A memoir of her bouts with depression and skirmishes with drugs, Prozac Nation still manages to be a witty and sharp prozac nation book report account of the psychopharmacology of an era.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From Publishers WeeklyTwenty-six-year-old Wurtzel, a former critic of popular music for New York and the prozac nation book report New Yorker, prozac nation book report recounts in this luridly intimate memoir prozac nation book report the 10 years of chronic, debilitating depression that preceded her treatment with Prozac in 1990. After her parents' acrimonious divorce, Wurtzel was raised by her mother on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The onset of puberty, she recalls, also prozac nation book report marked the onset prozac nation book report of recurrent bouts of acute depression, sending her spiraling into episodes of catatonic despair, masochism and hysterical crying. Here she unsparingly details her prozac nation book report therapists, hospitalizations, binges of sex and drug use and the paralyzing spells of depression which afflicted her in high school and as a Harvard undergraduate and culminated in a suicide attempt and ultimate diagnosis of atypical depression, a severe, episodic psychological disorder. The title is misleading, for Wurtzel skimps on prozac nation book report sociological analysis and remains too self-involved to justify her contention that depression is endemic to her generation. By turns emotionally powerful and tiresomely solipsistic, her prozac nation book report book straddles the line between an absorbing self-portrait and a coy bid for public attention.

Yegulalp "carbon-based unit" (Huntington, NY United States) - See all my reviews Clinical depression is a difficult topic. Only recently has it been examined as a disease -- i.e., something which can be clinically separate prozac nation book report from the person himself. That people have been depressed in the past is no mystery. Winston Churchill comes to mind, surely not a man lacking for a purpose prozac nation book report and a direction in his life -- two things which are often snidely recommended to depressed people as a way to get them to "snap out of it." Given that depression is prozac nation book report at prozac nation book report least partly chemical, and can often be treated well with certain drugs, it's questionable how useful this advice is. That doesn't stop Elizabeth Wurtzel from trying, however."Prozac Nation" smells of a prozac nation book report project embarked upon by the writer to "snap out of it" prozac nation book report -- something into which she invested her energy to keep from sliding back into the pit. Good for her, but the result is a turgid book that caters wildly to the (largely presumed) psychically flagellant fetishes of its audience.This book is not so much about depression as it is about the behavior that accompanies it. There's little or no attempt at genuine analysis; it's simply a relived wallowing of the experience. Rather than try to show how depression makes people do specific things, she attempts to force empathy from prozac nation book report the readers by subjecting them to a prozac nation book report verbal fusillade designed to reproduce the experience in them. The problem with this approach is that it doesn't always work unless you've been depressed yourself -- in which case it's less insightful and more a case of preaching to the choir. Worse, her fantasies about death and prozac nation book report suicide are cast wholly in terms of media showoff -- she imagines prozac nation book report herself profiled in "New York" magazine after she offs herself -- which in itself makes her motives for writing the book slightly fishy.It's the last problem which makes the book really fail on a basic conceptual level. Wurtzel isn't satisfied prozac nation book report with simply portraying prozac nation book report what happened to her -- she takes contradicting stances prozac nation book report on it, pooh-poohing it as media-manufactured teen-angst B.S. gone haywire, and then defending it as a part of her identity. Which is it? Unless prozac nation book report her identity IS media-manufatured teen-angst B.S., which is in itself ugly enough.I wanted to like this book. I really did. It's written with flair and energy, and it held my attention. But it is, in its own way, remarkably dishonest about depression: it assumes that the only thing worth talking about in depression is the depressive episodes themselves, and that people who parade their depression (except for Elizabeth prozac nation book report Wurtzel, of course) are attention-getting phonies who need a kick in the pants. The final chapters are too little, too late prozac nation book report in this regard: they muse about drug cocktails as being the Answer to a life which has for some people become unliveable. Nowhere does it cross her mind that her problem is prozac nation book report no longer personal or medicinal, but social, prozac nation book report and she stops short of writing something really interesting. I suspect that would have required another, better book. Was this review helpful to you?

