Dr. Priscilla Slagle is an orthomolecular psychiatrist and a leading authority on the treatment of low moods and depression with amino acids and nutritional therapy. She became interested in the treatment of mood disorders as a result of her own depression, which lasted for many years and did not respond to traditional psychoanalysis or psychotherapeutic treatment. Disinclined to use antidepressant medications because of the adverse reactions which so commonly accompany them, Dr. Slagle discovered that "there are natural food substances that will create the same end effects, that is, elevate mood in the same way without causing side effects or toxicity."
