This is an intelligent, empirical look at psychiatric practice in the United States. It should be read by anyone concerned about the issue of mental health in America. Dr. Paris, a psychiatrist, is very critical of his own profession. He makes a number of legitimate criticisms of psychiatry. To take just a few examples: there is an overreliance on medication over therapy, the drug companies have too much influence on doctors, and many illnesses such as bipolar disorder are too broadly diagnosed. Paris also blasts the US healthcare system for neglecting mental health issues.
What I like most about the book is its reliance on evidence over theories. Paris rarely makes any unproved assertions and constantly references the scientific literature when discussing mental health issues. Prescriptions for the Mind is one of the best books on the subject of mental health I have ever read. I also appreciate Paris' praise of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), an organization I work for on a volunteer basis.
