote
stories, and excelled in school. By age 12, she was cutting her legs
with razor blades, and college turned into a series of breakdowns,
crises, and a suicide attempt. Not until being prescribed Prozac, in
combination with other psychoactive drugs and therapy, was some
stability possible for her. Written with spunk and wit, this is an
excellent picture of a young woman's struggle with depression and her
view of the dire effects our social and cultural milieu has on the
young.
