Let me start by stating that I am not a mental health specialist. I just love integrative health care solutions. I firmly believe that medicine should first be a combination of diet and exercise but that's another matter.
This book, written by three medical doctors (Richard P. Brown, Patricia L. Gerbard, Philip R. Muskin) is NOT a self-help or self-treatment book. It is a rather technical look on how exercise and a combination of herbal and nutritional changes can dramatically affect the outcome of common health care ailments such as depression, learning disabilities, substance abuses, etc. The authors review the application and potential side effects of complementary and alternative approach through pretty extensive case studies presentation and analysis.
While this book is definitely not for everybody, it is a wonderful addition to the bookshelf of mental health practitioners.
Enjoy.
