More than six million Britons take todays popular antidepressants. Harvard Medical Schools distinguished Dr Joseph Glenmullen leads the charge in warning the public that antidepressants are over prescribed, under regulated and terribly misunderstood in their side and withdrawal effects. "The Antidepressant Solution" is the first book to call attention to the drugs vicious circle: despite the fact that many people are ready to go off these drugs, they are needlessly still on them because either the patient or their doctor mistake antidepressant withdrawal for depressive relapse. Unfortunately, family doctors who are not familiar with how to safely wean patients off of them write seventy percent of prescriptions for these drugs. Now, however, "The Antidepressant Solution" offers a step-by-step guide for patients and doctors alike.Written by the premier authority in the field, "The Antidepressant Solution" is an invaluable book for all those concerned with going through the process - from friends and family members to the doctors and patients themselves.

He warns us that no one really knows the long-term consequences of these chemicals on the brain.Candace B. Pert, Ph.D., Research Professor, Georgetown University School of Medicine, author of "Molecules of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine" Beautifully, clearly, and enthrallingly written, it is a courageous book and a must-read for every American.Janet Maslin, "The New York Times" An important, deeply troubling examination of the means by which these drugs have become so widely disseminated and the possible long-term toll they may take.Joan Acocella, "The New Yorker" One is inclined to listen to him, because he is not a one-solution man.

Like many cautious psychiatrists, he uses them to relieve depression to the point where the patient can do something about its source.Leon Eisenberg, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School Dr. Glenmullen documents the carefully concealed dark side of these highly touted drugs and makes a strong case that alternative treatments yield equal benefits at much less risk.

Nuland, M.D., Yale School of Medicine, author of "How We Die" and "The Mysteries Within" The all-purpose pill that guarantees a psychiatric quick fix has finally been exposed as an illusion. Dr. Glenmullens lucid explanations and engrossing narratives are the much-needed corrective to the sensationalism of the false prophets of Prozac and the zealots of Zoloft.

Moore, George Washington University Medical Center, author of "Prescription for Disaster: The Hidden Dangers in Your Medicine Cabinet" Joseph Glenmullen has done an outstanding job in portraying the real-life experiences of patients and using them to illustrate the scientific facts. If you really want to listen to Prozac, this is an eye-opening account that should not be missed.John Horgan, author of the "End of Science" and "The Undiscovered Mind" An authoritative and eloquent antidote to the pro-drug bias of modern psychiatry.
