内容简介：
In this astonishing and startling book, award-winning science
and history writer Robert Whitaker investigates a medical mystery:
Why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the United States
tripled over the past two decades? Every day, 1,100 adults and
children are added to the government disability rolls because they
have become newly disabled by mental illness, with this epidemic
spreading most rapidly among our nation’s children. What is going
on?
Anatomy of an Epidemic challenges readers to think through that
question themselves. First, Whitaker investigates what is known
today about the biological causes of mental disorders. Do
psychiatric medications fix “chemical imbalances” in the brain, or
do they, in fact, create them? Researchers spent decades studying
that question, and by the late 1980s, they had their answer.
Readers will be startled—and dismayed—to discover what was reported
in the scientific journals.
Then comes the scientific query at the heart of this book: During
the past fifty years, when investigators looked at how psychiatric
drugs affected long-term outcomes, what did they find? Did they
discover that the drugs help people stay well? Function better?
Enjoy good physical health? Or did they find that these
medications, for some paradoxical reason, increase the likelihood
that people will become chronically ill, less able to function
well, more prone to physical illness?
This is the first book to look at the merits of psychiatric
medications through the prism of long-term results. Are long-term
recovery rates higher for medicated or unmedicated schizophrenia
patients? Does taking an antidepressant decrease or increase the
risk that a depressed person will become disabled by the disorder?
Do bipolar patients fare better today than they did forty years
ago, or much worse? When the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH) studied the long-term outcomes of children with ADHD, did
they determine that stimulants provide any benefit?
By the end of this review of the outcomes literature, readers are
certain to have a haunting question of their own: Why have the
results from these long-term studies—all of which point to the same
startling conclusion—been kept from the public?
In this compelling history, Whitaker also tells the personal
stories of children and adults swept up in this epidemic. Finally,
he reports on innovative programs of psychiatric care in Europe and
the United States that are producing good long-term outcomes. Our
nation has been hit by an epidemic of disabling mental illness, and
yet, as Anatomy of an Epidemic reveals, the medical blueprints for
curbing that epidemic have already been drawn up.
