"The tally of those who are so disabled by mental 
disorders that they qualify for Supplemental 
Security Income (SSI) or Social Security 
Disability Insurance (SSDI) increased nearly two 
and a half times between 1987 and 2007­from one 
in 184 Americans to one in seventy-six. For 
children, the rise is even more startling­a 
thirty-five-fold increase in the same two decades.

"If psychoactive drugs are useless, as Kirsch 
believes about antidepressants, or worse than 
useless, as Whitaker believes, why are they so 
widely prescribed by psychiatrists and regarded 
by the public and the profession as something 
akin to wonder drugs? Why is the current against 
which Kirsch and Whitaker and, as we will see, 
Carlat are swimming so powerful? I discuss these 
questions in Part II of this review. "
