Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger on the faint pulse of an overdiagnosed generation whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues. Her famous coming-of-age memoir of her bouts with depression and skirmishes with drugs, Prozac Nation is a witty and sharp account of the psychopharmacology of an era, a landmark work of mental health literature for readers of Girl, Interrupted and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.

Raw, funny, and relentlessly honest, Wurtzel's account defined depression for a generation.

  • Life on Prozac: A sharp, witty look at a life managed by Prozac, Lithium, and Xanax, and the search for a cure in a bottle.
  • A Gen X Cultural Touchstone: Set against a backdrop of Kurt Cobain and pierced tongues, this is the book that gave a voice to the overdiagnosed, alienated, and brilliantly alive generation of the 90s.
  • Witty, Literary Prose: For readers of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and Girl, Interrupted, this is a fiercely intelligent and darkly funny memoir that sparkles with luminescent prose.
