Description:
This book explains in evidence-based detail why psychiatric drugs do far more harm than good. They kill more than half a million people every year among those aged 65 and above in the United States and Europe. Many people become dependent on them and may develop severe, long-lasting and dangerous withdrawal symptoms when they try to come off them. We could reduce our current usage of psychotropic drugs by 98% and at the same time improve patients’ mental and physical health and survival. The book debunks the many myths that leading psychiatrists – very often on drug industry payroll – have created and nurtured over decade
This book explains in evidence-based detail why psychiatric drugs do far more harm than good. They kill more than half a million people every year among those aged 65 and above in the United States and Europe. Many people become dependent on them and may develop severe, long-lasting and dangerous withdrawal symptoms when they try to come off them. We could reduce our current usage of psychotropic drugs by 98% and at the same time improve patients’ mental and physical health and survival. The book debunks the many myths that leading psychiatrists – very often on drug industry payroll – have created and nurtured over decades in order to conceal the fact that biological psychiatry has been a disaster. Biological psychiatry sees drugs as the “solution” for virtually all problems, in marked contrast to the patients. Very few patients respond to the drugs they receive and the psychiatrists’ frustrations over the lack of progress often lead to more diagnoses, more drugs and higher doses, harming the patients further. The book has also appeared in Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Slovenian and Spanish.
