Press Release Body = Atlanta, GA/October 18, 2006 - "Prescription For Madness"
(Morgan James Publishing, 2006, ISBN 1-933596-04-X) by Joy Hancock is a gripping and
compelling true story of the dangers of prescription anti-depressant and
anti-psychotic medications. The book is the story of the horrendous and terrifying
ordeal of her son, Christopher and the upside down ordeal that her family went
through after he was diagnosed with a mental illness and his doctors prescribe
anti-depressant medications. "Prescription For Madness" is a warning for all, of
how so many in today's world, are falling victim to corporate greed, doctor
negligence, and a breech of public trust.

"Pharmaceutical companies and doctors act as if anti-depressant medications are the
simple solution to so many problems and ills," said Hancock. "What they don't tell
you is that a prescription for these drugs is a prescription for pain, heartache,
and madness. In "Prescription For Madness" it is my desire that reader comes away
with a clear understanding of the dangers that these drugs hold. I hope
"Prescription For Madness" and my family's suffering will at the least prevent
others from suffering as we did."

"Prescription For Madness" is the real story of Hancock's son, Christopher who at
age sixteen was diagnosed with a mental illness. Doctors convinced the family that
there was an easy cure for Christopher - prescription anti-depressants. Yet rather
than improving, Christopher became ill with violent rages and became suicidal, all
the while taking the drugs prescribed for him. Like any non-medical person, the
Hancocks believed the doctors' diagnosis and their recommended cures. Christopher
became so out of control that he was committed to a psychiatric hospital. Yet, this
only half of the story. The causes for Christopher's worsening condition will shock
and anger anyone reading the book. It is a cautionary tale that is happening far to
often in America.

"It is my fervent prayer that what happened to Christopher never happens to another
person again," said Hancock. "If just one family is spared the pain that we
suffered because of "Prescription For Madness", I will consider that I have
accomplished something."
