The Anti-Depressant Era
David Healy
Synopsis
|
When we stop at the pharmacy to pick up our Prozac, are we simply buying a drug?
Or are we buying into a disease as well? The first complete account of the phenomenon
of antidepressants, this authoritative, highly readable book relates how depression,
a disease only recently deemed too rare to merit study, has become one of the most
common disorders of our day-and a booming business to boot.
