“Americans take a lot of pharmaceuticals to control their moods, their emotions, their state of mind. And women take a lot more than men. One in four American women, now on some kind of psychiatric medication. You know the names from the ads all over TV: Cymbalta, Zoloft, Abilify, more. My guest today, psychiatrist Julie Holland, says that flood of drugs is shutting down natural emotions that women need. Numbing women in a way that’s bad for many of them, and bad for society. This hour On Point: a cry against medicating women’s feelings.”
