Sharpe also raises thought-provoking questions about the way antidepressant use affects one's sense of self and one's relationship with his or her own thoughts, and thoughtfully frames the discussion in the context of the American ideal of being both authentic and happy, a paradigm that seems difficult to reconcile with antidepressant use or lack thereof for a depressed individual. The author provides not only scientific and sociological research but also personal context for each of the topics touched upon. Most importantly, this book is very important in today's day and age, as more and more Americans are on antidepressants than ever before, especially those starting from a young age; Ms. Sharpe's use of interview snippets from many young people who have struggled with depression, anxiety, and other issues and faced their own soul-searching in the process of taking medication buttresses her claims and provides a much-needed personal touch. Highly recommended and am looking forward to future written works by Katherine Sharpe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars We needed this *by H***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2012* This is not your typical hack job against drugs -- this book is thoughtful and well researched. I love the way she integrates her own experience with information, like how antidepressants were discovered, the problems with defining depression anyway, and thoughts about how we as a whole culture feel about happiness and success. A long time ago, I came to realize that parents who say "I only want my child to be happy" are the most demanding parents of all. My own children have both had "happiness" problems and I wish I had had this book a long time ago. It doesn't tell you that antidepressants are uselesss -- quite the contrary. She talked to a lot of people with different experiences. But this book makes you think, and if you or your children need to take antidepressants, this book will help you talk about it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Well written, and informative. *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2012* Antidepressant use in children and adolescents, as well as their continued use into adulthood, is an interesting topic that is covered well in this book. The book makes you ask tough questions, and look hard at the use of antidepressants. The book brings up new issues, and deals with them through interviews and well-written commentary throughout. I would highly recommend the book to anyone who has ever taken an antidepressant, or is interested in the field of psychology. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/119444103-coming-of-age-on-zoloft-how-antidepressants-cheered-us-up](https://www.desertcart.us/products/119444103-coming-of-age-on-zoloft-how-antidepressants-cheered-us-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
