Thoughts on Record: Podcast of the Ottawa Institute of Cognitive Behavioural TherapyMr. Robert Whitaker: Anatomy of an EpidemicComments or feedback? Send us a text!

Importantly, pharmacologically inducted alterations in the functioning of core neurochemical systems may have important implications for the maintenance of symptoms and long-term outcomes. Author & journalist, Mr. Robert Whitaker jo...
