The pill that steals lives: one woman's terrifying journey to discover the truth about antidepressants
Newman, K B
The pill that steals lives: one woman's terrifying journey to discover the truth about antidepressants - London John Blake 2016
While going through a divorce, documentary filmmaker Katinka Blackford Newman was prescribed an antidepressant, which precipitated a four-day episode of toxic psychosis. In this book she describes her year-long decline while taking this medication, resulting in her needed 24-hour care. A year later, once she was taken off all medication, she made a full recovery within weeks. She explores the question of whether there could be hundreds of people worldwide who kill themselves and others because of these drugs, and why so many people are taking them when experts say they are no more effective than placebo for people who are distressed rather than depressed.
