Summary

A COMPREHENSIVE WAKE-UP CALL FOR PATIENTS AND PROFESSIONALS

Antidepressed breaks down the growing issue of antidepressant use, harm and dependence—how we got to this point, what’s happening worldwide every single day, and most importantly, where we go from here。

Providing information that both patients and mental health professionals desperately need, Antidepressed exposes the holes in mental health systems and highlights the desperate need for reform。

Featuring compelling accounts from real people whose lives have been irrevocably harmed by prescription antidepressants, Antidepressed provides proof that there is no such thing as a magic pill—and that pretending otherwise risks the lives and well-being of those who need help the most。

Interesting read…

I received a complimentary copy。A great in depth view on mental health and its effects on every day life。 A great read for anyone interested in learning about the power of a healthy mind and how to free yourself of the need for antidepressants。 This book also offers a helpful view on life before and after the need for meditation to treat your mental health and offers hope that we my one day not need antidepressants。

This is a must-read book for anyone on anti-depressants, thinking about taking anti-depressants, or has a loved one taking or considering taking these medications。 Beverly Thomson wrote an incredible book on par with books like Saving Normal by Dr。 Allen Frances about the issues of overprescribing and overdiagnosing mental illness。 What separates Thomson’s book from others is that this is a deep dive into the topic of antidepressants。 I’ve fairly educated about antidepressants and the negative e This is a must-read book for anyone on anti-depressants, thinking about taking anti-depressants, or has a loved one taking or considering taking these medications。 Beverly Thomson wrote an incredible book on par with books like Saving Normal by Dr。 Allen Frances about the issues of overprescribing and overdiagnosing mental illness。 What separates Thomson’s book from others is that this is a deep dive into the topic of antidepressants。 I’ve fairly educated about antidepressants and the negative effects, but I learned a ton from this book。 Thomson covers in great detail the foundation of the problem, the lack of informed consent, and she brings light to a lot of the research (and lack of research) around negative effects of taking these medications。 Far too many people believe that Big Pharma has our best interest and these medications will fix us, but most people don’t know of the potential side effects or long-term downsides。 I really hope this book gets a ton of attention because we really need to have more discussions around antidepressants as well as much more research。 。。。more

I wish I had of read this book before going to see my GP。 This is essential reading for anyone who has ever been given a mental health diagnosis。 If every prescriber knew the facts outlined in Antidepressed, then the world would genuinely be a better place。 Finally, in Antidepressed, people have a resource they can use to ensure they fully have the information they need to be able make decision on whether or not to take an antidepressant。I'll be gifting many copies of Antidepressed to my friends I wish I had of read this book before going to see my GP。 This is essential reading for anyone who has ever been given a mental health diagnosis。 If every prescriber knew the facts outlined in Antidepressed, then the world would genuinely be a better place。 Finally, in Antidepressed, people have a resource they can use to ensure they fully have the information they need to be able make decision on whether or not to take an antidepressant。I'll be gifting many copies of Antidepressed to my friends and family in need。 10/10。 。。。more

Beverley Thomson has written the book that we all so desperately need to share with anyone who is taking, thinking of taking, prescribing, and/or considering prescribing antidepressants。 There is an ever-rising number of people who will fall into one or more of these categories, or who will be living, working or closely associated with people that do。 Whilst the medical profession has a responsibility to “first do no harm”, we as patients also have a responsibility to learn about this medication Beverley Thomson has written the book that we all so desperately need to share with anyone who is taking, thinking of taking, prescribing, and/or considering prescribing antidepressants。 There is an ever-rising number of people who will fall into one or more of these categories, or who will be living, working or closely associated with people that do。 Whilst the medical profession has a responsibility to “first do no harm”, we as patients also have a responsibility to learn about this medication we take, often with very little thought。 The book is deeply researched and fully referenced, presented in plain language in a practical format, with comfortably sized print and clear layout。 It has five main parts, covering the medicalisation of our mental health; the power of the informed patient; safe antidepressant management and withdrawal; special concerns; and patient experiences。 These are variously subdivided into easily searchable segments, enabling readers to dip into any parts they may consider of special relevance。 The book also has a substantial resources section for further support, research and exploration。Highly recommended! 。。。more
