> Sorry for the above post. I hadn't yet read the NYT article. It references Kramer's book. I remember reading it years and years ago -- long before I became depressed. After I actually got hit by MDD and discovered that SSRIs did virtually nothing for me, I went back and reread the book. I hated it the second time round - unscientific, written to be a blockbuster, not to help or illuminate anything.
I've only heard of it. Yeah, I don't think I could read a whole book praising antidepressants and psychiatry. I think I'd prefer something more like "Talking Back To Prozac".
But I just like reading classic articles to get a feel for the views on the newer generation of meds when the first came out. I find it interesting.
