Have you ever experienced brain fog, strange moods, or suicidal thinking while on a prescription medication?
Do you wonder if your doctor gave you all the necessary warnings about the mental effects of what has been prescribed?
Do you sometimes think you might not need to be on all those drugs?
Chances are you have not been given the opportunity for informed consent because you were not told what is really known (and not known) about what the drug is doing in the body and brain, its possible side mental effects, what's known and not known about its safety, and the actual evidence regarding how well it works (or not).
Any drug that causes changes in mind, mood, emotion, or behavior is, by definition, a psychotropic agent, regardless of whether it is prescribed in a psychiatric setting. Psychiatric drugs have the potential to cause the very things they claim to treat, or worse. Even common, non-psychiatric medications can have profound mental effects.
In today's assembly line health care with 10-minute office visits, often with only a non-physician assistant or nurse, the quick fix of dispensing a prescription almost never includes a thorough discussion of the factors you would really need to make a well-considered decision about accepting a drug. This user-friendly no-nonsense guide empowers the health care consumer with the basics in order to make informed decisions about psychiatric drugs and other meds with unsuspected mind-bending effects.
Dr. Dolan is passionate about patient empowerment and believes being an informed consumer is the only protection against becoming a victim of your medications.

I will admit that almost all psychotropic are dangerous, that admission is also with almost every single medication you take including supplements. for example eliquis a "blood thinner" increase your chance of bleeding or hemorrhagic stroke. how can evil MDs prescribe something so dangerous. ??the answer is risk per reward... studies show pts with a hx of a-fib. heart attack and stroke have improved outcomes on a "blood thinner".
same as psychotropics such as an SSRI or mood stabilizer. these medications are prescribed to MANAGE not cure people in true psychological misery. many patients in psychiatry have experienced unbelievable traumas.. and diet and exercise won't fix them. psych providers utilize the tools at our disposal to assist a pt manage these symptoms and it is a practice for no 2 pts are the same.
lastly all areas of medicine are not to the level of perfection and efficiency that the broad public may believe. and ofcourse there is misdiagnosis and over treatment and pharmaceutical corruption. but this book and author is so wildly inept and antagonistic that the layman reader may believe all of what this book is saying and think of themselves as informed. it's a tragedy this is on the audible platform.
lastly.. people if your dealing with something. don't give up hope. chin up. find a psych provider you trust, dont allow someone to diagnose you on the first visit.. go to therapy. be informed on medications. take it slow. take it with friends. take it easy.
the author has apparently been wronged in the past..
