I read Whitaker's "Anatomy of an Epidemic" earlier this year. The evidence is so overwhelming and compelling that outcomes are worst for people on psych drugs long term, that I cant imagine anyone arguing with this.

Apart from analyzing outcomes literature in a truly comprehensive way, he includes quotes and admissions from insiders at major institutions about the lack of efficacy and the lack of any real support for the very notion of a known biological origin to mental illness. And so much more in the book just puts Psychiatry in general in an utterly horrible light.

A lot of the published studies that people link to seem to be missing study duration. Thats the first thing I want to know. Otherwise what is the point.
