The Antidepressant Era
by David Healy

Antidepressants treat a range of nonspecific symptoms along a
continuum.
The author traces the history of antidepressants, which, along with
antibiotics and antihypertensives, created a
therapeutic revolution after World War II. Concepts of illness and
disease are discussed, from Hippocrates to the creation of the FDA. An
interesting point: In 1804, 90 patent medicines were listed; by 1857,
the
list had grown to 1500, doubling in number approximately every 13
years.
(Had the rate stayed the same, by the end of 2008 we would have more
than
four million pharmaceuticals.)
