“Overmedication” is a book category focused on the overuse and misuse of prescription and over‑the‑counter drugs, and the broader medicalization of everyday life. Titles in this genre examine polypharmacy, overtreatment, diagnostic inflation, pharmaceutical marketing, and the systemic incentives that drive excessive prescribing, from mental health and chronic pain to antibiotic overuse across ages—from children to older adults. The category blends investigative journalism, policy analysis, clinician perspectives, and patient memoirs, often highlighting risks like side effects, dependency, and drug interactions, as well as the social, ethical, and economic forces behind them. Many works also explore solutions, including deprescribing, shared decision‑making, nonpharmacological therapies, and reforms in healthcare practice and regulation. Overall, these books aim to inform and empower readers to critically engage with medication use and the systems that shape it.
