Disparities in Psychiatric Care

Junior Drug Awareness
Depression is one of the most widely diagnosed disorders worldwide. Since the antidepressant drug Prozac was introduced as a treatment for depression in 1987, more than 54 million people around the world have tried it, and millions more have tried other antidepressants.

Prozac and Other Antidepressants examines antidepressant therapies available today and how they affect the body and minds of people who are treated with them.
