Prozac Nation is a memoir by American writer Elizabeth Wurtzel published in 1994. The book describes the author's experiences with atypical depression,[1] her own character failings and how she managed to live through particularly difficult periods while completing college and working as a writer. Prozac is a trade name for the antidepressant fluoxetine.[2] Wurtzel originally titled the book I Hate Myself and I Want To Die but her editor convinced her otherwise.[3] It ultimately carried the subtitle Young and Depressed in America: A Memoir.
