    Its very well writen and nice to be thought off as not as mad as a fruitcake ..
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2018*

Have wanted this book for so long ,reading or trying to very slowly as had the works ECT-Neuroleptic Mallignant Syndrome -Got me nowhere other than Epilepsy and nearly killing me off ...Anyone thinking off going into the buisness off being any kind off Dr (Should read this sometimes you wrongly diagnose we are humans not experiments ,and you should be responsible for your Actions ....We have names are diagnosis should apparently not define us (Wise Words from a nice RMN)However he did not carry the 55 Diagnosis given to me and as none off the treatments worked -just caused more problems ...I think that everyone should read this ..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good background information
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2017*

Good book with much helpful information, though I feel it may become outdated as new drugs come onto the market.I bought it for research for a book I'm writing, as I gave my copy away some years ago to someone who needed it.We need more books like this to help a lay person understand what drugs are being administered in the mental health area , especially.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Toxic Psychiatry - The truth
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2014*

Yet another excellent book by Peter R Breggin MD. about the dreadful effects of the use of antipsychotics or neuroleptics drugs, antidepressants, stimulants, minor tranquillizers and prescription sedatives or sleeping pills.  It makes it very clear that most psychiatric drugs are far more dangerous to take than people realise, but they can also become dangerous when discontinued too abruptly. It is quite a harrowing read at times but this book should serve as a warning to those who are about to take such legalised drugs!