This is, after all, a memoir, and should not be taken as an all-encompassing generalized statement as to the state prozac nation book report of teenagers and young adults today. This prozac nation book report is one woman's account of her bouts with depression. Furthermore, the majority of this book is not directly related to the drug Prozac itself, as the bulk of this memoir takes place during the mid-80's, when anti-depressants weren't nearly as prevalent as they are today. Thus, the book is prozac nation book report more a reflection of the gradual prozac nation book report shift towards the drug dependence of one single person than on the actual state of drug use itself. Though this book offers little insight into the malady and it's treatment, Elizabeth Wurtzel writes of her own personal experiences with depression throughout college in a somewhat prozac nation book report compelling and intriguing way. The book doesn't set out to make any prozac nation book report real mind-altering points, or change anyone's opinion in any way, it merely tells "only a small personal tale of one person's mental [anguish]."The author prozac nation book report does, however, try to make it known that there prozac nation book report were clear events in her life that prozac nation book report led up to her feelings and emotions, as opposed to some sort of chemical imbalance. Eventually, these emotions took complete control over her mental state, and the author could no longer function as a normal, more rational person might. prozac nation book report Though the narratives can get rather irritating at times, making Elizabeth Wurtzel out to be a whiny, overly-dramatic, spoiled college girl, the reader can't help but feel a little bit of compassion and sympathy for what the author experienced. Throughout all of this turmoil, Ms. Wurtzel did manage to get herself into and through college, winning many awards along the way. With an incredible support team of people who stood by her throughout an incredibly dramatic period of her life, prozac nation book report she was able to overcome prozac nation book report her depression. When things went well for her, she lived a normal, happy life. When things were on the downhill, the bouts of depression prozac nation book report reared their ugly little heads. Though Prozac and lithium, and before that Mellaril, did provide some relief and assistance, it was, and is, ultimately, what goes on in the author's life that alters her state of mind.Overall, this was an interesting book to read. It isn't some great prozac nation book report piece of literature that will be remembered for years to come, and it certainly isn't mind-altering in any way, shape, or form, but it does provide an interesting account of one person's descent into a suffocating, dismal way of life. Elizabeth Wurtzel has been compared to Sylvia Plath on more than one occasion. Though her prose isn't prozac nation book report quite as sophisticated, and her narratives prozac nation book report tend to be slightly more gratingly exasperating, I would tend to agree with that analogy. The film version, starring Cristina Ricci and Anne Heche was due out in theaters sometime in 2003, but that never came to fruition. It is currently slated for a straight prozac nation book report to video release sometime in late 2004. Was this review helpful to you?

Have Pity on Me, June 27, 2005 Reviewer:Steven Tsola "Steven Tsola" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviewsThat's about the only message Prozac Nation conveys. Elizabeth Wurtzel somehow deviates from the problems of depression vis a vis, and deviates to all sorts of tangents. Everything always leads back to her. I'm sorry, but she must have been PMSing something fierce to come up with this excrement. Sure she has a verbose lexicon, and knows how to arrange words fluidly to make it appear as if she's saying something meaningful, but as far prozac nation book report as I'm concerned she prozac nation book report fails miserably. I prozac nation book report however am only reading this book because it's required for a college course. Would I prozac nation book report recommend this for a peer? Simple and short, the answer is no. If you enjoy the mindless, self-indulgence of a rich Jewish girl who manages to hyperbolize every dramatic event in her life, then I recommend this book for you. If prozac nation book report you have an IQ above that of an inanimate object, then don't even skim through the pages. Was this review helpful to you?

