Known as "the Ralph Nader of psychiatry," Dr. Peter Breggin has been the medical expert in countless court cases involving the use or misuse of psychoactive medications. This unusual position has given him unprecedented access to private pharmaceutical research and correspondence files, information from which informs this straight-talking guide to the most prescribed and controversial category of American drugs: antidepressants.
From how these drugs work in the brain to how they treat (or
don't treat) depression and obsessive-compulsive, panic, and other
disorders; from the documented side and withdrawal effects to what
every parent needs to know about antidepressants and teenagers, The
Anti-Depressant Fact Book is up-to-the minute and easy-to-access.
Hard-hitting and enlightening, every current, former, and prospective
antidepressant-user will want to read this book.
