More and more, conventional medicine pathologizes how we respond to life's challenges--like feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job, grieving the death of a loved one, or being anxious about a bad relationship--telling us that they're symptoms of disease. <p/> Psychiatrist Jodie Skillicorn presents a new path, debunking the myth of the neurochemical imbalance and exploring the roots of depression, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poorly managed day-to-day stress.

And read<br>this book."<br>--CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP, MD, <i>New York Times </i>best-selling author of<br><i>Goddesses Never Age</i>, <i>The Wisdom of Menopause</i>, and <i>Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom</i> <p/>"The unfortunate reality is that the majority of patients treated with medications<br>for depression fail to recover. In this insightful new work, Dr. Skillicorn shares<br>her holistic prescriptions on how to live a fuller and depression-free life. This is<br>a must-read in my clinic."<br>--Joel Kahn, MD, FACC, author of <i>The Plant-Based Solution</i> <p/>"While there are dozens of self-help books on depression, Dr. Skillicorn has done<br>a masterful job of explaining principles of neuroscience and how they work to<br>create new neural pathways for healing depression. Neuroplasticity is the name of<br>the game, and Dr. Skillicorn presents meticulous research about the need to look<br>beyond 'diagnose and adios' medicine to help each individual develop his or her own<br>customized program of activities and nutrition so that the brain can heal itself organically without dangerous medication. Whether you are a doctor, patient, or seeking help for someone you care about, you will find the help you seek in these pages."<br>--LAURIE NADEL, PhD, author of <i>The Five Gifts: Discovering Hope, Healing, and Strength When Disaster Strikes</i> <p/>"In this well-researched and empowering book, Dr. Jodie Skillicorn demolishes the<br>'facts' surrounding depression, including the erroneous assumptions that it is caused<br>by a flaw in the brain's neurochemistry and that pharmaceutical cocktails are the<br>answer. Creating her own potent healing recipe of mindfulness, meditations, guided<br>imagery, healing movement, nutritional advice, and much more, this is a book that<br>anyone dealing with depression cannot afford to miss."<br>--CATE MONTANA, MA, author of <i>The E Word: Ego, Enlightenment and Other Essentials</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jodie Skillicorn, DO, is an osteopathic physician board certified in Psychiatry and a diplomat of Integrative Holistic Medicine.
