My Dad is a Psychiatrist, aka: a shrink. And he is of the mind (and I share his mind on this one) that there is a terrible drug problem that nobody talks about. And I mean prescription drugs. And by prescription drugs I don’t mean the kind that you can purchase via your email spam, but I mean the kind that often get prescribed by doctors. Without going into too much detail over the issues that my Dad witnesses and works with everyday (shocking sometimes!), here is a fabulous interview with a psychiatrist who shares my Dad’s and my view on the subject of drug companies and the field of Psychiatry. Please click here and give the interview a listen (longer) or a read the highlights (shorter), because this topic is very important to me and so under-discussed…

Thank you NPR for the interview and thank you, Dr Carlat, for your book, Unhinged: The Trouble With Psychology, which I can’t wait to read.
