The FDA held a panel discussion on antidepressants used during pregnancy. I was one of the expert presenters, and what I witnessed should alarm anyone who cares about honest medicine. In this episode, I break down the mainstream media response and what they kept out: SSRIs cross the placenta, change fetal brain development, and there is no proof they work at all- let alone prevent postpartum depression. You'll also hear why this is bigger than one drug class. It's about a system that medicalizes emotions and protects profit over people. If you want the truth the headlines won't give you, start here.

 If you're involved in the wildlife or conservation field in any capacity, whether you are a current or aspiring career professional, someone volunteering their time to make the world better for wildlife, or simply just want to learn more to help out, chances are, you've struggled with the emotional toll that comes with trying to save a species, cope with the climate change crisis, get plastic out of our system, and the list goes on and on…Unfortunately, the nature of the conservation field (no pun intended) is inherently dealing with loss. And without giving ourselves the care and attention that we need, in addition to the Earth, these emotions can evolve into chronic conditions.Anxiety and depression are two such conditions that I have personally struggled with, have learned a lot about over the years, and now have largely overcome (although you'll notice in this episode I've had a lot of ups and downs). Also, I know that I'm not alone.Today I'm talking about my journey going on and now off of anti-depressants because I know many people in the wildlife field are struggling. I read Facebook posts from my friends who are struggling desperately in graduate school, and of course, I remember my own experiences while getting my PhD. Now, aspiring wildlife professionals are expected to work all the time, constantly put in their all, while their personal health and well-being take a backseat.Even major scientific journals like Nature and Science have started to take notice and publish many articles about graduate students struggling with mental health disorders. In addition to the challenges associated with biodiversity loss, those working towards becoming wildlife professionals are suffering due to the increased demands put on them driven by intense competition.This includes more papers to publish, more grant money to bring in, and the pressures of landing a job in this ultra-competitive field. It's tough for people to deal with. Even for entry-level jobs, expectations are much higher than they were just a couple of decades ago.In my decades of being in a wildlife and conservation field professional, I used anti-depressants really at the beginning of my career journey to help me cope. I thought there was something wrong with me that I just couldn't be happy without them. Although they have been a valuable resource for me, in the past few years, I've learned so much about my mind and have developed tools, practices, and more that have allowed me to go off of them completely – something I was told by several doctors that I would not be able to do. For today's podcast episode, I wanted to share this journey with you.Here, I detail my long and ongoing journey of dealing with anxiety and depression, and what I did to support my mental health to the point of no longer needing antidepressants.I recognize the value of antidepressants, and if you're currently on antidepressants, I'm not trying to convince you to go off them; rather, this is an episode about engaging in self-care. I provide you with the tools and mindset work that I've learned over the years. It's been truly effective, and the reason behind how I was able to go completely off my antidepressants.Specifically, I go over:How anxiety and depression are related to wildlife and conservationHow the demands of working in a wildlife career have changed over the yearsWhy focusing on mental health is essential and NEEDS to be a high priority for those in wildlife professions  My personal journey going on and off of antidepressants: why and how I did itMy favorite books for teaching you how to truly love yourself and restructure your self-talkHow a healthy lifestyle and nature are essential tools that boost your mental healthOther mindset tools for dealing with mental health strugglesThe importance of prioritizing your self care and that mental health is healthAnd MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

“I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.” Those words were spoken at one time by David Bowie, and thus are gospel to us here on The Art of Longevity podcast. Fortunately, some bands still live by that same philosophy. For evidence, we revisit the world of Suede. Suede has refused to become boring. Somehow, this band of 40 years have gone the other way - more exciting and visceral than ever. Suede are not hanging about to become their own echo! Albums like Autofiction and now, its immediate follow-up Antidepressants are not just the proverbial ‘return to form' type records. They are nothing short of a reinvention. Mat Osman, co-founder member with Brett Anderson and bass player, shares his views on the new Suede record:“It feels like Autofiction on steroids. If Autofication was a TV show, Antidepressants is the film version. We took everything more widescreen with this record”. However, for Osman - you can forget about that old cliche of a band making music for themselves and hoping the world will agree (that's what Rick Rubin has been telling us with The Creative Act: A Way of Being and to be fair, more than a few artists have told me it works for them. It's not for Suede. Instead, the band's creative mission has been guided by their fans - their reactions at live shows, to the band directly, but also the band's own interpretation of what a Suede audience really wants. “A band without an audience isn't a band. It's a hobby,” Osman declares. That emotional connection is Mat's affirmation - fan tattoos of favourite songs, tears at gigs, and stories about Suede songs at weddings. This fan connection is Suede's compass in the band's 4th career phase. And so we return to a key central theme of longevity; usefulness to people. “As I get older, those moments where someone says, ‘That song helped me,' mean everything,” he reflects. “That's what I'm proud of. There's a community feel [between the band and the fans] that becomes more and more important. It's evident from this ‘Revisited' episode, that Mat Osman and Brett Anderson have a fair degree of telepathy on many things - a shared vision that no doubt has added focus to Suede's current run of creative form. They even agree on the most ironic thing about where Suede has arrived; that they were the least likely band to survive in the first place. “Longevity is not something we strived for, it just happened as a side effect of our bloody mindedness and passion for making music”.They still have it. Season 12 of The Art of Longevity is Powered by Bang & Olufsen.

