Download or read book The Sedated Society written by James Davies and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides an answer to a rising public health concern: what drives the over prescription of psychiatric medication epidemic? Over 15% of the UK public takes a psychiatric medication on any given day, and the numbers are only set to increase. Placing this figure alongside the emerging clinical and scientific data revealing their poor outcomes and the harms these medications often cause, their commercial success cannot be explained by their therapeutic efficacy.Chapters from an interdisciplinary team of global experts in critical psychopharmacology rigorously examine how pharmaceutical sponsorship and marketing, diagnostic inflation, the manipulation and burying of negative clinical trials, lax medication regulation, and neoliberal public health policies have all been implicated in ever-rising psycho-pharmaceutical consumption. This volume will ignite a long-overdue public debate. It will be of interest to professionals in the field of mental health and researchers ranging from sociology of health, to medical anthropology and the political economy of health.

Download or read book Sedated written by Britt Doyle and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tragic Story that Starts with a Prescription from a Doctor. It was early one spring morning that Britt Doyle received the terrible news that his ex-wife Wynne had been found dead in her bed-and worse, his young son had been the one to find her. Wynne Doyle seemed to have it all-wealth, education, a successful marriage, and a beautiful family. She had the talent and energy to succeed at any project she took on, from serving on a charity board to renovating her San Francisco home. But underneath a facade of confidence and well-being, she was struggling with addiction to prescription opiates and alcohol. Over time, her husband became an expert at finding hidden pills and liquor bottles-in her shoes, under the mattresses, in the pockets of coats hanging in the back of the closet, even inside containers of rice in the pantry. Her children survived by learning to read her every mood. But their strategies were futile in the face of Wynne's slow descent into illness-a decades-long cycle of hospitalizations, treatments, and relapses that finally came to an abrupt end that spring night in 2015. Both a memoir and a mea culpa, Sedated recounts the unraveling of a life that once was filled with promise, and a family's frantic efforts to prevent the inevitable. This unsentimental remembrance reveals intimate details behind this private tragedy-because we all need to know and share our experiences if we want to come to grips with the heartbreaking and humbling national epidemic of opiate addiction.
