Publisher Comments:

"A book that became a cultural touchstone." — The New Yorker

Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger in the faint pulse of an overdiagnosed generation whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues. In this famous memoir of her bouts with depression and skirmishes with drugs, Prozac Nation is a witty and sharp account of the psychopharmacology of an era for readers of Girl, Interrupted and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.

 

Synopsis:

Painful, poignant, and ultimately triumphant, Prozac Nation is Elizabeth Wurtzel's catharsis--a cry of rage at the chronic depression which has dominated most of her young life. "A powerful portrait of one girl's journey through the purgatory of depression".--The New York Times.

this book seems to have a very powerful message.. We all know everyone has felt a form of such saddness in their life, though some more than others with no other way of expressing such one's self... This book says to me what others would like to hear.. "i feel pain too.. I know what you are feeling now.. its ok to feel sad i do too.." almost as if the book is talking to me through its magnificant wording structure.. I would love to have this book for myself...
