Replacing God with Prozac
In this lecture, Tod Chambers will look at some of religious responses that have arisen with the rise of the class of psychiatric drugs collectively known as SSRIs. In particular, some religious faiths have become concerned that one of the unanticipated side effects of these medications is that they seem to relieve spiritual angst as well as the symptoms of OCD and depression.
