I agree, this type of literature is very irresponsable.
THe reason for this is the following: the people who are going to be *most* susceptable to fully buying into breggin's claims are the people who are the most seriously depressed.
Breggin is *trying* to adress the people who are using AD's for cosmetic reasons, but these are the people who most quickly shrug off the claims made by breggin. The people to whom this information is most detremental are the people who need the treatment the most.
It was very stupid of him to write the book. Clearly he knew that jumping on the bandwagon of sensationalist antipharmacology literature during these times would be sure to cash him into a bestseller postition.
