My favorite book was Robert Whitaker's Anatomy of an Epidemic.
The book is about how, for a confluence of reasons, psychotropic drugs like antipsychotics and antidepressants actually, long-term, exacerbate the mental illness they're trying to cure.
What I love about Whitaker is his approach. He doesn't say 'these drugs are bad, footnote 11'. He explains the studies he talks about. He indicts other studies. He's EXACTLY what I look for in an academic paper (he's not an academic, though). Definitely worth a read.
