Drug corruption:a rough guide
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22237
I am not anti meds but i am against meds being over hyped and for that matter non meds alternatives NB the hyperbole surrounding CBT.
It is all too easy for a psychiatrist to point the blame at a client/patient when medication doesn't work as well as the glowing testimonials for it suggest it will,ie the client is awkward,troublesome,character disordered and to be potentially disengaged from,rather than to say "Hold on a minute.Maybe that med isn't the universal magic bullet that the drug company makes it out to be"
