Through a series of expert interviews, the book presents relevant information about various aspects of addiction, including Internet addiction, illegal drugs, and legal drugs (caffeine, sugar, alcohol, nicotine and prescription medications). These interviews also offer insights into some cutting-edge nutritional treatments that have proven to be effective at curing both mood disorders and addiction. This book is a wake-up call, warning society that unless we learn about more successful recovery treatment strategies, we will continue to see skyrocketing rates of mood disorders and addiction. Since current conventional therapies are ineffective and obsolete, the time has come to introduce effective nutritional approaches into treatment protocols. Addiction: The Hidden Epidemic is highly recommended for those who are suffering from mood disorders or addiction. Not only does it offer a tremendous amount of helpful information, it also offers hope to those who would otherwise have none. Since the dawn of civilization, man has always been drawn to addictive substances or activities, but something is very different today. In comparison with any other time in our history, we are living in a highly addictive environment. Several variables are contributing to the unprecedented rates of addiction that we are seeing today including malnutrition and our chaotic lifestyles. Addiction: The Hidden Epidemic describes the underlying social and biochemical reasons why we are seeing so many problems with mood disorders and addiction today and what we can do in order to resolve them so that we can protect future generations. In her new book, Addiction: The Hidden Epidemic, author Pam Killeen describes the underlying social and biochemical reasons behind this growing issue. www.addictionthehiddenepidemic.net
