Anatomy of an Epidemic : Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and #3121
24,68 €
Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America" by Robert Whitaker critically examines the role of psychiatric drugs in mental health treatment. Published in 2010, the book challenges the mainstream belief that mental illnesses are caused by chemical imbalances and questions the long-term efficacy of psychotropic medications. Whitaker argues that these drugs, rather than curing mental illnesses, may exacerbate them by disrupting natural brain processes and contributing to chronic disability. He explores historical trends, from the introduction of Thorazine in the 1950s to modern antidepressants and antipsychotics.
