By someone who knows Jack Gorman 
Jack Gorman is slick. He is Glib. He is dishonest. So is his so called book. He has been in trouble for being a state employee and being on drug companies' payroll. It is only fitting that now he has lost his medical license. This guy was having sex with at least one if not many patient and then tried to commit suicide when it came to light. I will give him zero stars.

The best info I have found 
This is by far the best book I have found on the susbject of psychiatric drugs. Dr Gorman is very knowledgeable and tells it like it is, which the drug companies do not always do.

Very complete and well documented. 
Great as a reference with good lay language. Not exactly something you'd take to the beach with you but with such a huge percentage of the population on psychotropics, pretty informative. Definitely worth buying whether you are a patient, a relative or friend of a patient, a non-psychiatric clinician, a mental health worker or, I daresay, even a psychiatrist!

Not bad 
One glaring omission is that he fails to mention that SSRIs can cause permanent sexual side effects even after discontinuance. Long overlooked by the medical community. Do google search for details.

A Very Informative Book About Mental Illness and Drugs To Treat It
This book is very informative when it comes to describing mental illness' and the drugs they use to treat them. There are chapters devoted to depression ( and all forms of it), anxiety ( all forms of it), schizophrenia,and manic depression. The 4 most common mental illnesses known. There is one chapter dedicated to sleeping pills. It describes in great detail the symptoms of each illness and gives examples of good treatment and bad treatment regarding patients who complain of symptoms. The most interesting area of the book are the drugs used to treat mental illness. Each drug is explained in detail as to what it is prescribed for, the dosage necessary, side effects, what tests to take if needed during thr drug trial use, and when not to use it. There is also a chapter devoted to drugs that are used to conteract side effects of anti-pyschotic medication. It also talks about how to know if you actually need medication foran illness and provides easy to read charts. I would highly recommend this book it will most definately provide you with valuable information that your doctor may have forgotten to mention or go into detail with you. The book is a little outdated but the only new drugs that are not included are Celexa, Lexapro, Cymbalta, and other newer anti-psychotics and mood stabilers.
