CAUTION: If you are taking antidepressants or any other psychiatric medication, do not stop or adjust your dosage without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional. Coming off these medications without proper guidance can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. Always seek professional advice before making changes to your treatment.   Did you know that nearly one in five UK adults - and almost one in four women - are currently taking antidepressants? Yet according to my guest this week, the fundamental theory behind these prescriptions may be built on remarkably shaky ground. Joanna Moncrieff is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, consultant psychiatrist for the NHS, and the author of the groundbreaking book, Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth. In our thought-provoking conversation, Joanna explains how the widely accepted belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance or serotonin deficiency has little scientific evidence to support it. This theory, which became popularised in the 1990s through pharmaceutical industry marketing, has fundamentally changed how we view our emotions and mental health. Joanna and I discuss: Why the difference between antidepressants and placebos in clinical trials is just two points on a 54-point depression scale - a remarkably small difference that may not be clinically significant How the diagnosis of depression itself is subjective and based on criteria that Joanna describes as "completely made up", rather than objective biological markers The concerning side effects of SSRIs that are often underreported - including emotional numbness, sexual dysfunction that can persist even after stopping medication, and in some cases, an increase in suicidal thoughts How pharmaceutical marketing campaigns in the 1990s fundamentally changed our cultural understanding of depression from a natural human response to life circumstances to a "chemical imbalance" requiring medication Why withdrawal from antidepressants can be extremely challenging, particularly at lower doses, and why reducing medication requires careful, gradual reduction that many doctors aren't trained to manage Whether visiting your GP should be your first option when experiencing low mood, and how alternatives like exercise, mindfulness and addressing underlying life issues might be more effective Throughout the episode, Joanna encourages us to view our emotional responses as meaningful signals rather than medical disorders that need chemical correction. She believes we've been disempowering people by teaching them that negative emotions represent a deficiency rather than a natural human experience that can guide us toward necessary changes in our lives. This conversation isn't about telling anyone what to do with their current medication, but rather providing information to make truly informed decisions. If you or someone you know has ever taken antidepressants or been diagnosed with depression, this episode offers a perspective that could fundamentally change how you view mental health treatment in the future.

Today, we're speaking to Dr Cini Bhanu, GP and Academic Clinical Lecturer in the Primary Care and Population Health Department at University College London. Title of paper: Antidepressants and risk of postural hypotension: a self-controlled case series study in UK primary careAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0429Antidepressants are associated with postural hypotension (PH). This is not widely recognised in general practice, where antihypertensives are considered the worst culprits. The present study examined >21 000 older adults and found a striking increased risk of PH with use of all antidepressants (over a four- fold risk with SSRIs) in the first 28 days of initiation. TranscriptThis transcript was generated using AI and has not been reviewed for accuracy. Please be aware it may contain errors or omissions.Speaker A00:00:00.480 - 00:00:56.990Hello and welcome to BJGP Interviews. My name is Nada Khan and I'm one of the associate editors of the bjgp. Thanks for listening to this podcast today.In today's episode, we're speaking to Dr. Cini Banu, who is a GP in an academic clinical lecturer based in the Department of Primary Care and Population Health at University College London.We're here to talk about her recent paper in the BJGP titled Antidepressants and Risk of Postural Hypertension, A Self Controlled Case Series Study in UK Primary Care. So, hi Cinny, it's really nice to meet you today.I guess this is an interesting area to cover, especially as the prescribing rates for some antidepressant medications are increasing.But I don't know what your feeling is, but I'm not sure if many GPs would actually know that antidepressants are associated with poison postural hypertension. So, yeah, talk us through that.Speaker B00:00:57.310 - 00:01:18.350Yeah, so I think that's one of the reasons this study is so important.So definitely from conversations that I've had with gps that I work with and it's not commonly recognized that postural hypotension is associated with antidepressants, though it is by geriatricians, for example, where it's very.Speaker A00:01:18.350 - 00:01:41.850Well recognized and in this study used a big database to look at the risk of new postural hypertension associated with the use of antidepressants in people aged over 60.I guess there's quite a lot of in depth stuff in the methods, but I guess just for a summary for people who are interested in what you did, do you mind just sort of going over it at sort of like a high level?Speaker B00:01:41.850 - 00:02:54.200Yeah, yeah. So we looked at a big database, what we call a routine primary care database called imrd.And essentially this captures data from software that gps use like EMIS and Vision System and captures a whole load of information like problems, symptoms and prescriptions. So we went into this database and identified everyone over the age of 60 that might be eligible during our study period.And for this we looked at people that were contributing at least one full year of data between 2010 and 2018. And then within that we identified people with a first diagnosis of postural hypotension.And then again we made subgroups according to people who had this diagnosis but also had a first prescription of a new antidepressant during that time.And what we were interested in, and the methodology is called a self controlled case series, we weren't interested in who got postural Hypotension, because everyone was a case, but rather...

