A compelling and troubling exploration of a generation raised on
antidepressants, and a book that combines expansive interviews with
substantive research-based reporting, Coming of Age on Zoloft is a
vitally important and immediately engrossing study of one of America's
most pressing and omnipresent issues: our growing reliance on
prescription drugs. Katherine Sharpe, the former editor of Seed
magazine's ScienceBlogs.com, addresses the questions that millions of
young men and women are struggling with. "Where does my personality end
and my prescription begin?" "Do I have a disease?" "Can I get better on
my own?" Combining stout scientific acumen with first-person experience
gained through her own struggle with antidepressants, Sharpe leads the
reader through a complex subject, a guide towards a clearer future for
all.
