But what if the story we've been told about them is incomplete… or even dangerously misleading?This week, IMA President Dr. Joseph Varon is joined by IMA Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Paul Marik and special guest Laura Delano, author of Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance, for a raw and revealing discussion on the hidden harms of SSRIs. Drawing from her personal journey through—and out of—the psychiatric system, Laura sheds light on the dangers of overdiagnosis, the suppression of emotional suffering, and the pharmaceutical narratives that continue to shape mental health care.As RFK Jr. and other public health voices begin to question the influence of psychiatric medications, this timely conversation examines identity, informed consent, youth mental health, and whether psychiatry needs reform—or a total rethink.

Sign up here: https://imahealth.org/weekly-webinars/Learn more: https://imahealth.org/doctors-against-pesticide-liability-protection/The same playbook that shielded vaccine manufacturers from accountability is now being deployed across America's state legislatures—this time to protect pesticide companies from liability. As courageous physicians like IMA Senior Fellow Dr. Brooke Miller and longtime advocate Dr. Meryl Nass sound the alarm, a coordinated industry campaign is quietly advancing legislation that would make EPA-approved labels the final word on pesticide safety, effectively blocking Americans from seeking justice when harmed by these chemicals.Join Dr. Ryan Cole as he hosts this critical conversation exploring the disturbing parallels between vaccine and pesticide liability protections. With several states having already passed or considered these "liability shield" laws, and similar legislation advancing across the country, time is running short to expose this corporate power grab. While Bayer faces billions in Roundup settlements and tens of thousands of pending lawsuits, will Americans lose their fundamental right to hold manufacturers accountable for toxic exposures?
