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 .

Review
"An outstanding book about these drugs for the non-physician." --Carl Salzman, M.D., Director of Psychopharmacology, Harvard Medical School

"This book...meets a critical need...for the millions of people for whom psychiatric drugs are so important. " --Herbert Pardes, Past President of the American Psychiatric Association

4.0 out of 5 stars Very complete and well documented., February 15, 2006
By Brain Medications (New York City) - See all my reviews
Great as a reference with good lay language. Not exactly something you'd take to the beach with you but with such a huge percentage of the population on psychotropics, pretty informative. Definitely worth buying whether you are a patient, a relative or friend of a patient, a non-psychiatric clinician, a mental health worker or, I daresay, even a psychiatrist!

5.0 out of 5 stars COMPLETE AND COMPREHENSIVE, May 27, 2001
By A Customer
Dr. Gorman provides the general public and, the medical community, information on psychiatric drugs NOT found in the gazillion other books of this type on the market. I strongly suggest this book to patients currently taking medication or considering it. You will be glad you read it.

1.0 out of 5 stars By someone who knows Jack Gorman, August 6, 2008
Jack Gorman is slick. He is Glib. He is dishonest. So is his so called book. He has been in trouble for being a state employee and being on drug companies' payroll. It is only fitting that now he has lost his medical license. This guy was having sex with at least one if not many patient and then tried to commit suicide when it came to light. I will give him zero stars.
