About The Book:
Understanding the Benzodiazepine Crisis by Diana Amantea, published by CRC Press, is a pivotal work addressing the contemporary issues surrounding the opioid and benzodiazepine crises. Released on 17th August 2021, this paperback edition comprises 202 pages of in-depth analysis, exploring the role of endogenous opioids (endorphins and enkephalins) and the newly recognized benzodiazepine crisis.

Amantea provides a thorough investigation into whether endogenous benzodiazepine-like substances exist, their functions, and their impact on anti-anxiety medications. By delving into the intricate relationship between these substances and the medications used to treat anxiety, this book sheds light on the adverse effects of current therapeutic practices and suggests avenues for further research and understanding.

This work is crucial for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students interested in pharmacology, neuroscience, and addiction studies. The book provides valuable insights into the biochemical and physiological underpinnings of the opioid and benzodiazepine crises and offers a critical perspective on addressing these urgent health issues.
