Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry is Medicating a Nation
An Interview with Charles Barber about his book "Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry is Medicating a Nation." Barber explores the ways pharmaceutical companies exert pressure on Americans to medicate themselves, how America has come to account for 66% of the global consumption of antidepressants, and how without an industry to promote them, nonpharmaceutical approaches that have the potential to help millions, are tragically overlooked.
