In reply to Peter Breggin in NYT anyone read?, posted by Phillipa on July 11, 2011, at 19:54:17
I wonder if anyone else has mixed feelings about Breggin, as I do. On the one hand, he says what few in his field are willing to say - certain treatments in psychiatry are overused and often the patients are never made aware of how they work or the severe, potentially permanent side effects they can cause. On the other hand, I do wonder if he's scared some people away from treatment who really do need it. Interesting guy, although I didn't find a recent NYT article with him in it. Phillipa, have you read any of his stuff? Anyway, have a good day all.