Not all people who present to their GP with low mood will meet the threshold for clinical depression, given distress or sadness can be a normal, even expected, response to a difficult life event (such as bereavement).In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, the MIMS Learning editors look at how to distinguish distress from more severe forms of depression, and how management of depression depends on the severity. They explore the role of antidepressants and how/when they should be withdrawn. The effect that more severe depression can have on a person's life is also reviewed, including how GPs can sensitively identify if a person with depression is experiencing thoughts of self-harm.You can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning - and make notes for your appraisal. MIMS Learning offers hundreds of hours of CPD for healthcare professionals, along with a handy CPD organiser.After listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to: Understand the NICE recommendations on diagnosing depressionReview the treatment options for depression, and how these differ depending on the severity of depressionDiscuss the latest evidence and advice on withdrawing antidepressantsSensitively assess the risk of self-harm in a person with depressionPlease note: this podcast is presented by medical editors and discusses educational content written or presented by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals on the MIMS Learning website and at live events.THIS PODCAST IS INTENDED FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.

After 38 years as a primary care physician, Dr. Gary Sprouse noticed his stressed patients all knew they wanted less stress, but couldn't tell him where they wanted to be instead. This led him to develop his revolutionary "happy place" framework that's helping people transform their relationship with worry and anxiety. In this week's episode I dive deep into Gary's unique approach: why our greatest human skills create stress as side effects, the universal architecture of happiness, and his game-changing "shoebox method" for managing overwhelm. Gary gives us practical tools to transform worry into planning and build resilience in our anxiety-inducing modern world. As someone working with autoimmune conditions, I see how chronic stress impacts healing and how powerful it is when people learn to build their happy place.For the complete show notes, links and transcripts visit: inspiredliving.show/203

In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Dr. David Healy about how psychotropic drugs and clinical trials have influenced the way we understand mental health and the broader impact these developments have had on society.David Healy, a professor in the Department of Family Medicine in McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, is a doctor, psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, scientist and author. His main areas of research are the contribution of antidepressants to suicide, conflict of interest between pharmaceutical companies and academic medicine, and the history of pharmacology. Healy has written more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, 200 other articles, and 24 books, including The Antidepressant Era, The Creation of Psychopharmacology, The Psychopharmacologists Volumes 1–3, Let Them Eat Prozac, and Mania: A Short History of Bipolar Disorder.He has been involved as an expert witness in homicide and suicide trials involving psychotropic drugs. He has brought concerns about some medications to the attention of drug regulators. He has also said that pharmaceutical companies sell drugs by marketing diseases and co-opting academic opinion-leaders. In his 2012 book Pharmageddon, he argues that pharmaceutical companies have dominated healthcare in America, often with life-threatening results for patients. Healy is a founder and chief executive officer of Data Based Medicine Limited, which aims to make medicines safer through RxISK - Prescription Drug Side Effects an “online direct patient reporting of drug effects” platform.

