This guy makes some serious leaps in his arguments, and there are holes all through his reasoning. I'm not saying that some of this isn't reasonable and supported by research, but he has a long way to go before convincing me he has no agenda...

This is a well-researched book about the dangers of commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs. From drugs for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and more, doctors freely prescribe them for years with little follow-up. The author states that these drugs cause permanent changes to the brain.
