Outstanding book by Maryland Gentleman (MD)

This book is a classic, it takes psychiatric medicine and helps not only the professional but the patient as well to understand the field in great detail, while at the same time keeping it all simplistic. I most strongly recommend this book.

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 by Mary

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. by Brain Medications (New York City)

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 by Vornan19

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.
