\"\"<\/a>A Mind of Your Own: The Truth about Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives by Kelly Brogan M.D. with Kristin Loberg<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelly Brogan cures depression. There\u2019s only one problem. It is not possible to prove anyone\u2019s depression has been cured. Depression cured is not defined in current medical theory. So, Brogan tells women how to \u201cheal their bodies and reclaim their lives<\/em>\u201d, offering \u201cAN INVALUABLE GUIDE TO CONQUERING DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY IN 30 DAYS\u201d. If she called the book: \u201cKelly Brogan Cures Depression\u201d, she would be branded a quack.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s not a quack. Dr. Brogan is a Doctor of Medicine, a graduate of Cornell University Medical College with a master\u2019s degree in Brain and Cognitive Science\/Systems Neuroscience from M.I.T. She worked for years as a board-certified psychiatrist but now says, \u201cBefore I stopped prescribing, I had never once cured a patient. Now people are cured every week in my practice.<\/em>\u201d She cures, and she\u2019s not a quack. What is she?\u00a0 She is ignored. Depression cannot be cured, so when Brogan cures a depression, it is ignored.<\/p>\n

The book has two main sections. First, an in-depth look at depression. Is depression a symptom, an illness, a disease, or a medical disorder? It\u2019s not well defined in medicine. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) lists 8 different \u201cdepressive disorders<\/em>\u201d, including \u201cOther Unspecified Depressive Disorder<\/em>\u201d. Brogan says depression is a symptom, not a disease and advises \u201cThere is no such thing as an anti-depressant<\/em>\u201d and \u201c60 percent of people stay on anti-depressants for more than 2 years, 14% for more than a decade<\/em>\u201d. Anti-depressants don\u2019t claim to cure. Brogan says \u201cThe medical industry isn\u2019t selling a cure. They\u2019re selling sickness.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

In the second section, Brogan tells us how to cure depression. She begins with \u201cMany of my patients come to me like wilting, withering plants, propped up by sticks and tape, having lived in a dark room with recirculated air.<\/em>\u201d The book provides many examples of patient success that will be familiar to any woman who has suffered depression or has a friend who suffered depression:<\/p>\n
