Sinopsis

The first book to expose the shortcomings of psychiatric drugs and to guide patients and doctors through the process of withdrawing from them. Well over ten million Americans are prescribed a psychiatric medication annually, for symptoms as varied as headache and insomnia to depression and various psychiatric disorders.