Story at-a-glance Long-term antidepressant use significantly increases the risk of sudden cardiac death, with risk doubling after six or more years of use according to Danish research Younger adults face an even higher risk, with those aged 30 to 39 showing five times greater likelihood of sudden cardiac death after six years on antidepressants Antidepressants disrupt heart rhythm by affecting ion channels, triggering fatal irregular heartbeat Research shows antidepressants only benefit about 15% of patients beyond placebo effect, primarily those with severe depression rather than general low mood Effective alternatives for managing depression include exercise, sunlight exposure, gut health optimization and techniques for nervous system regulation

Dr. Casey Grover breaks down psychiatric medications and their role in addiction treatment, explaining how different medications work, when they're most appropriate, and which ones to avoid. He provides a practical overview based on his extensive experience treating patients with substance use disorders.• Psychiatric medications get developed through research on brain receptors and undergo rigorous testing before FDA approval• Medications often have "off-label" uses that weren't originally intended but provide benefits in certain situations• Antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs serve as the foundation for treating depression in people with addiction• Using non-addictive options like hydroxyzine, clonidine, and buspirone is crucial when treating anxiety in recovery• Trazodone and mirtazapine are preferred for sleep issues over benzodiazepines and "Z-drugs" that can create dependence• ADHD treatment requires careful consideration when patients have stimulant use disorder histories• Benzodiazepines should be avoided when possible as they paradoxically worsen anxiety over time• Medication selection should consider urgency of conditions, past medication responses, and potential side effects• Some psychiatric conditions may improve with therapy allowing medication reduction, while others require long-term treatmentThank you for taking the time to learn about addiction. It's a fight we cannot win without awareness and action. There's still so much we can do to improve how addiction is treated. Together we can make it happen. Remember, treating addiction saves lives.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Chances are you, or someone you know, took an antidepressant this morning. One in seven Australians are on the medication, and for many it's lifesaving. But are we staying on antidepressants for too long? Is there a right time to stop? And what should we know about withdrawal symptoms? 

It’s that time of the month (sorry), and we’re welcoming back Dr Louise Newson to talk all things hormones. In case you missed it, last time we had Dr Louise on the pod, she shared her expertise on perimenopause and menopause. This, to no surprise, was Apple Australia's most shared podcast episode in 2024. Today, Dr Louise talks to the guys about hormones; what they are, how they impact our lives, and what the difference is between the natural and synthetic forms we can be prescribed. Discussing the naturally occurring cycles of hormones, as well as the dramatic hormone drop offs that can happen throughout a lifetime, Dr Louise shares the impact of hormones for PMS, PMDD and post-natal depression. Dr Louise, this has been life changing. If you would like to watch this full video on YouTube, follow this link: https://youtu.be/l4naB7-GKto

 A tragedy made it more terrible by how preventable it was. It is urgent that this story be told and widely shared, given the tidal wave of depression and anxiety disorders that has washed over the United States in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among young people. That tidal wave, combined with the overprescribing of powerful brain-altering medications and the widespread lack of awareness about the potentially lethal side effects of these drugs, is a prescription for disaster.This is a heartbreaking story of filicide, the potential risks of powerful antidepressants, and unforgiving justice with respect to crimes involving mental illness.He is the author of "Medication, Mental Illness, and Murder: What Really Killed the Crespi Twins." https://www.amazon.com/Medication-Mental-Illness-Murder-Really/dp/1538199297http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

“I want other people to know that, like, there's nothing wrong with you.

