* Do you believe everything to be found in the literature you cited?How does the first article relate to psychopharmacology?
I find that the second piece regarding Julie Holland and her book, "Moody Bitches", contains stuff that I agree with. However, I feel the last quote clearly sums up her agenda. She says what many people want to hear. It helps to sell books. However, in my estimation, she shows either strong bias or worse - a lack of understanding of the nature of the illnesses she treats and their treatment.
"I am not anti-medication in the right situations. These pills work. They make people feel happier and more relaxed. I get why people take them. But I am suggesting that there are healthier ways that are less of a quick fix that I think some of these people who are on meds should try. The whole survival guide section of my book is about that."
If you want to post stuff, I think you should be prepared to accept some scrutiny. I am not flaming you, but I am calling you out on the literature you posted.
