Prozac is the most prescribed antidepressant drug in America. FRONTLINE travels to the prozac capital of the world, Wenatchee, Washington, and talks to the ‘Pied Piper of Prozac,’ Dr. Jim Goodwin, a clinical psychologist who says Prozac is ‘probably less toxic than salt’ and has had it prescribed for all his seven hundred patients.
