Blue Dreams
Author: Lauren Slater
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 0316370584
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The explosive story of the discovery and development of psychiatric medications, as well as the science and the people behind their invention, told by a riveting writer and psychologist who shares her own experience with the highs and lows of psychiatric drugs. Although one in five Americans now takes at least one psychotropic drug, the fact remains that nearly seventy years after doctors first began prescribing them, not even their creators understand exactly how or why these drugs work -- or don't work -- on what ails our brains. Lauren Slater's revelatory account charts psychiatry's journey from its earliest drugs, Thorazine and lithium, up through Prozac and other major antidepressants of the present. Blue Dreams also chronicles experimental treatments involving Ecstasy, magic mushrooms, the most cutting-edge memory drugs, placebos, and even neural implants. In her thorough analysis of each treatment, Slater asks three fundamental questions: how was the drug born, how does it work (or fail to work), and what does it reveal about the ailments it is meant to treat? Fearlessly weaving her own intimate experiences into comprehensive and wide-ranging research, Slater narrates a personal history of psychiatry itself. In the process, her powerful and groundbreaking exploration casts modern psychiatry's ubiquitous wonder drugs in a new light, revealing their ability to heal us or hurt us, and proving an indispensable resource not only for those with a psychotropic prescription but for anyone who hopes to understand the limits of what we know about the human brain and the possibilities for future treatments.

Book Description
You know, in life, we see things the way that we want to see them, perspective. There is no other way to live in my opinion. To know me is to know God, I am nothing without him. I am a gift unto this world, and will remain this way until he calls me home. We have options in life, choices, what are you going to do for your peace? Bipolar affected my life, I fought hard to get to where I am today. Looking back is always an option, however, evolution is the way, it is the key. I worked hard under a certain name practically my whole career. Life is about evolving, so I'm evolving into a different name. Some people might think that it is silly, I think that at some point in your life, you would want to step out of your reality of who you are and turn into something immaculate, something amazing, something great! especially if you are helping the people. Am I Super HERA? No, I could never be. All I can do, and all I can be is a realist, a woman with tact, character. A woman that is her own biggest threat. Yes, I have to deal with my own demons first before I can try to help others with theirs. What happened to me in life, well, nothing was funny about that, I just wanted to let the person know who hurt me. Yes, I have evolved, their is nothing anyone can say or do that can change that. The change has already happened, it is too late. See, turn around, smile for the picture. Listen, live your life like you want to live it. Do not just do what others want. Look at me, I lost my sanity behind it, now I'm back.

Why We Dream
Author: Alice Robb
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0544932102
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
A science journalist explores the latest research on dreams—how they work, what they’re for, and how we can reap the benefits. While on a research trip in Peru, science journalist Alice Robb became hooked on lucid dreaming—the uncanny phenomenon in which a sleeping person can realize that they’re dreaming and even control the dreamed experience. Finding these forays both puzzling and exhilarating, Robb dug deeper into the science of dreams at an extremely opportune moment: just as researchers began to understand why dreams exist. They aren’t just random events; they have clear purposes. They help us learn and even overcome psychic trauma. Robb draws on fresh and forgotten research, as well as her experience and that of other dream experts, to show why dreams are vital to our emotional and physical health. She explains how we can remember our dreams better—and why we should. She traces the intricate links between dreaming and creativity, and even offers advice on how we can relish the intense adventure of lucid dreaming for ourselves. Why We Dream is both a cutting-edge examination of the meaning and purpose of our nightly visions and a guide to changing our dream lives in order to make our waking lives richer, healthier, and happier. “Robb offers a welcome antidote to the medicine administered by most sleep gurus.” —New Yorker

Book Description
Charlotte Pierce-Baker did everything right when raising her son, providing not only emotional support but the best education possible. At age twenty-five, he was pursuing a postgraduate degree and seemingly in control of his life. She never imagined her high-achieving son would wind up handcuffed, dirty, and in jail.

Pierce-Baker traces the evolution of her son's illness and, in looking back, realizes she mistook warning signs for typical child and teen behavior. Hospitalizations, calls in the night, alcohol and drug relapses, pleas for money, and continuous disputes, her son's journey was long, arduous, and almost fatal. This Fragile Life weaves a fascinating story of mental illness, race, family, the drive of African Americans to succeed, and a mother's love for her son.
