The Emperor's New Drugs: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth Book

Do antidepressants work? Of course—everyone knows it.

Instead of treating depression with drugs, weâ??ve been treating it with suggestion.The Emperorâ??s New Drugs makes an overwhelming case that what had seemed a cornerstone of psychiatric treatment is little more than a faulty consensus.
