What is goingon? Anatomy of an Epidemic challenges readers to think through thatquestion themselves. First, Whitaker investigates what is knowntoday about the biological causes of mental disorders. Dopsychiatric medications fix “chemical imbalances” in the brain, ordo they, in fact, create them? Researchers spent decades studyingthat question, and by the late 1980s, they had their answer.Readers will be startled—and dismayed—to discover what was reportedin the scientific journals. Then comes the scientific query at the heart of this book: Duringthe past
