Listening to Prozac – 30 Years Later

Sep 12, 2023


Thirty years after the publication of Listening to Prozac, how have psychiatrists changed their assessment of antidepressants? How has their role in our culture changed? What evidence has been found on the impact on personality traits? Join this Spark Your Health talk with Dr. Peter Kramer, author of Listening to Prozac, and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Gail Saltz, for a conversation delving into the changes in how depression has been and continues to be treated over the past three decades.

The publication of a thirtieth anniversary edition, with a new introduction and afterword by the Peter Kramer MD, gives an occasion to revisit the international bestseller with updated science and assessment of the cultural impact of the book and the uses of Prozac.
