92: What we take for granted after 30 years of Prozac
Manage episode 386494117 series 2969153
When Prozac first entered the psychiatry scene in in the late 80s, the profession was still Freud's territory. Meaning: it was considered by many a failure to take medication to cure depression. But that was all about to change, with early stewards like psychiatrist Peter Kramer, who refused to shy away from the new drug's potential. These days, he says that people take for granted all of the progress that's been made with antidepressant treatment. Kramer joins Torie to discuss how the country's relationship with antidepressants has changed since the publication of his book "Listening to Prozac." The conversation is based on his First Opinion, "What antidepressants are saying 30 years after the publication of ‘Listening to Prozac.'"