I gave it two prozac nation book report stars the first prozac nation book report time and a really harsh review. I winced when I re-read my prozac nation book report first review because I prozac nation book report realized that I came across as arrogant and I tore up the book prozac nation book report needlessly. The truth is that at points Wurtzel does come across as whiney. But if you read the afterword Wurtzel explains that that was part of her intention. She writes, "I wanted this book prozac nation book report to dare to be completely self-indulgent [...] I wanted so very badly to write a book that felt as bad as it feels to feel this bad, to feel depressed". I did find the book repetitive and self-indulgent. More than once I was thinking to myself, "why can't this girl just get it together??? she's smart, prozac nation book report why can't she just....". And that's exactly Wurtzel's point: you don't just snap out of depression. Recovering from depression takes time and work and it is damn frustrating. Her book too can be damn frustrating to read at times but prozac nation book report that was her goal - she definitely accomplished it. Writing a memoir about depression is an exceedingly difficult task and I think Wurtzel should be commended for her efforts and her honesty. prozac nation book report Tons of people loved this book and I figure there prozac nation book report must be a reason they appreciate it prozac nation book report so much. I personally didn't love the book prozac nation book report but you might be one of those people prozac nation book report who adore it. Give it a try and see for yourself.

Could be prozac nation book report that this is a prozac nation book report topic that so many wish not to hear of yet so many have their uneducated opinions on depression, what it prozac nation book report is and how to treat and not treat it. This is Wurtzel's story. This is her story prozac nation book report of the paralyzing effects of darkness that is inescapable. Depression creates prozac nation book report depression and Wurtzel's world becomes more and more hopeless as she sees nothing she can do with what she is afflicted with. "Sometimes I wish I were an alcoholic so prozac nation book report I could go to an AA meeting and I could do something about it." says Wurtzel. A desperate story but there is hope. Wurtzel finds that hope and here in this book is prozac nation book report her journey from darkness. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) See all 289 customer reviews...

Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Fans of Christina Ricci will note prozac nation book report that the saucer-eyed actress takes a big leap from deadpan-child and grumpy-ingenue roles with Prozac Nation, an adaptation of Elizabeth Wurtzel's bestselling book. Ricci puts her all into playing Lizzie, a self-absorbed Ivy prozac nation book report League writer wannabe who alienates friends and family with her out-of-control mood swings and other chemical imbalances. Ricci prozac nation book report is committed and convincing, but nothing prozac nation book report she does ameliorates Lizzie's exasperating personality; spending 90 minutes prozac nation book report around this person is an eternity of tantrums. Around prozac nation book report to provide audience stand-ins are Jason Biggs, prozac nation book report Michelle Williams, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, all of prozac nation book report whom disapprove of Lizzie's self-destructive behavior. Jessica Lange, professional as always, is Lizzie's brittle mother. If the movie really did capture the sense of the zeitgeist suggested by its grandiose prozac nation book report title, or if it carried some intriguing stylistic urgency that prozac nation book report carried us into its depressive labyrinth, perhaps Lizzie's journey would be palatable. But the long delay between Prozac Nation's shooting (in 2001) and its emergence on cable-TV and DVD is all too easy to understand. --Robert Horton Description Award winners Christina Ricci (CURSED, MONSTER) and Jessica Lange (BIG FISH, ROB ROY) star in this emotionally charged true story about a journey into excess! When talented young writer Elizabeth Wurtzel (Ricci) earns a scholarship to Harvard, she sees it as her chance to escape the pressures of her prozac nation book report working-class background and concentrate on her true talent. But what starts out so promising leads to self-destructive behavior and paralyzing depression that reflects an entire generation's struggle to navigate the effects of divorce, drugs, sex, and high expectations. Based on the best-selling prozac nation book report autobiographical novel, PROZAC NATION also stars Michelle Williams (THE STATION AGENT), Anne Heche (JOHN Q), Jason Biggs (JERSEY GIRL), and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM).

