About This Item
Harmondsworth UK: Penguin Books, 1994. Good. Kramer, a practicing psychiatrist, finds that the antidepressant Prozac is a powerful drug that lifts the veil of depression from most patients withou t significant side effects. While he unquestionably supports the use of med ication to alleviate illness, he questions using drugs to make a person fee l "better than well." It is the remarkable ability of Prozac to create pers onality changes that he finds disturbing. Is it ethical to prescribe a drug that increases a person's self-confidence, resilience, and energy level wi thout any ill effect, when there is no underlying manifestation of illness? What is the essence of personhood and what are the philosophical implicati ons of using drugs to alter personality? Both Kramer's unequivocal endorsem ent of Prozac for the treatment of depression and the questions he raises a bout the use of drugs for mood alteration are controversial.
