I'm Not Crazy... I'm Allergic by Sherilyn Powers is a recounting of her own experiences written with a story component, her own observations, and medical studies to help explain the connections between allergies and depression. Through the experiences of Julie, the author acquaints us with the many facets of its manifestation – triggers of allergy as well as the response from our physique. The link between allergy and depression and the role played by our nature and constitution, like sensitivity, is then examined. Other topics like how to test for various allergies, identifying our regular toxins, and looking for hidden allergies are also discussed. Sherilyn concludes her book with a concise summary of identifying, testing, and treating one's allergies.
Sherilyn Powers has succeeded in presenting a short treatise on what causes lingering, sometimes extreme, discomfort to many amongst us in a clear and concise manner. The connection allergy has with depression as well as the discussion on allergies in dormant form opened new vistas of knowledge, and I am now in a better position to give ‘sage’ advice when someone expresses unknown or unexplained difficulty or irritation. Detailed end notes and a list of resources make it easy for the reader to obtain further help and clarification. This is an excellent guide; it enables one to learn and understand how debilitating allergies can be, including the fact that symptoms of depression and other “crazy” reactions can be, in reality, allergy or sensitivity symptoms.