Professor Jon Jureidini is a child psychiatrist who leads the Critical and Ethical Mental Health research group at Adelaide University in Australia. His forensic deconstruction of industry-sponsored clinical trials has exposed how pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, employ ghostwriters, and cultivate academic figureheads to create an illusion of scientific consensus around their products. Prof. Jureidini has revealed how medications prescribed to our most vulnerable populations—children and adolescents—gained approval based on studies that were fundamentally misrepresented in the scientific literature. In his groundbreaking book, 'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research,' co-authored with Leemon McHenry, he systematically demonstrates how commercial interests have hijacked the evidence base that clinicians rely on, compromising patient care in the process. His work raises profound questions about the integrity of published research and challenges us to reconsider the foundations of modern medicine. Jureidini reveals shocking findings about the landmark 'Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS) study that's been used to justify prescribing antidepressants to teenagers—despite evidence showing a five-fold increase in suicidal events. With nearly 20% of adolescent girls now taking SSRIs, this conversation exposes the profit-driven deception that puts millions of developing brains at risk while pharmaceutical companies continue to thrive on what Jureidini calls "the illusion of evidence-based medicineChapters00:00 Introduction to the Crisis in Psychiatry02:20 The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine04:34 The TADS Study: A Closer Look10:47 Evaluating the TADS Study's Findings14:22 The Ethics of Informed Consent26:28 Risks and Alternatives in Treatment32:59 The Controversy of Antidepressant Prescriptions35:46 Ethical Concerns in Pharmaceutical Practices40:29 The Impact of Clinical Trials on Drug Approval47:08 Challenges in Psychiatric Research and Publication50:29 Restoring Trust in Scientific Integrity58:20 A Shift Towards Social Determinants of Mental Health RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Mexico's first fatal H5N1 case involved a healthy child and highlights localized risk despite low global concern. Long-term antidepressant use was linked to higher sudden cardiac death risk, especially in younger adults. A U.S. study found 25% of adults with very high LDL cholesterol lacked statin treatment. These stories reveal persistent gaps in infection control, cardiac monitoring, and preventive care.

Wait! your dental implant failed... because of an antidepressant? This is what nobody tells you about SSRIs, and honestly, it's terrifying. Antidepressants like Lexapro, Prozac, and Zoloft are more common than ever—but they come with side effects your patients and your team might not be ready for. In this episode, we dig into the surprising ways these meds impact the mouth, including: Why clenching and facial pain could be linked to SSRIs The real reason some patients bleed more during procedures A hidden connection between antidepressants and implant failure A smarter way to talk to patients about what they're really taking Why dental assistants often hear things no one else does—and what to do about it If you're doing extractions, implants, or any kind of surgery, this info is a must. Plus, there's a reminder for any dental assistant who might be struggling themselves: you're not alone, and help is out there.

Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist, author and researcher who is a prominent and controversial voice in the research of depression. Her 2002 study ‘The Serotonin Theory of Depression: A Systematic Umbrella Review of the Evidence' concluded that there was no link between serotonin and depression, debunking the mainstream medical belief in antidepressants. Moncrieff, whose research has drawn criticism from ‘Big pharma' and support from fringe figures on the right, speaks to Krishnan Guru-Murthy in the latest episode of Ways to Change the World. Produced by Silvia Maresca, Ka Yee Mak and Tom Gordon-Martin.  

Story at-a-glance A large study found that individuals with dementia who took antidepressants lost cognitive function at nearly twice the expected rate compared to non-users Dementia patients on higher doses of antidepressants experienced faster mental decline, increased hospitalization rates, fractures and even higher mortality risks than those on lower doses A separate meta-analysis found that individuals taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) had a 75% greater chance of developing dementia, and those on tricyclic antidepressants had double the risk Research suggests that, compared to women, men taking antidepressants are at an even higher risk of developing dementia earlier and at a more rapid pace Antidepressants alter neurotransmitter balance, interfere with your brain's ability to remove toxic proteins, and accelerate brain cell damage, leading to memory loss and cognitive impairment

What if antidepressants aren't the answer, but the cause of your struggles?

“Fifteen or 16 percent of the population [is] now taking antidepressants … When they've gone out and asked people who actually use these medications whether they're experiencing sexual dysfunction, approximately 60 percent of people will [affirm] it.”Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring is a board certified psychiatrist, former FDA medical officer, and director of the Taper Clinic. He treats patients suffering from post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), and protracted withdrawal—two conditions becoming more common, and in some cases permanent, in people who have stopped taking antidepressants.“SSRIs and antidepressants are really popular drugs. Some people just don't want to believe that they could potentially cause something so catastrophic,” he says. “We should only be using these medications after we've done everything else.”In this episode, we discuss how patients can safely discontinue psychiatric medications and regain control of their mental health, and why there needs to be more awareness about conditions that arise after people stop taking their drugs.“What I saw going through all of that ... as a drug safety officer ... was essentially that we really were practicing outside of what the psychiatric clinical trials and the evidence showed,” says Witt-Doerring. “Doctors have been led astray about the drugs to the point where they overestimate the benefits and minimize the harm.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
