Dr Terry Lynch had been practising as a GP in Limerick for a number of years when he began to experience serious doubts about the response of the medical profession to emotional disturbance, serious depression and suicide: so called ‘mental’ or psychiatric illnesses. In his own practice he ceased working as a typical GP, devoting a small period of time to a large number of patients every day and decided instead to provide a more holistic service, offering counselling and support to patients, some of whom have been gravely depressed or emotionally disturbed in other ways. In this controversial, deeply felt and hard-hitting book, Terry Lynch takes issue with conventional medical treatment of psychiatric or emotional illness. He questions how doctors diagnose different levels of emotional disturbance and the efficacy - and inherent dangers - of the drug therapies that are offered to many people as a matter of course. Beyond Prozac is illustrated with the most moving and startling case histories that illustrate how emotional pain can he healed without drugs.
