Listening to Prozac: The Landmark Book About Antidepressants and the Remaking of the Self by Peter D. Kramer is a seminal work in psychiatry and psychology. The author explores how Prozac and similar antidepressants influence mood, behavior, and the perception of personal identity. He goes beyond their therapeutic effects to examine the ethical, social, and philosophical implications of altering personality through medication. Combining case studies with scientific research, Kramer raises profound questions about the relationship between brain chemistry and the sense of self.
