Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Much ignorance and many misconceptions exist about psychotropic prescription drugs (antidepressants, tranquilizers, antipsychotics, hypnotics, etc.), since people are often reluctant to ask questions about these drugs, even though they are among the most heavily prescribed. This is reason enough to recommend the book; the only minor quibble is some unnecessary repetition in the text. The information is no more technical than is needed to deal with this complex subject; most current comparable titles are aimed at the health practitioner. This book is also far more comprehensible than such readily available titles as the Physicians' Desk Reference .
