"This is a narrative about a drug crisis still in the making. The story is mainly about the control and consumption of mood-regulating drugs, antidepressants like Prozac. The evidence from this story points to a much wider problem - sickening human dependence on corporate and professional power." "It describes the moments and events that led to the setting up a government enquiry on the risks of drug-induced dependence and suicidal behaviour with antidepressants. It provides context for the findings of this enquiry, and reviews the limitations of a drug safety system in which the regulators routinely investigate what others might conclude to be their mistakes." "Medicines out of Control? is a discourse on the safety of medicines and the ethos of pharmaceutical medicine - and their impact on personal safety and health."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
