I read this book and Anatomy of an Epidemic when they first came out, I have given several copies to friends and relatives and I also own a digital copies of these books. I have seen the devastation that modern psychiatry has had on myself and those around me. I have been placed on 27 different medications over the last 20 years, within a few months of my first Dr. visit I realized how incompetent the psychiatrists were and how often my diagnosis changed based on nothing more than "Oh well that medication didn't work, I guess we will try another one".Pseudoscience on full display. I was able to learn more about mental illness and myself within the first 6 months of reading books and materials online than all the Dr's. I was seeing combined. I saw the truth and I ignored it over the last 20 years seeking a pill, an easy answer, a single answer to a much simpler set of problems that I was having. I was struggling with anxiety, depression, and OCPD (official diagnosis after being institutionalized). It took 20 years, 27 drugs and one trip to an inpatient facility to get that final diagnosis, which is pointless because the treatments have never worked for me and it's all based around the same categories of drugs I have already tried. So no matter how many times the diagnosis changes I am stuck trying the same classes of drugs.The simple answer is modern psychiatry has no answers, they don't know how it works or why it works (when it does). They have no tests to figure out what they should try etc. I have a few genes that predispose me to have anxiety, depression, and oppositional defiant disorder. None of the mutations I have are the big genes linked to depression and anxiety. I have had these test results for a decade not one Dr. would ever listen to me, no Dr. would take genetic expression into consideration evidence, tests, proof of any kind means nothing to the Dr's. I have had experiences with. It was always a new diagnosis a new explanation, I might as well have been stuck in a revolving door.My point is not to say the drugs will not work for you, I know a few people that the drugs have helped but those people had very different life experiences from mine. My anxiety issues had been present since the age of 3-4 and I had developed OCD behaviors as coping mechanisms and developed a very rigid OCPD way of thinking as a way to control my own inner world. Because I could not control the chaos around me. The whole nature vs nurture argument, basically the drugs caused me personally to feel worse. I have the liver enzyme mutations that cause me to poorly metabolize these drugs which leads to auto-intoxication, and to akathisia induced impulsivity. In my experience the drugs made me much sicker than I actually was, I didn't need the drugs. I needed a better diet, more frequent bowel movements, exercise, friends, a significant other, a part-time job, a dog etc.
This is a fantastic book that gives an inside look at the effects of antidepressant. In the book, Kirsch shares how he went from being a believer in effects of antidepressant to a doubter and finally a disbeliever. He gives all the evidence to back up his claims, showing that antidepressants are no better than placebo. He also shows that the chemical imbalance theory of depression is severly flawed. He points out that drugs that lower serotonin in the brain work just as well as those that increase serotinin. He also show that drugs such as benzodiazapines, opiates, and thyroid hormones work equally as well. This all points towards the conclusion that the placebo effect is the real reason for the improvement. When people are given a drug, they expect they will get better. This is an exeptionally written book that will keep you turning the page to uncover more evidence about the science of antidepressants. It's more than just a book about antidepressants, it's a story about how science works and why it is slow to change despite evidence to the contrary.
Unless you are familiar with the technical writing of Irving Kirsch (and even if you are), you need to pick this book up and read it cover to cover. In one of the most interesting and accessible scientific books I have read since graduate school, Kirsch walks the reader through the research he and his colleagues have done over the past decade which essentially obliterates the chemical-imbalance explanation of medically diagnosed depression. After laying his biases on the table, he clearly demonstrates the cautiousness and the rigor with which he went about understanding the placebo effect, then discovering that most (all?) antidepressants on the market today are essentially enhanced placebos. And he describes his (and others') research in terms few literate adults will misunderstand. Kirsch truly does just what his subtitle promises.But perhaps what encourages me most about this book (which is also why I recommend it to anyone) is that during the final chapter, he does not just leave the reader depressed over knowing that antidepressants are effective placebos. He actually walks the reader through possible alternative treatments. In other words, he deconstructs the so-called Antidepressent Myth, then offers his readers solutions the problems that depression continues to pose. It's a brief chapter, but effective nonetheless.I recommend this book particularly for the student of psychology because it is a great demonstration of how to take complicated research in the social sciences and make it accessible to all readers, something we psychologists ought to do a lot more of. (I speak as a psychologist; there are plenty of other professionals who ought to also take page out of Kirsch's book, figuratively speaking, and let us in on all their secrets.)All around, a great book.
I am a Senior Ombudsman in the State of California, which means I go out to care homes for the elderly, inspect, and take complaints.I got this book because of a seminar on the elderly being over medicated. I see it every time I go out. It is sad to see people looking up at the ceiling, comatose, withering away. And at the heart of it for many people is over medication.The book is well researched and accurate. It is readable. But it is not pleasant reading because it is the truth. It made me angry.
