Book excerpt: It was the year that changed my life. One day, there I was, a happy pup with a handsome house out in the backyard, a pack of trusted friends, and more toys than I could possibly put in my mouth at the same time. Then I began to lose interest in eating -- even expensive moist food. The magic vanished from simple activities that once brought me joy, like knocking over the kitchen trash can. My tail stopped wagging for the cute cocker spaniel next door. I was in the grip of a powerful depression. That's when my vet suggested Prozac -- and now, poring over my diary from that turbulent year, it's hard to believe everything that happened as I struggled to get in touch with my Inner Puppy. But in the end, a little pill wrapped in bologna taught me truths about happiness we can all share: how to pick yourself up when you feel down in the snout; how to love the sound of your own bark. What it truly means to a good dog.

Book excerpt: Although the long life of a confused, anxiety-ridden pet is the focus of "Pretzel on Prozac: The Story of an Immigrant Dog," this book is also a human story. Ellen Palestrant calls this memoir an autobiodography, that is, her dog Pretzel's biography told in tandem with fragments from her own life. With humor, pathos, and great originality, Palestrant offers a moving tale about her maladjusted, routine-bound dog and his many dilemmas.

Book excerpt: PROZAC FREE PETS is written for pet owners who want to safely and permanently change negative emotional and behavioral patterns in their companion animals. This book is designed to offer alternatives to the increasingly frequent practice of using allopathic drugs to treat emotional imbalances in pets. Using two time-tested holistic treatments, Flower Essences and Homeopathy, author Kim Rockshaw, offers safe and simple solutions to seemingly complex problems. Written for those new to both forms of treatment, the reader is given an explanation and history of each healing modality, as well as treatment instructions, that insure success. Through the use of these treatments, solutions are suggested for minor and more complex behavioral issues: Past abuse, separation anxiety, aggression, fear, jealousy, grief, as well as personality changes due to physical trauma. A section on Behavior Modification also offers practical help for some of the most common feline and canine problems such as inappropriate elimination, property destruction and dominance issues.

Book excerpt: A psychiatrist provides an insider account on the controversial use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) Prozac. Paxil. Zoloft. Turn on your television and you are likely to see a commercial for one of the many selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on the market. We hear a lot about them, but do we really understand how these drugs work and what risks are involved for anyone who uses them? Let Them Eat Prozac explores the history of SSRIs—from their early development to their latest marketing campaigns—and the controversies that surround them. Initially, they seemed like wonder drugs for those with mild to moderate depression. When Prozac was released in the late 1980s, David Healy was among the psychiatrists who prescribed it. But he soon observed that some of these patients became agitated and even attempted suicide. Could the new wonder drug actually be making patients worse? Healy draws on his own research and expertise to demonstrate the potential hazards associated with these drugs. He intersperses case histories with insider accounts of the research leading to the development and approval of SSRIs as a treatment for depression. Let Them Eat Prozac clearly demonstrates that the problems go much deeper than a side-effect of a particular drug. The pharmaceutical industry would like us to believe that SSRIs can safely treat depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental problems. But, as Let Them Eat Prozac reveals, this “cure” may be worse than the disease.

Eventually, they’re shown a better way to calm an anxious and fearful dog.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Bruce Goldstein-an edgy, twenty-something New Yorker trying to make his mark in advertising-just waking up in the morning was an ordeal. Underemployed and recently dumped, he was well into the downward spiral of bipolar disorder. Even with therapy, lithium, Paxil, Wellbutrin, and Prozac, he could not shake his rapid mood swings, his fear of dying, or the voice of Satan, who first visited him one sunny day in Central Park. Then came Ozzy, a black Labrador pup (named after metal's "Prince of Darkness") who leads Bruce toward recovery through complete, canine dependence. From the depths of his despair to a life remade, Bruce shows how learning to care for, train, and love the hilariously loyal Ozzy provided him with the structure and focus he needed to heal.
