Do antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs make people better or worse? Do schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety disorders run natural disease courses, or are they lifelong conditions? Why are so many people receiving disability income for mental disorders in a time when psychiatry claims to have created pharmacological cures for mental diseases?

Robert Whitaker explores these questions in his book An Anatomy of an Epidemic. Whitaker uncovers compelling evidence that long-term use of antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs actually increase the chances of having the very symptoms you are trying to ameliorate. In this interview, I talk with Robert about the evidence behind his book.
