> Anyone heard of a book with this title? Apparently written by a Harvard Psychiatrist alleging (again) that SSRI's (i.e. Proxac, Paxil etc.) cause brain damage, are over/mis-used etc.I see shades of Dr.Peter Breggin and the 'anti-psychiatrists'.Any opinions?

> Also, there has been a recent class action lawsuit filed against the American Psychiatric Association and Novartis (a big drug company) alleging that they conspired to 'create' the diagnosis of ADHD to sell Ritalin. This too seems to be along the same lines i.e Psychiatric drugs are over/mis-prescribed and do more damage than good. What do you all think?The author name is Dr. Joseph Glenmullen.