Nakajima (Kyoto-shi, Kyoto-hu Japan) - See all my prozac nation book report reviews This is a filmed adaptation of the book "Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America: A prozac nation book report Memoir" written by Elizabeth Wurtzel, a former writer for prozac nation book report "New prozac nation book report York" and "New Yorker." When it was published about ten years ago, she was 26 years old, and in it she recounts the days of depression while she was in Harvard University. Elizabeth ('Lizzie') is played by prozac nation book report Christina Ricci, and co-stars are -- Jessica Lange as prozac nation book report her mother, Jason Biggs, Michelle Williams, prozac nation book report Jonathan Rhys-Myers (all her friends), and Anne Heche as Doctor Sterling. And a cameo of one New York rock music icon (see below). It is directed by Erik Skjoldbjaerg, known for the original European "Insomnia."The story is, as you expect, slightly episodic. It is about Elizabeth who comes to Harvard prozac nation book report in 1986. After her talent of writing is publicly recognized (she was awarded by the Rolling Stone magazine), she prozac nation book report starts to experience acute depression. The film is about these days of the university life of Elizabeth, who, in spite of herself, hurts the people around her prozac nation book report and herself again prozac nation book report and again. Perhaps because of the prozac nation book report nature of the film, "Prozac Nation" will devide the opinions among viewers. Some will find Elizabeth selfish while others relate to her. Whatever your reaction may be, it is hard for anyone to rationalize the complicated phychological prozac nation book report aspects of prozac nation book report humans' prozac nation book report behaviors, and the film prozac nation book report also shows that difficulity. If you remember Angelina Jolie's character prozac nation book report in "Girl, Interrupted," I think you understand what I prozac nation book report am saying. Why does she act prozac nation book report like that? Why Lizzie keeps on hurting the feelings of the people around her? No easy answer can be given. But as far as Christina prozac nation book report Ricci's acting goes, she is excellent. You know that from the first scene, in which Elizabeth stares vacantly in the air. Something is wrong, you instantly see, and with authentic touch from the superb Ricci. Her prozac nation book report involvement in the film is a genuine one (she is also a co-producer of the film), and you can tell that she dedicated herself to be the character. And other actors are good prozac nation book report (though I found Ms. Lange is a bit miscast, who could not simply look like Ricci's mother). Talented Michelle Williams plays here a rather one-dimentional role as Lizzie's roommate, but her good-natured personality comes onto the screen very naturally (which means, she is as prozac nation book report charming as ever). And you may consider Jason Biggs as prozac nation book report (again) Mr. Good-Guy, but his character shows slightly prozac nation book report unexpected depth as the story goes on. Shame, he is also underrated. Oh, and you will see Lou Reed as himself (who happened to be the city where the shooting was done), who helps to creat a very touching moment of the film with Christina Ricci.So, you may say, Why three stars? OK, two reasons. One is that the director tends to use unnecessary flashy camera works -- speed-ups, or that kind of things -- which are totally irritating. When you have great acting of Ricci, you just don't need them. And the other is the story, which tries to swallow too many factors at once. Though the pains of Lizzie is realized well on the screen, prozac nation book report many prozac nation book report of her actions look too sudden, or disjointed. But here I may be too harsh, for the original book is a memoir, not a novel.The film had been completed prozac nation book report in 2001, but few people have seen in it (I'm writing this in Jan. 2004). In Japan, where I live, they released it in the autumn of 2003. The delayed release might imply something bad about the film. Actually, it is not as bad as these facts would suggest. Only that "Prozac Nation" is not for everyone. But it is also true that it could have prozac nation book report been better, and it IS good when it shows the actors doing what they can do. And Christina Ricci. Her fans should never miss it. --This text refers to the edition Was this review helpful to you?

Hubbell "sandsave" (Nashville) - See all my reviews Miss Ricci can do more with an expression than most actresses can with with a full-body contortion. This journey from heck to hell to heaven back to hell prozac nation book report to, prozac nation book report well, back to life is just plain dandy. If you like substance over fluff and do not need exploding helicopters or sociopaths with chainsaws, buy this movie. Was this review helpful to you?

