It's Seeking Sunday!
Ben here, today author, journalist and House Expert P.E. Moskowitz joins Hesse and I to talk about their new book, Breaking Awake: A Reporter's Search For A New Life, and A New World Through Drugs.
We discuss how the popular belief that depression is nothing more than a "chemical imbalance" benefits the pharmaceutical industry while driving social alienation, list our favorite and least favorite drugs, and talk about how the internet has changed perceptions of treating mental illness. Then we take a peek at a handful of sinister anti-depressant advertisements. Along with one ad aimed at those of us with active bladders.
