The Hidden Epidemic: How Psychiatric Drugs Created a Mental Health Crisis
America faces a puzzling paradox. Since 1955, when psychiatric medications were introduced as revolutionary treatments, mental illness disability rates haven't declined-they've exploded sixfold. Today, 1 in 76 Americans receives disability payments for mental illness, compared to just 1 in 468 in the pre-medication era. Even more alarming, childhood mental illness has skyrocketed thirty-five fold in just two decades. How could this happen during a supposed "psychopharmacology revolution"? This contradiction launched journalist Robert Whitaker on an investigation that would challenge everything we thought we knew about psychiatric drugs and the chemical imbalance theory that justified their widespread use.
