Prevention is Primary
Good idea, poor execution. There are indeed cases in which people were negatively influenced by psychiatric drugs to the extent they became psychotic, violent/homicidal or suicidal and it's important to acknowledge these and dig into why precisely their brains reacted to the medication the way they did.
On the other hand, there are very many cases in which antidepressants/SSRI's have greatly helped individuals recover from depression, suicidal ideation, grief and more. Particularly in combination with some form of therapy and/or adding spirituality to the mix if so desired by the patient.
There is no one size fits all approach with medication or therapy, and to state that is grossly negligent and dangerous.
The author's insistence that medication in general is "the devil" comes across as extremely paranoid and alarmist.
Additionally he is unbearably blasé about needing to point out on every second to third page that HE ALONE had warned the entire medical community and world about the catastrophe that psychotropic drugs, antibiotics et al would cause worldwide for many years before anyone else "caught on." That's not only starkly exaggerated but also seems uncomfortably narcissistic to me, which is another reason I cannot take this book 100% serious.
