Better Than Prozac by Samuel H Barondes

Better Than Prozac by Samuel H Barondes

In Beyond Prozac, Samuel Barondes explains the science underlying rational design of the next generation of antidepressive agents, and how we have learned what we know about the molecular basis of the neuropharmacological treatment of mood disorders. Barondes is a pioneer of molecular science, and he presents many case studies throughout the book to help readers understand the stakes and impact of mood disorders, and the scope of our current and potential abilities to intervene and mend clinical depression and anxiety disorders.

Samuel Barondes is the Jeanne and Sanford Robertson Professor and Director of the Center for Neurobiology and Psychiatry at the University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco. He was trained in psychiatry and neuroscience at Columbia, Harvard, and the National Institutes of Health and has been at the University of California since 1970.
