520    "Do antidepressants actually work, or are they just 
       glorified dummy pills? How can we tell one way or the 
       other?In Ordinarily Well, the celebrated psychiatrist and 
       author Peter D. Kramer addresses the growing mistrust of 
       antidepressants among the medical establishment and the 
       broader public by taking the long view. He charts the 
       history of the drugs' development and the research that 
       tests their worth, from the Swiss psychiatrist Roland 
       Kuhn's pioneering midcentury discovery of imipramine's 
       antidepressant properties to recent controversial studies 
       suggesting that medications like Prozac and Paxil may be 
       no better than placebos in alleviating symptoms. He 
       unpacks the complex "inside baseball" of psychiatry--
       statistics--and reveals the fascinating ways that clinical
       studies and their results can be combined, manipulated, 
       and skewed toward a desired conclusion. All the while, 
       Kramer never loses sight of the patients themselves. He 
       writes with deep empathy about his own clinical encounters
       over the decades as he weighed treatments, analyzed trial 
       results, and considered the idiosyncrasies each case 
       presented. As Kramer sees it, we must respect human 
       complexity and the value of psychotherapy without denying 
       the truth--that depression is a serious and destructive 
       illness that demands the most effective treatment 
       available"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    Examines the effectiveness of antidepressants to address a
       growing mistrust of their use by the medical establishment
       and the public, discussing their shortcomings and benefits
       while calling for greater awareness about the seriousness 
       of depression.
