Heated discussion about this book comes up from time to time. I read it and liked it a lot, yet with some reservations. Perhaps there are some hidden dangers from the SSRIs, yet the statistics show that only Effexor and Paxil have been causing severe withdrawal problems in a significant number of people.
I contacted Glenmullen's message board to state that I wanted to see coverage of the MAOI anti-depressants in the book. He makes no mention of them, as if Parnate and Nardil don't even exist. These great ADs have been around for more than 40 years, so why did Glenmullen fail to mention them? I don't get it.

As for warnings about suicide and irreversible CNS damage, I believe that there are ill-meaning people on both sides of the coin: those who resort to scare-mongering and hard-to-prove assertions, and those who would ram the SSRIs down everybody's throat (like the drug companies).
The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