Does psychiatric medication withdrawal exist — or is it just a myth?For anyone who's lived through it, the question alone can feel insulting.Psychiatric drug withdrawal is real. While the experience varies widely, for many, it's not “brief and mild” as many guidelines state it is. It can be intense, destabilizing, and often misunderstood. One of the most painful challenges is trying to determine whether what you're experiencing is withdrawal or relapse.Unfortunately, current clinical guidelines don't help. They often frame withdrawal as short-lived and minor, dismissing anything more severe as a return of illness. A potentially dangerous oversimplification that can leave patients feeling gaslit or unsupported.In this interview, Dr. Mark Horowitz, a psychiatrist and researcher who's both studied and experienced withdrawal firsthand, unpacks a new JAMA study that exemplifies the problem: guidelines built on inadequate evidence.In this episode, you'll hear:Why current drug withdrawal guidelines fall shortOverview of the new JAMA paper Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation SymptomsThe critical distinction between withdrawal and relapseThe truth about psychiatric drug withdrawalHow to design better research that reflects real-world experiencesWhy this information is often not reaching cliniciansHow we can conduct research that can better inform patient supportDr. Horowitz's story is one of courage and insight. As a clinician, he had no idea how wrong the guidelines were, until he tried coming off medication himself. What he discovered was far more complex than anything he'd been taught.To those navigating psychiatric medication withdrawal — especially in the face of oversimplified headlines and a healthcare system not yet equipped to support you — our hearts go out to you. You deserve care that is informed, compassionate, and grounded in lived experience as well as science. We won't stop until you have this.Expert Featured:Dr. Mark HorowitzX: @markhoroWebsite: https://markhorowitz.org/Resources Mentioned:Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation Symptoms A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysishttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/28362623 Long-Term Psychiatric Medication Studieshttps://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(98)00126-7/abstracthttps://journals.lww.com/intclinpsychopharm/abstract/2002/09000/discontinuation_symptoms__comparison_of_brief.2.aspxhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/interruption-of-selective-serotonin-reuptake-inhibitor-treatment/F0241958CB073C51F366E2AABE636B5DOutro Clinichttps://www.outro.com/The Maudsley Desprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs

A large systematic review has been released looking at antidepressant withdrawal symptoms. The meta-analysis examined the findings of 50 randomised controlled trials, involving 17,828 participants. The average age of the participants was 44, and 70 per cent were female. Health professionals in Australia say the review provides useful insights, and there is room for further research in this area. - एन्टिडिप्रेेसेन्ट औषधीको प्रयोग रोक्दा हुने ‘वीथ्‌ड्रअल' लक्षणहरूलाई लिएर झन्डै १८ मानिसहरू सहभागी भएको एउटा बृहत् प्रणालीगत समीक्षा सार्वजनिक गरिएको छ। अस्ट्रेलियामा कार्यरत स्वास्थ्यकर्मीहरूले उक्त समीक्षालाई उपयोगी बताएता पनि थप अनुसन्धान गरिनुपर्नेमा जोड दिएका छन्।

Summer is in full swing and that means while Dr. Karin and Pastor Elliott are out we are going back in time to Ep. 262 and replay one of our more popular episodes on mental health! We believe this topic is just as relevant today as it was back in 2023. Whether you're hearing this episode again or for the first time we hope it will empower you! We're in the midst of a mental health war. Over the last 50 years, we've raised awareness and developed abundant treatment options, yet Americans' rates of depression and anxiety continue to skyrocket (Whitaker, 2015).Today, Elliott and I discuss my reflections on his recent messages about the epidemics of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and addiction.We conceptualize the current mental health landscape as a war for two reasons:  (1) because so many Americans battle psychological concerns and (2) professionals are in the midst of deeply contentious disputes regarding how to best treat clients' emotional distress.Pharmaceutical corporations and many psychiatrists view this issue through a medical model i.e. patients are diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses and are prescribed pills to manage symptoms. But despite an exponential increase in the use of psychotropic medications, the number of Americans filing disability claims due to mental conditions has tripled over the last two decades (Whitaker, 2015).Elliott and I argue that a “medicalized” framework pathologizes reasonable responses to trauma and pain; this frameworks also disempowers clients—which is both an unintended and unfortunate consequence. Furthermore, and very importantly, most pharmaceutical interventions for psychological conditions simply don't work as promised—if at all (Brogan, 2016, 2019; Whitaker, 2015). Join our conversation to learn the necessary tactics for engaging in this mental health war! Works CitedBrogan, K.

In this explosive and highly anticipated episode, Dr. Roger McFillin hosts Dr. Ragy Girgis, a Columbia University Professor of Psychiatry and researcher, for a no-holds-barred confrontation that exposes the shocking divisions tearing apart the mental health field. What begins as a conversation about mass violence research rapidly explodes into a devastating examination of psychiatric medicine's crumbling foundations, questionable effectiveness, and devastating potential harms. The two clash in fierce, unrelenting disagreements over fundamental issues including the validity of DSM diagnoses, the debunked "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, dangerous SSRI safety cover-ups and black box warnings, corrupted research quality and pharmaceutical industry manipulation, and the catastrophic crisis of psychiatric drug overprescription poisoning 1 in 4-5 Americans. Dr. Girgis desperately defends traditional academic psychiatry and current treatment approaches, while Dr. McFillin ruthlessly dismantles the entire paradigm, arguing that the current system is systematically creating chronic mental illness rather than healing it. Buckle up for this brutal intellectual warfare.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Throughout the interview, Dr. Girgis repeatedly stated that "the data is clear" while dismissing contradictory evidence that challenges his conclusions. For our listeners' benefit, I have compiled research and documentation that directly disputes several of Dr. Girgis's key claims.Serotonin Hypothesis of Depression1. The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence (Moncrieff et al.)Conclusions: "This review suggests that the huge research effort based on the serotonin hypothesis has NOT produced convincing evidence of a biochemical basis to depression. This is consistent with research on many other biological markers . We suggest it is time to acknowledge that the serotonin theory of depression is NOT empirically substantiated."2.What has serotonin to do with depression?Conclusions: "Simple biochemical theories that link low levels of serotonin with depressed mood are no longer tenable."3.

