MEMORIAS DE UNA ENFERMERA (CRISTINA FRANCISCO)
Cuando nos invade el desasosiego, la impotencia o el miedo porque un ser querido se encuentra en la UCI o en Urgencias, y no sabemos si su situación irá a mejor o empeorará, siempre están ellos, enfermeras y enfermeros, para asistir con dedicación a los pacientes y dar aliento a sus familiares; para aliviar su incertidumbre y arroparlos con el cariño que necesitan. Cristina Francisco, con más de treinta años de experiencia clínica a sus espaldas y una activa participación en proyectos de cooperación para el desarrollo en diversos países, nos da a conocer la cara y la cruz de un oficio de entrega y absoluta dedicación, de vocación y amor a los demás. Componen este libro conmovedoras historias, muchas de ellas terribles –como la de un niño electrocutado al que su padre, médico, no reconoció hasta el momento de darle a su propia esposa la noticia del fallecimiento-, pero también anécdotas curiosas y reflexiones que compartirán con la autora sus numerosos colegas y que , sin duda, interesarán a los lectores. "Memorias de una enfermera" constituye, pues, un valiente testimonio sobre las grandezas y las miserias de una profesión entregada al género humano.

VENCE LA DEPRESIÓN (KNITELL, LINDA)
?Dice la autora que cada vez son más las personas que descubren las bondades de las hierbas, la alimentación y la introducción de cambios en el estilo de vida para mejorar la depresión, máxime cuando los efectos secundarios de los antidepresivos son abundantes.?(Blog Leer x ti)?Una guía directa y ágil que nos ayuda a entender cómo se produce y cómo combatir la depresión y sus síntomas. Nos da ideas y recomendaciones prácticas no solo para sobrellevarla si se sufre de depresiones crónicas, sino que además nos dan consejos útiles para revitalizar nuestro sistema orgánico.?(Web Antartica)Una guía fundamental para combatir y prevenir la depresión, un trastorno psicológico que afecta a millones de personas en el mundo.La depresión no es un trastorno homogéneo, existen varios tipos y cada uno con si sintomatología propia, además cada tipo varía con el tiempo y su tratamiento nos es el mismo en el momento del diagnóstico que tiempo después. En general existen tres grupos de fármacos que se usan para paliar los efectos de la depresión: los inhibidores de la captación de serotonina, los antidepresivos tricíclicos y los inhibidores de la monoamino oxidasa. Lo que estos tres tratamientos químicos tienen en común son los terribles efectos secundarios, la única manera de evitarlos, como indica Vence la depresión, es sustituir estos medicamentos por vitaminas, minerales, hierbas naturales o alimentos que nos ayudan a prevenir la depresión y a paliar sus síntomas cuando inevitablemente aparece.Linda Knittel ha comprobado en sus trabajos la mejoría que experimentan los enfermos de depresión que toman productos naturales como la hierba de San Juan o el SAMe (S-Adenosil-L-Metionina), los que complementan su alimentación con suplementos como el 5-HTP o la vitamina B6 o los que previenen su aparición incorporando a su dieta nueces, legumbres o soja: sufren menos los síntomas y superan antes la depresión. Pero no se queda sólo ahí sino que nos advierte que unos hábitos saludables de vida, que incluyan el ejercicio, la relajación o el descanso necesario previenen contra la aparición de la depresión.Razones para comprar la obra:- El objetivo de esta guía es ayudar al máximo número de personas posibles por eso su lenguaje y su estilo deben ser claros y concisos.- La obra nos permite conocer de cerca la depresión y cuáles son sus síntomas más reconocibles y cómo podemos combatirla agregando los suplementos vitamínicos y los minerales apropiados a nuestra dieta.- La depresión es la enfermedad psicológica más diagnosticada en nuestra época, el interés por paliar sus síntomas y por progresar para salir de ella es inmenso.- La autora es una reconocida antropóloga nutricional y ha comprobado la relación entre los elementos que propone en la obra y la disminución de los síntomas de la depresión.Un libro muy útil con el aprenderás a revitalizar tu organismo para disminuir la tensión, el cansancio o la desgana y nos da sencillos pasos para mejorar nuestra energía, nuestro sentido del humor y para vencer la depresión.
