| Synopsis: |
Generally, people don't put much thought into the medicines they use. Behind every medicine, however, lies a complicated story. In the case of antidepressants, that story is both fascinating and controversial. Antidepressants today are one of the most highly prescribed classes of drugs in the world, and the companies that produce them have profited handsomely from that success. Are those profits justified, though? Are the pharmaceutical companies that make the medicines helping other people? Or are they simply helping themselves? What is the government's role in all this?This book charts a course through the history of pharmaceuticals, examines the way in which drugs are discovered and brought to market, and looks at some of the controversies and questions that surround the pharmaceutical business. |
