Reviews

A compelling story about mystery, deception, death, disappointment, vindication, and uncertainty. - American Psychological Association Healy confirms his status as one longtime thorn in the side of big drug companies, recounting how he was initially enthusiastic about SSRIs but eventually grew concerned about their side effects. - Psychology Today Physicians should be aware of Let Them Eat Prozac. - JAMA Let Them Eat Prozac is a double-pronged exploration, first of the SSRI drugs used to treat depression, and second of the drug industry. - Publishers Weekly Ultimately, the book is about science, society and the power and misuse of commercial promotion.... His investigation is impressive. - Nature This very important book will demonstrate beyond your worst dreams that the commercial needs of Big Pharma are the natural-born enemy of independent scientific research. - John Le Carre
