Not quite, no. "Jagged Little Pill" is, first of all, a metaphor, and Szasz is well-known as a master of the metaphorical turn of phrase.
Second, Szasz's ideas are, like a jagged little pill, painful to "swallow" (i.e. accept). To some, the painful truth of Szasz may be perceived to exceed the deleterious consequences of accepting and living with false beliefs that, although superficially comforting, ultimately result in disaster.
Does this make sense to you?
