"The timing of Robert Whitaker's "Anatomy of an Epidemic," a comprehensive and highly readable history of psychiatry in the United States, couldn't be better."-Salon.com "Anatomy of an Epidemic offers some answers, charting controversial ground with mystery-novel pacing."-TIME.com "Lucid, pointed and important,Anatomy of an Epidemicshould be required reading for anyone considering extended use of psychiatric medicine. Whitaker is at the height of his powers."-Greg Critser, author ofGeneration Rx "Why are so many more people disabled by mental illness than ever before? Why are those so diagnosed dying 10-25 years earlier than others? InAnatomy of an Epidemicinvestigative reporter Robert Whitaker cuts through flawed science, greed and outright lies to reveal that the drugs hailed as the cure for mental disorders instead worsen them over the long term. But Whitaker's investigation also offers hope for the future: solid science backs nature's way of healing our mental ills through time and human relationships.

There is nothing unorthodox here-this case is solid and evidence-backed.

Robert Whitaker is a reliable, sensible, and persuasive, guide to the paradoxes and complexities of what we know about mental illness, and what we might be able to do to lessen the suffering it brings."-Jay Neugeboren, author ofImagining RobertandTransforming Madness "Every so often a book comes along that exposes a vast deceit.

Synopsis
Updated with bonus material, including a new foreword and afterword with new research, this New York Times bestseller is essential reading for a time when mental health is constantly in the news. In this astonishing and startling book, award-winning science and history writer Robert Whitaker investigates a medical mystery: Why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the United States tripled over the past two decades? Interwoven with Whitaker's groundbreaking analysis of the merits of psychiatric medications are the personal stories of children and adults swept up in this epidemic. As Anatomy of an Epidemic reveals, other societies have begun to alter their use of psychiatric medications and are now reporting much improved outcomes . . . so why can't such change happen here in the United States? Why have the results from these long-term studies--all of which point to the same startling conclusion--been kept from the public? Our nation has been hit by an epidemic of disabling mental illness, and yet, as Anatomy of an Epidemic reveals, the medical blueprints for curbing that epidemic have already been drawn up.
