In his second book, Peter C. Gøtzsche focuses on the issues in psychiatric treatment, where the profit motives of doctors and the pharmaceutical industry are prioritized over the well-being of patients. Through well-founded scientific research and studies, he uncovers a web of misdiagnoses, corruption, and lies. He investigates widespread false claims such as: - Mental illnesses are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. - Treatments with psychotropic drugs do not lead to addiction. - Antidepressants protect patients from suicide. This affects not only a few mentally ill individuals who are treated in hospitals but also a large segment of the population, whose acute mental lows are often prematurely labeled as chronic conditions.
