Psychiatric Drugs: An Assault on the Human Condition

Here is a fascinating interview with investigative journalist Robert Whitaker. In the interview Mr. Whitaker has this to say. "If you think about it, as long as we draw as big a circle as possible, and expand the boundaries of mental illness, psychiatry can have more clients and sell more drugs. So there's a built-in economic incentive to define mental illness in as broad terms as possible, and to find ordinary, distressing emotions or behaviors that some people may not like and label them as mental illness."
