Warning: Psychiatry Can Be Hazardous to Your Mental Health

<p><strong> How psychopharmacology has usurped the role of psychotherapy in our society to the great detriment of the patients involved.</strong></p><p> William Glasser describes in <em>Warning: Psychiatry Can Be Hazardous to Your Mental Health </em>the sea change that has taken place in the treatment of mental health in the last few years. Millions of patients are now routinely being given prescriptions for a wide range of drugs including Ritalin Prosac Zoloft and related drugs which can be harmful to the brain. A previous generation of patients would have had a course of psychotherapy without brain-damaging chemicals. Glasser explains the wide implications of this radical change in treatment and what can be done to counter it. </p><p> </strong></strong></p>
