520 8  Annotation By the millennium Americans were spending more 
       than 12 billion dollars yearly on antidepressant 
       medications. Currently, millions of people in the U.S. 
       routinely use these pills. Are these miracle drugs, 
       quickly curing depression? Or is their popularity a sign 
       that we now inappropriately redefine normal life problems 
       as diseases? Are they prescribed too often or too seldom? 
       How do they affect self-images?David Karp approaches these
       questions from the inside, having suffered from clinical 
       depression for most of his adult life. In this book he 
       explores the relationship between pills and personhood by 
       listening to a group of experts who rarely get the chance 
       to speak on the matter--those who are taking the 
       medications. Their voices, extracted from interviews Karp 
       conducted, color the pages with their experiences and 
       reactions--humor, gratitude, frustration, hope, and 
       puzzlement. Here, the patients themselves articulate their
       impressions of what drugs do to them and for them. They 
       reflect on difficult issues, such as the process of 
       becoming committed to medication, quandaries about 
       personal authenticity, and relations with family and 
       friends. The stories are honest and vivid, from a 
       distraught teenager who shuns antidepressants while 
       regularly using street drugs to a woman who still yearns 
       for a spiritual solution to depression even after telling 
       intimates "I'm on Prozac and it's saving me." The book 
       provides unflinching portraits of people attempting to 
       make sense of a process far more complex and mysterious 
       than doctors or pharmaceutical companies generally admit.