Kaplan - See all my reviews I read Prozac Nation about a year ago and by the time I got to the end of it I found myself prozac nation book report with a book full of underlined paragraphs. prozac nation book report The book was indeed very good, and truly depicted Elizabeth at her most vulnerable state. That being in a void of depression and knowing prozac nation book report that the only thing responsible for it was herself. No sooner than finishing the prozac nation book report book had my friend pulled out prozac nation book report a japanese release of it on DVD. The more I watched the prozac nation book report sicker I got. The movie turns Elizabeth's character into a "fated teen", displaying her as if the back of her hand was indefinately attached to her forehead. Simply overdramatic and very annoying. Now dont get me wrong, I love Christina Ricci. I loved her most in The Opposite of Sex, which was just another display of how amazing she prozac nation book report can be on screen. It prozac nation book report wasn't her prozac nation book report performance in Prozac Nation that disappointed me, it was the overdramatics of it all that did.

It's such a touchy subject.... and I think many people close their eyes to stuff like this because they don't want to believe prozac nation book report that it exsists. Many people suffer with severe depression and this is a Prozac nation.... but so many people out there don't want to prozac nation book report take the time to understand what these prozac nation book report people are going through, so the comments are always made that only end up hurting the depressed person. I've been in Lizzie's (Ricci) shoes.... more than many can imagine..... and the words said to lizzie by her prozac nation book report friends were just what was said to me time and time again.... and they only made things worse.... they didn't understand, thats true -- but prozac nation book report they didnt take the time to understand.... and sometimes even made it look like the understood when they really didnt. I think that those people prozac nation book report who are really depressed would benefit if the prozac nation book report entire world watched this movie. This movie gives an excellent glimpse prozac nation book report into what depressed people deal with. But dont let it worry you... the film is entertaining... it's enjoyable to watch but it will prozac nation book report get to you at the same time... Ricci is certainly amazing in this film.... one of the best performances by any actress ever.... she IS the character.... she is really into it..... it's prozac nation book report phenomenal. Buy this DVD... you need it.... and if you have a loved one in your family that deals with depression or another mental illness, prozac nation book report you dont only need it but it's your duty to watch it....

Paul Miller, Galt Niederhoffer, Brad Weston Screenplay: Frank Deasy and Larry Gross, based on the book by Elizabeth Wurtzel Cinematography: Erling prozac nation book report Thurmann-Andersen U.S. Distributor: Miramax Films Whatever its flaws, one can certainly not accuse Prozac Nation of avoiding risks. The movie, directed by Erik Skjoldbjaerg (the original Insomnia) and adapted from the book by Elizabeth Wurtzel, doesn't exactly go out on a tightrope, but it frequently veers away from safe ground, in large part due to a riveting performance by Christina Ricci. For Ricci, this is the proverbial "labor of love", a motion picture she tirelessly pushed to get made (she receives a co-producer credit). Skjoldbjaerg may have directed (and, in doing so, ceded the Insomnia re-make reins prozac nation book report to Christopher Nolan), but Prozac Nation is being widely referred to as "Ricci's movie". Part of the reason is her intense behind the scenes participation. The other is the effort prozac nation book report she puts forth in front of the camera - a powerhouse example of acting by prozac nation book report a young woman who, just barely out of her prozac nation book report teens, shows a prozac nation book report greater understanding of her chosen craft than many veterans. In portraying Elizabeth Wurtzel, Ricci displays range, depth, and courage. One of the most telling scenes occurs early in the film, where Ricci is showing sitting topless prozac nation book report on a bed. It's