I listened to NPR's Fresh air. They had a half hour special on the history of psychiatry and how it evolved to sell drugs for mental illness. They didn't go over anything schizophrenic related really, but how the pharmacutical companies boomed with the advent of SSRI"S, specifically Prozac. Also, because lithium is an element, they couldn't get a patent on it. Also, how now pharmaceutical companies are trying to steer away from drugs because there really hasn't been a really new class of drugs out for quite sometime and everything is becoming generic, which they can't make money off of. I have a hard time believing in that last bit. Also, the woman being intereviewed studied the history of psychiatry which was interesting, and also how powerful the placebo effect is.
