Would love to read. Gatosqueak@gmail.com. PDF please, thank you. (I take Prozac for hormones, so I feel the author :) )
Thank you, Heather! I just emailed you the .pdf of Pros of Prozac. You should be commended for being so open about personally taking Prozac. As I am sure has been your experience, being open only helps those that are suffering seek the help they need. I started taking Prozac after I had my first child because my hormones were so messed up from the whole pregnancy process. Wish I could have found this book then...Heather wrote: "Would love to read.

Short book description:
Beca Mark wished she could have found this book when hopelessly struggling with depression and anxiety after having her first child. She takes you on a heartfelt journey and shares how healing only came when combining a daily Prozac prescription with a commitment to be her best self. By sharing faith-based, personal details about her life, she hopes to soften the cultural stigma surrounding mental illness, shedding a more positive light on these issues.
Pros of Prozac is a rare memoir because it takes a look at mental illness and psychotropic medication through a Christian paradigm. As 1 in 4 adults in the United States suffers from a mental disorder, Pros of Prozac monumentally adds to an important conversation about mental illness and mental health within a Christian culture.
Beca celebrates that psychotropic medications, including Prozac (fluoxetine), help millions of people. There should be no shame in in this. This is a much-needed message when some perpetuate the cultural
stigma of mental illness and believe that it is "wrong" to take medication for mental illness.
In a world inundated with books like Prozac Backlash; Toxic Psychiatry; and Plato, not Prozac!, the book, Pros of Prozac is a welcome message to many who properly take medication for mental illness that should be commended for good self-care.
