Welcome to Happy Valley-1.m4v

Part 1 of 4 of PBS Frontline episode from June 6, 1995, about Prozac. Centers around clinical psychologist, Jim Goodwin, who at the time had diagnosed all 700+ clients of his with depression and recommended Prozac and his particular brand of psychotherapy in a small town in Washington state. After taking his crusade on many of the national talk shows, he became known in the media as the "Pied Piper of Prozac" and drew the attention of many critics including psychiatrist Peter Breggin, who appears in this documentary. Other appearances by psychiatrist Peter Kramer, author of bestselling "Listening to Prozac," psychologist Stephen Suomi, and Susanna Kaysen, author of "Girl, Interupted," as well as many others, are included in this incredibly excellent, creative, and even-handed episode of Frontline.
