I enjoyed this book and think it is a worthwhile read. It is chock full of information about many different mental illnesses and many different psychiatric drugs. Mr. Fitzgerald seems willing to go out on a limb, and some of his ideas are a bit far out, but it is not just the same thing you've read in 100 other mental health books. He covers the history of psychiatry, basic info about the brain, and then a lot of emphasis on neurotransmitters, all in a concise manner. It could be a controversial book and also an important one. Maybe it's another "Listening to Prozac".
