Amazon: Barber explores the ways in which pharmaceutical companies first
create the need for a drug and then rush to fill it, and he reveals that
the increasing pressure Americans are under to medicate themselves
(direct-to-consumer advertising, fewer nondrug therapeutic options, the
promise of the quick fix, the blurring of distinction between mental
illness and everyday problems). Most importantly, he convincingly argues
that without an industry to promote them, non-pharmaceutical approaches
that could have the potential to help millions are tragically overlooked
by a nation that sees drugs as an instant cure for all emotional
difficulties.
