Medicating Normal - 54min - English captions

One in five Americans, along with millions of children, are prescribed psychiatric drugs daily, and often for a lifetime. The award winning documentary film, MEDICATING NORMAL, follows the stories of five high-functioning people whose doctors prescribed pills to help with common problems such as stress, mild depression, insomnia and grief with devastating impact on their lives. This is the untold story of the serious consequences that can occur when profit-driven medicine intersects with human beings in distress.

MEDICATING NORMAL is offered in two different versions, 54 minutes and 76 minutes. The shorter version may be more oriented towards classroom usage in its length, while the longer version expands on the subjects’ narratives and includes a moving scene illustrating how the film’s issues also impact U.S. veterans.
