The Cradle Will Fall is co-authored by Dr. Carl S. Burak, MD, LLD and the pseudonymous Michele Remington, a real patient of Dr. Burak's practice of psychiatric medicine.

Michele's story of post-partum depression should be read by any expectant mother with a family history of depression or any physician who has a family practice or an ob/gyn specialty.

Dr. Burak has practiced psychiatric medicine for many years. In his early medical career he practiced in family practice, tribal medicine, and sports medicine. He writes with a conversational style which will draw you in to the story of Michele and her family and will rivet your attention from the first page to the last.

In the process you'll learn a great deal about the symptoms, treatment and hope for patients with clinical depression whose own doctors (or primary care physicians in HMO-speak)may know little or nothing about the devastating effects of an imbalance of chemicals in the brain.
