"Comfortably Numb"

I am hearing snippets of this show in between running in the backyard with the kids and making lunch. Today on Fresh Air, Charles Barber discusses his book, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry is Medicating a Nation. Find more information here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89882885

I have mixed feelings about medications. I have to agree, though, with Barber's statements about the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy. We have seen many benefits from CBT.
