The Anti-Depressant Fact Book: What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, and Luvox

Summary: Dangerous misconceptions
Review: This is an irresponsible book in the gravest extreme. All medications have down sides and side effects. Celexa gave me my life back, and it is greatly disturbing to me that many people who need medical help beyond "talk therapy" will be discouraged from seeking it through fear and panic spread by Breggin. My doctor was not pro-pharmaceutical, he was desperatly searching for a med that would get me out of my bed and let me resume my life. Depression is a biochemical disorder, which has been proved beyond any doubt. For a chemical disorder, you need medicine, period. The same way a cancer patient needs meds. Just like the cancer patient hasn't a prayer without meds, neither do the clinically depressed. It is a DISEASE...GET IT!!!
