Disease, Disorders, & Drugs by Wylie Jones Jordan MD

A flood of new 'disorder' names for some age-old symptoms has enabled the promotion of mood-altering drugs, but has not produced a single cure. It has instead has led to an impressive rise s in the costs and number of mental health problems of drug abuse, overdose, and dependency. American drug laws give tacit support to this business, and advertising has led many people to confuse identified diseases with syndromes (arbitrary symptom sets) and to overlook the vital difference between medicines and drugs. This book cuts through verbage to reveal the know facts about mental disorders.
