Meaning of Medications: David Cohen

Why does the same psychiatric drug help one person – but harm another? Do psychiatric medications “work” by chemistry alone – or through expectation, placebo, and social factors? What is the difference between prescribed medications and mind altering substances like alcohol? David Cohen, social work professor at Florida International University and co-author of Your Drug May Be Your Problem, discusses the role of social context in constructing how we experience psychiatric medications. http://www.criticalthinkrx.org http://bit.ly/15tSAXH http://rscphsw.fiu.edu/social_work/faculty_cohen.htmlThe post Meaning of Medications: David Cohen first appeared on Madness Radio.
