The Experiment: America's Insanity by Design (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578162911)

As a young man, the author began his career as a Commodity Futures Broker on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, full of promise and with a seemingly bright future in front of him.

However, early on his mental health issues forced him to end his tenure as a broker, after a break places him in a psychiatric hospital ward. In the hospital, he begins a lifelong struggle with misdiagnosis by psychiatrists and their use of psychotropic drugs, as they refuse to accept the underlying cause of his problems.

Is the United States Federal Government experimenting on the author? While patients with mental illnesses often believe this, in this case, there is a persuasive argument that points to government involvement.

Intended for mature audience, those readers who have an open mind will find the book compelling.
