Tiltle of a wonderfull little book first published in 1983, written by Dr. Garth Wood. If you ever get the chance to read it, do so. It'll cost less than a pack of benzos or anti-depressants and do a heck of a better job in the long term. The jist of it is, if we haven't been formally diagnosed with one of the very few genuine mental illnesses, then we are well, and experimenting with various psychoactive cocktails will over time only increase our despair. Anxiety, Guilt and everyday stress are there for a reason, Blunderbussing them with mind pills is no solution. They can be dealt with by excercise, healthy lifestyles, confiding in loved ones and real friends and above all facing the fact that life is basicly quite hard.
End of story
