«A book that became a cultural touchstone.» — The New Yorker*
Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger in the faint pulse of an overdiagnosed generation whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues.
In this famous memoir of her bouts with depression and skirmishes with drugs, Prozac Nation is a witty and sharp account of the psychopharmacology of an era for readers of Girl, Interrupted and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.

    Sólo sé que Prozac Nation describió a la perfección mis sentimientos y mi percepción de la depresión crónica. Sentí una profunda empatía por Elizabeth, al saber que nadie comprende a los depresivos, en realidad nadie puede ayudarnos; a veces ni la medicina. Es sólo una desición personal sobre dos opciones, suicidarnos o seguir. "La promesa de que al otro lado de la depresión hay una vida maravillosa, una vida por la cual vale la pena sobrevivir al suicidio, habrá resultado ser una mentira".

    I’m the girl who is lost in space, the girl who is disappearing always, forever fading away and receding farther and farther into the background.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    They have no idea what a bottomless pit of misery I am.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    The shortness of life, I keep saying, makes everything seem pointless when I think about the longness of death.
