Presents essays on psychotropic drugs and mass culture, which contend that society has been transformed into a wall-less asylum - a "psychotropia." With each definition of a mental ailment, a different cure is offered, increasing the number of inmates in this borderless asylum and blurring the lines between mental health and mental illness.
