Medication Madness - The Role of Psychiatric Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide, and Crime (Paperback)

In "Medication Madness," psychiatrist Peter R. Breggin, M.D., describes how people taking psychiatric medication can experience abnormal behavioral reactions, including suicide, violence, emotional breakdowns, and criminal acts. Dr. Breggin explains his concept of ?medication spellbinding?: individuals taking psychiatric drugs may have no idea whatsoever that their mental conditions are deteriorating and that their actions are no longer under control. He proves his argument by documenting dozens of cases from his practice and his consultations in legal cases.

Reading like a thriller, the book also examines how the FDA, the pharmaceutical industry, and the medical establishment continue to oversell the value of these drugs, and he provides information on how to safely stop taking psychiatric medications. "Medication Madness "is a compelling and frightening read as well as a cautionary tale about our reliance on medicine to fix what ails us.