The 1988 document indicated that 3.7 percent of patients attempted suicide while on the blockbuster drug, a rate more than 12 times that cited for any of four other commonly used antidepressants.In addition, the paper said that 1.6 percent of patients reported incidents of hostility -- more than double the rate reported by patients on any of four other commonly used antidepressants."Examples of Violence after Prescription in legal system (Sample)January 24, 2020 – Newcastle, South Dublin, Ireland: Deirdre Morley, 44, smothered and killed her two sons Conor, 9, and Darragh, 7, and her three-year-old daughter Carla McGinley in their family home.

In this gripping episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Katinka Blackford Newman—best-selling author, investigative journalist, and founder of Antidepressantrisks.org. Together, they unpack the pharmaceutical myth of the “chemical imbalance” behind depression and explore how one pill nearly cost Katinka everything. From personal psychosis to global data gaps, Katinka sheds light on the long-term effects, the overlooked risks, and the necessity for informed consent. This isn't a call to abandon medication—it's a call to question the status quo. About the Guest:Katinka Blackford Newman is an award-winning filmmaker, journalist, and author of The Pill That Steals Lives. After a harrowing experience with psychiatric medication, Katinka became an advocate for informed consent and safe mental health care. She founded Antidepressantrisks.org to educate others on the real, often hidden dangers of these medications and now coaches people using non-drug-based emotional resilience strategies. Key Takeaways: The “chemical imbalance” theory of depression has never been scientifically proven. Antidepressants can cause severe reactions in genetically sensitive individuals—including psychosis and suicidality. Withdrawal from long-term use can lead to debilitating effects and protracted neurological damage. Doctors are often unaware of the full risks due to limited training and biased drug trials. Katinka offers practical, non-pharmacological coaching tools that address emotions, beliefs, and behavioral change.   Connect with Katinka Blackford Newman: Life Coaching:www.kbnlifecoaching.co.uk Mental Health Education:www.antidepressantrisks.org Check out her podcast - The Med Free Mental Fitness on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@KatinkaBlackfordNewman   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Psychiatric nurse and Love & Life favorite David Wayne returns to the show today as we continue our series examining drugs that most of us consider completely safe, effective, and harmless. In this conversation, we discuss one of the most commonly prescribed drugs: antidepressants.David witnessed firsthand how these drugs had profound impacts on the health of his patients…Spoiler alert: it wasn't good.More than the negative impacts of these drugs, however, David believes the public has not been informed about the dangerous side effects and at times lifelong impact these drugs can cause.As a result, patients are not being provided proper informed consent.Whether you agree, disagree, or have never heard this side of the position before, we hope this episode will encourage you to think critically and conduct your own research as you start to question the status quo that has infused our cultural for decades regarding these medications.To learn more about David's story, please check out the other Love & Life appearances he has made over the years here:Ep. 298 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4jHUtoWp04Bqw8fjjYjmoR?si=2TCsg4ATTyqrM3uzsNW-gw Ep. 299 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rBQyYgzQ8PJZlkhVG3f1o?si=gQrDg-5VQR6F7804f6ohrQ Ep. 316 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/58PblFM1gvijGfx8DF8Yrp?si=QnzwREsBQqCE8-z84ayg3QEp. 321 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5rOU5CwPeS38aRpgIh1p7D?si=QfKkO9TIRaqFdSbfhEbkwAEp. 324 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3rkQJAXYiyxDSIKzAilSQh?si=wgcOiuQ8TLaTLarLtCjbTw Sponsor:The Wellness CompanyWebsite: ⁠https://www.twc.health/lovelife⁠Code: LOVELIFE for 15% off your order!David WayneWebsite: ⁠https://www.describe.health⁠Instagram: @david.wayne.rnDr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

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.

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
