| Synopsis: |
When Prozac hit the American market in the late 1980s it changed the way the public viewed depression. For the short term, Prozac proved to be the wonder drug everyone hoped it would be. But was Prozac really the panacea much of the common media claimed it was? Only time would tell.Now that Prozac and other similar antidepressants have been on the market for nearly two decades, we know more about what they do to the human body over longer periods of time. For some, these medications remain a miracle cure, giving patients lives beyond depression with minimal side effects. For others, these drugs seem more like a cruel paradox: they alleviate depression, obsessive compulsions, or anxiety disorders, but add a new set of problems the patients never even imagined, and for a few people, these antidepressants are nothing short of lethal.So which is it? Are medicines like Prozac miracle cures, paradoxes, or violence-inducing evils? This book looks at these and other questions as it examines the history, development, biology, medical effects, and cultural impact of the world's most popular antidepressant. |
