SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Learn about how antidepressant drugs work and why they have become so popular. Drugs are everywhere--on our streets, in our homes, and in our schools--but straight facts about drugs are not. Drugs: The Straight Facts fills this void with candid discussions that emphasize a historical and scientific approach to learning about drugs.
