These essays provide the groundwork for a philosophical discussion of the ethical and cultural dimensions of the popularity of SSRI antidepressants. They do not question that these drugs can alleviate suffering. What they do question is the popularity of these drugs and that popularity's relationship to American culture and ideas of selfhood.