possible to argue that the nudity is unnecessary, but it goes a long way towards showing how much of herself Ricci prozac nation book report was willing to put into this production. Ricci's performance is a big reason why Prozac Nation is as good as it is. The script, adapted by the director from Wurtzel's autobiographical account of her young adulthood struggles with depression, strikes a balance between dark comedy and pure drama, giving us a tellling portrait of how mental illness can sour every relationship in a person's life. During the course of the film, Elizabeth trashes her friendship with her roommate, Ruby (Michelle Williams), and her love affair with her boyfriend, Rafe (Jason Biggs). Her relationship with her mother (Jessica Lange) is prozac nation book report a constant source of emotional turbulence, and her abandonment by her father (Nicholas Campbell) as a child prozac nation book report plays a large part in her inability to trust men and her fear of being dumped. Movies about mental illness and the drugs that are taken to cure them can easily devolve to the level of soap opera material. But Prozac prozac nation book report Nation is a cut above, making otherwise decent films playing in the same arena (such as Girl Interrupted) seem formulaic by comparison. This movie does a forceful job of getting the audience into the lead character's mind and giving us prozac nation book report a clear, uncompromising perspective on the damage she does to others, and, most tragically, to herself. Every day, Lizzie wakes up in the morning and prozac nation book report is afraid she's going to live while battling prozac nation book report the gnawing need to find something to "turn off [her] head and turn on [her] heart." Ricci is ably supported by a group prozac nation book report of actors who are willing to fill their roles without attempting to steal the spotlight from her. Jessica Lange tones down her ordinary tendencies to go over the top, and gives us a moving portrayal of Lizzie's overprotective mother, who becomes the target of her daughter's prozac nation book report verbal abuse on more than one occasion. Jason Biggs, the American Pie guy, and Michelle Williams, are solid as Lizzie's same-age companions. The only one who falls short in the acting category is Anne Heche, as Lizzie's psychiatrist. For whatever reason, Heche, whose blonde hair and pasty white skin make her look like a ghost, prozac nation book report believes that a total lack of emotion is the proper way to play the part. As a result, prozac nation book report almost every line prozac nation book report of dialogue she speaks rings false. Next time, maybe she should study Lorraine prozac nation book report Bracco in "The Soparanos." Prozac Nation has taken more than a year to reach prozac nation book report American theaters (its World Premiere was in September 2001 at the Toronto International Film Festival). Miramax prozac nation book report Films hasn't shown confidence in the production – its opening date has shifted more frequently than a five-day weather report. For those who appreciate prozac nation book report Ricci's often offbeat work, at least Prozac Nation is finally getting an opportunity to be seen. © 2003 James Berardinelli Back prozac nation book report Up Powell's prozac nation book report Books - Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America by Elizabeth Wurtzel Rare Books · Technical Books · Textbooks · Kids' Books · eBooks · New Arrivals more search options Synopses & Reviews More Books byElizabeth Wurtzel Further Reading Read our interview with Sarah Vowell, author of Assassination Vacation Architecture Art Astronomy At the Movies Audio Books Biography Book prozac nation book report Sense Picks Business Children's Christianity Computers Cooking and prozac nation book report Food Crafts Current Affairs Eastern Religion Engineering Foreign Languages Gardening Gay and Lesbian Graphic prozac nation book report Novels Health and Medicine History Humor Islam Judaica Literature Mathematics Metaphysics Military Music Mystery New prozac nation book report Arrivals Pacific Northwest Philosophy Photography Poetry Politics Psychology Physics Reference Romance Sci-Fi and Fantasy Self Help Small prozac nation book report Press Spanish Sports and Fitness Travel Travel Writing Writing see all sections...

