More Americans than ever before are being diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and treated with psychiatric medications. So wouldn't you expect to see improved mental health?

Dr. Minot reviews the promises of this biological era of psychiatry, the findings of the study, the response of America's psychiatric leadership--and draws his own conclusions.
