“MEDICATION IS AN incredibly attractive concept. Not just for the person with depression, or the person running a pharmaceutical firm, but for society as a whole. It underlines the idea we have hammered into us by the hundred thousand TV ads we have seen that everything can be fixed by consuming things. It fosters a just-shut-up-and-take-the-pill approach, and creates an “us” and “them” divide, where everyone can relax and feel “unreason”—to borrow Michel Foucault’s favorite word—is being safely neutered in a society that demands we be normal even as it drives us insane.”
