    Stanford psychiatrist and Medical Director Anna Lembke joins Nick Fortino on the 49th episode of the Psychology Is Podcast for an important conversation about a profound problem in our culture: many doctors, and especially psychiatrists, have become drug dealers. A health care system thoroughly contaminated by financial interests, a disempowering and erroneous cultural paradigm about the nature of mental health, and addictive drugs masqueraded as medication are just some of the factors that have given rise to a horrible disaster that is harming so many people. The complete overhaul of the mental health care system is inevitable, but the longer it takes, the more people will be harmed and misled. The profession will not change itself, despite influential people at prestigious institutions speaking out. The change will come when the populace is sufficiently educated. This conversation attempts to serve this purpose, to educate. We also talk about the role of dopamine in the brain, and how to wisely engage in dopamine-releasing behaviors. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/psychology-is/support

He also describes the big picture, bringing to light the many elements that constitute the modern day mental health so-called care. In sum, psychiatry is scientifically empty.
