Today's guest is journalist and best-selling author, Robert Whitaker. Robert is the author of the books, "Mad in America" and "Anatomy of an Epidemic", both of which take a critical view of American Psychiatry and call into question our standard story about mental illnesses, their origins, and the medicines we use to treat them. Robert speaks with Zach about the field of psychiatry, as told in his two most popular books, and explains how he reached his conclusions.  Find books and other publications by Robert Whitaker: https://www.madinamerica.com/ * * * * * *  CHECK OUT PRODUCER AARON FERGUSON'S ORIGINAL MUSIC http://soundcloud.com/knowmad1   * * * * * * VISIT OUR NEW "MODES OF EXCHANGE" BLOG SITE http://modesofexchange.org  LEARN ABOUT ZACH'S BOOK WITH STANTON PEELE, OUTGROWING ADDICTION http://outgrowingaddiction.com    Become a Patron  http://patreon.com/thesocialexchange   Visit our audible link--- download a free audio book and support the show! http://audibletrial.com/socialexchange   Listen on iTunes (and leave us a review!) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...    * * * * * *  Thanks to our new patrons - Sherry Chandler - Dee-Dee Stout - Christopher Hanlon  - André Pampel - CARTER Vermont  - Rick Barnett  - Anne M.
