Exploring the staggering number of antidepressant prescriptions in the U.S., the book delves into how pharmaceutical companies shape the perception of mental health needs. Barber critiques the industry's influence on treatment options, highlighting the neglect of non-pharmaceutical approaches that could effectively address emotional struggles. This compelling narrative examines the cultural implications of psychiatric medications, making a strong case for the need to reconsider our reliance on instant solutions for mental health issues.
