Negative Positive
Title: A little bit of perspective please!
Review: I found this book to be important and fascinating as a clinical social worker, wife, mother and friend. Obviously psychotropic meds can and are helpful for a number of disorders which need addressing. However, it appears that we as a society have become totally hooked on the idea that everything from anxiety to pre-menstrual syndrome can and should be alleviated with medication. And don't get me started on the number of children being prescribed psychotropic medications for all kinds of things. Do we even prepare people for the fact that it is nearly impossible to wean from these drugs without horrendous side effects? These are the most prescribed medications in America today. We really need to take a look at this and develop more holistically based alternatives.
Is the review positive or negative?
