Karen H. (KarenHorvath) reviewed Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation on + 26 more book reviews
The writer is not a psychiatrist. He seems to be unhappy that drug companies profit from the sale of these medications. This is what I have to say about the book. SO WHAT. If people choose to take these drugs with the advice of their doctors, SO What. Is it worse then alcohol, or people chewing betel nuts, or other natural remedies? What is wrong with taking an Ambien so one doesn't have the stress of lying there thinking, what's tomorrow going to be like with no sleep. There are some interesting statistics, in the book, but overall, the book is disappointing. Paxil saved my life, if you feel the same, this book isn't for you. Happy reading.
