A Neuroscientist Speaks Out

For those of you who would like a little science to back up my concern for the psyco-pharmaceutical treatments that are now being used in psychiatry today, I would like to turn your attention to one Elliot Valenstein and his book Blaming the Brain: The Truth About Drugs and Mental Health. Mr. Valenstien is a neuroscientist from the University of Michigan. His book explores the hard science of the psyco-pharmaceutical industry's claim that all mental disorders are caused by a known disorder of the brain, and that these disorders have their remedies in psyco-pharmaceutical drugs, most of which, Mr. Valenstien points out, were discovered accidentally, not custom designed to cure a 'disease'. For those who are scientifically inclined, this book is a great resource to draw upon when making your psyco-pharmaceutical decisions.-- Read Mr. Valenstien's latest interview.
