Healy, who was the first to draw attention to the now well-publicized suicide-inducing side effects of many anti-depressants, attributes our current state of affairs to three key factors: product rather than process patents on drugs, the classification of certain drugs as prescription-only, and industry-controlled drug trials. These developments have tied the survival of pharmaceutical companies to the development of blockbuster drugs, so that they must overhype benefits and deny real hazards. Healy further explains why these trends have basically ended the possibility of universal health care in the United States and elsewhere around the world. He concludes with suggestions for reform of our currently corrupted evidence-based medical system. 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aMedicine 610 $aaddiction. 610 $aamerican healthcare. 610 $aanti-depressants. 610 $abig pharma. 610 $ablockbuster drugs. 610 $adangers of prescription drugs. 610 $adrug companies. 610 $adrug use. 610 $aevidence based medical system. 610 $aevidence based medicine. 610 $ahealthcare and drugs. 610 $ahealthcare and pharamceuticals. 610 $amedical lit. 610 $amedication side effects. 610 $amedications and safety. 610 $amedicine and healthcare. 610 $amental illness. 610 $apharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. 610 $apharmaceutical companies. 610 $apharmaceuticalization of medicine. 610 $apharmacy books. 610 $aprescription drug safety. 610 $auniversal healthcare. 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 0$aMedicine. 676 $a338.4/76153 700 $aHealy$b David$cMRC Psych.$0136077 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781556703321 996 $aPharmageddon$93788648 997 $aUNINA
