Just a question.

NO! Breggin's book is terrible, a hysterical rant. Percy's concerns
are much better laid out in Love in the Ruins. (This is what Peter
Kramer should have discussed in his book, rather than The Thanatos
Symdrome.)
If anyone is interested in these kind of things (here comes the
shameless self-promotion, so feel free to hit the delete key), John
Lantos and I are editing a book for Duke University Press on Walker
Percy and medicine. My essay in the book is called "Prozac and the
Existential Novel: Two Therapies." It should be out next year, if all
goes as planned.
