520    This edited volume provides an answer to a rising public 
       health concern: what drives the over prescription of 
       psychiatric medication epidemic? Over 15% of the UK public
       takes a psychiatric medication on any given day, and the 
       numbers are only set to increase. Placing this figure 
       alongside the emerging clinical and scientific data 
       revealing their poor outcomes and the harms these 
       medications often cause, their commercial success cannot 
       be explained by their therapeutic efficacy. Chapters from 
       an interdisciplinary team of global experts in critical 
       psychopharmacology rigorously examine how pharmaceutical 
       sponsorship and marketing, diagnostic inflation, the 
       manipulation and burying of negative clinical trials, lax 
       medication regulation, and neoliberal public health 
       policies have all been implicated in ever-rising psycho-
       pharmaceutical consumption. This volume will ignite a long
       -overdue public debate. It will be of interest to 
       professionals in the field of mental health and 
       researchers ranging from sociology of health, to medical 
       anthropology and the political economy of health.
