Updated with bonus material, including a new foreword and afterword with new research, this New York Times bestseller is essential reading for a time when mental health is constantly in the news.

In this astonishing and startling book, award-winning science and history writer Robert Whitaker investigates a medical mystery: Why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the United States tripled over the past two decades?

Interwoven with Whitaker's groundbreaking analysis of the merits of psychiatric medications are the personal stories of children and adults swept up in this epidemic. As Anatomy of an Epidemic reveals, other societies have begun to alter their use of psychiatric medications and are now reporting much improved outcomes . . . so why can't such change happen here in the United States? Why have the results from these long-term studies--all of which point to the same startling conclusion--been kept from the public?

Our nation has been hit by an epidemic of disabling mental illness, and yet, as Anatomy of an Epidemic reveals, the medical blueprints for curbing that epidemic have already been drawn up.

Praise for Anatomy of an Epidemic

"The timing of Robert Whitaker's Anatomy of an Epidemic, a comprehensive and highly readable history of psychiatry in the United States, couldn't be better."--Salon

"Anatomy of an Epidemic offers some answers, charting controversial ground with mystery-novel pacing."--TIME

"Lucid, pointed and important, Anatomy of an Epidemic should be required reading for anyone considering extended use of psychiatric medicine. Whitaker is at the height of his powers." --Greg Critser, author of Generation Rx

Bosch is a good product in any form
I had used these plugs before in my 03 Honda Element and they performed well for 5 years or more so I considered these for use in my now 07 Honda CRV.

Bosch spark plug are okay... for now.
I'm ususally a Denso Iridium Long-Life or NGK Laser Iridium kind of guy for my Acura or Honda spark plugs. I purchased these on short noticed when I got hit with CEL, grabbed my OBD2 scanner read misfire in all 6 cylinder in my J35a8 (Acura TL Type-S) when I arrived home late that night; I know right, of all places thank goodness. Anyways, I further started to diagnose the car from the least expense before assume the most expensive parts; the spark plugs upon inspection showed they reach it service life. Grabbed my phone in hopes for an overnight prime shipping and encounter these Bosch spark plugs. I installed them the next morning before going to work and all 6 cylinders misfire went away. Sidebar spark plug gap were within factory spec and are somewhat similar to OE. Its been a few week so far still good 👍. For the price it wasn't expensive but I had to order two 4 pack cause the individual spark plug took a few days extra to ship. Gas mileage slightly improve not by a lot, but I'll take it since gas price have gone up. Make sure to properly torque it with either 1/4 or 3/8 torque wrench when I last check they slightly backed out. Since I torque it down to factory recommendation it has stay put since. Will update again in the near future...