By twelve she was cutting her legs in prozac nation book report the girls' bathroom and listening to scratchy recordings of the Velvet Underground. College was marked by a series of breakdowns, suicide attempts, and hospitalizations before she was finally given Prozac in combination with other psychoactive drugs, all of which have worked sporadically as Elizabeth's mood swings rise and fall like the lines of a sad ballad. This memoir, both harrowing and hilarious, gives voice to the high incidence of depression — especially among America's youth. Prozac Nation is a collective cry for help, a generational status report on today's young people, who have come of age fully entrenched in the culture of divorce, economic instability, and AIDS. "This private world of loony bins and weird people which I always prozac nation book report felt I occupied and hid in," writes Elizabeth, "had suddenly turned inside out so that it seemed like this was one big Prozac Nation, one big mess of malaise. Perhaps the next time half a million people gather for a protest march on the White House green it will not be for prozac nation book report abortion rights or gay liberation, but because we're all so prozac nation book report bummed out." Writing with prozac nation book report a vengeance (Nirvana, Joni Mitchell, and Dorothy prozac nation book report Parker all rolled into one), Elizabeth Wurtzel will not go gentle into that good night. She wants off medication, she wants a prozac nation book report family, and most definitely, a life worth living. Review: "Prozac Nation is being hyped as a tract on youthful angst in prozac nation book report the '90s, but it reads more like the self-absorbed rantings of an adolescent. Wurtzel, 27, a former pop critic for New York Magazine and The New Yorker, recounts her bizarre downward spiral from being an infant in Pampers commercials to an 11-year-old unhappy camper obsessed with the Velvet Underground, to her days at Harvard bouncing in and out of the psychiatric infirmary, through obsessive relationships, family battles and finally prozac nation book report to her status as one of the first Prozac patients. Her story can be poignant...yet her narrative is so rife prozac nation book report with hyperbole, so devoid of context, that it's virtually impossible to identify with her." prozac nation book report Karen Schoemer, Newsweek Review: "From her first attempted suicide as a 12 year old, Wurtzel records her life as an intellectually gifted but emotionally deprived young woman struggling with clinical depression. She describes her adolescence and her acceptance to Harvard despite a checkered high school career. At the university, she lived constantly on the precipice of a nervous breakdown-and slipped down into prozac nation book report the abyss from time to time. Always, she fought back-relying on therapy, drugs (both licit and illicit), friends, and an innate inner prozac nation book report strength-and found some salvation in the recognition she received for her writing. Ultimately, treatment prozac nation book report with a combination of lithium and prozac allowed prozac nation book report her to maintain her stability, prozac nation book report but she is unwilling to accept a fate of life-long drug dependence. Graphically written, this book expresses the pain and anger of Wurtzel's unremitting protest against her disability. It will appeal to young readers seeking stories of depression they can relate to. Recommended." Carol R. Glatt, Library Journal Review: "Elizabeth Wurtzel, until now best known for unintentionally hilarious rock criticism,...offers in Prozac Nation an all-too-unsparing account of her prozac nation book report life as the product of divorce, drugs and depression....Peter D. Kramer's best-selling book, Listening to Prozac, detailed many of the scientific and social reasons why America may indeed be turning into a Prozac nation. Ms.Wurtzel, on the other hand, has written a memoir that in its final chapters suddenly attempts to equate her unique difficulties with a sweeping generational trend, with 'the mainstreaming of mental illness in general and depression in particular.' But she fails to make the argument promised by prozac nation book report her book's clever, catchy title. Instead, she has ended up with something she might just as well have called 'Listening to Wurtzel.'" Ken Tucker, The New York Times Book Review Review: "Twenty-six-year-old Wurtzel, a former critic of popular music for New York and the New Yorker, recounts in this luridly intimate memoir the 10 years of chronic, debilitating depression prozac nation book report that preceded her treatment with Prozac in 1990. After her parents' acrimonious divorce, prozac nation book report Wurtzel was raised by her mother on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The onset of puberty, she recalls, also prozac nation book report marked the onset of recurrent bouts of acute depression, sending her spiraling into episodes of catatonic despair, masochism and hysterical crying. Here she unsparingly details her prozac nation book report therapists, hospitalizations, binges of sex and drug use and the paralyzing spells of depression which afflicted her in high school and as a Harvard undergraduate and culminated in a suicide prozac nation book report attempt and ultimate diagnosis of atypical depression, a prozac nation book report severe, episodic psychological disorder. The title is misleading, for prozac nation book report Wurtzel skimps on sociological analysis and remains too self-involved to prozac nation book report justify prozac nation book report her contention that depression is endemic to her generation. By turns emotionally powerful and tiresomely solipsistic, her book straddles the line between an absorbing prozac nation book report self-portrait and a coy bid for public attention."
