In episode 124 we continue to focus on a bleak, isolated island where those infected during the black death were brought here and simply left to die. Then on top of that there was the psychiatric hospital which opened in 1922 and rumours of a mad doctor who carried out all manner of inhumane experiments on patients. Today this island is off limits and very few people on earth have stepped foot on in this plague island, but I'm going to be joined by one of those who have as I am joined by an award-winning journalist, turned award-winning author who loves to spend her free time visiting some of the most haunted places on earth, and this location definitely falls into that category.

To donate to my PayPal (thank you): https://paypal.me/danieru22?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Joanna Moncrieff is a psychiatrist, researcher, and author based at University College London. Her work examines the foundations of modern psychiatric practice, especially our assumptions about how psychiatric drugs work and why we use them. For decades, the dominant idea has been the disease-centred model: the view that mental disorders are caused by underlying chemical abnormalities, and medications correct those abnormalities. Moncrieff's research challenges this perspective. Instead, she proposes the drug-centred model, which understands psychiatric drugs as substances that create altered mental and emotional states. She views these as states that may sometimes suppress or shift distress, but do not “fix” an underlying chemical imbalance. She is the author of several books, including The Myth of the Chemical Cure, The Bitterest Pills, A Straight Talking Introduction to Psychiatric Drugs, and her most recent, Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth.

When renovation crews began digging beneath a small ice cream shop in Vienna, they didn't expect to uncover a gruesome secret. What they found unraveled the double life of Estibaliz Carranza, a woman who hid two murders for years. Dubbed The Ice Lady of Austria, Establiz's crimes spun the media into a frenzy, especially when she was represented by the very same man who defended another of Austria's most notorious criminals.

On July 21st 2025, the FDA convened a hearing on maternal use of antidepressants during pregnancy and the impact this use has on fetal development. Around 400,000 children in the United States are born each year whose mothers took antidepressants while pregnant, and so it's easy to see the societal importance of this topic. What are the risks to the fetus, the newborn, and the long-term development of that child? Adam Urato and Joanna Moncrieff were members of that FDA panel, and so too were several others well-known to MIA readers, including David Healy and Joseph Witt-Doerring. The purpose of the panel was to assess whether the FDA needed to put a warning on antidepressants related to their use in pregnancy, and most on the panel spoke of research that told of the need to do so. However, after the panel concluded, the American Psychiatric Association and other medical associations, most notably the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, responded with what can only be described as howls of outrage, issuing press releases and telling the public that the panel was biased and that the real risk during pregnancy was untreated mental illness. These medical organizations asserted that the increased risk of adverse outcomes for children born to depressed mothers is due to the illness and not the drug, and that there was plenty of evidence that antidepressants were a helpful and even life-saving treatment for maternal depression. Here is where we are today. That FDA hearing put two narratives on public display, and most media reports embraced the narrative put forth by the medical organizations. What we will do today is review the evidence that exists on this topic and the response by the medical guilds to a public airing of that evidence. Dr. Adam Urato is Chief of Maternal and Fetal Medicine at the Metro West Medical Center in Framingham, Massachusetts, and he has been speaking and writing about the risk of medications used during pregnancy for years. Dr. Joanna Moncrieff is a UK psychiatrist and researcher who was a co-founder of the Critical Psychiatry Network and is well known for her research on the safety and efficacy of psychiatric drugs. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

For decades, we've been told that depression is caused by a “chemical imbalance” in the brain - something wrong with our serotonin that only a pill can fix. But what if that story was never actually backed by science?In this Healing 101 episode - part one of a two-part conversation - I'm joined by psychiatrist and researcher Joanna Moncrieff, whose groundbreaking work has challenged one of the biggest myths in modern mental health. Together, we explore where the chemical imbalance theory came from, why it was so heavily promoted, and what antidepressants are really doing to our brains.We also look at why so many of us still buy into this idea, the role of the placebo effect, and what it means for anyone currently taking or considering antidepressants.This is an empowering, myth-busting conversation that will help you make more informed choices about your mental health.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Joanna:Website: https://joannamoncrieff.com/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

On this episode, Tudor sits down with Dr. Joanna Moncrieff to challenge the widely accepted narrative surrounding antidepressants. Together, they examine whether depression is truly caused by a serotonin imbalance and uncover the often-overlooked consequences of these medications. The discussion delves into the rising use of antidepressants—especially among teenagers—and the hidden costs, from emotional numbness to sexual dysfunction. They also question the pharmaceutical industry’s influence in shaping public perception and prescribing practices. The Tudor Dixon Podcast is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network.

Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist and academic. She is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London and a member of the Critical Psychiatry Network. She is the author of The Myth of the Chemical Cure and The Bitterest Pills, which are considered central texts in the critical psychiatry movement. Moncrieff is critical of mainstream psychiatry's medical model of mental illness. Professor Moncrief's 2022 paper in molecular psychiatry didn't just make waves, it created a tsunami. Leading a systemic review of five decades of research, she and her team definitively demonstrated what no one had dared to state so clearly that there's no convincing evidence that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance or any chemical imbalance at all. This paper became one of the most widely read scientific papers in modern history, ranking in the top 5 % of all research ever tracked. The world took notice because the world needed to know. Her groundbreaking new book, Chemically Imbalanced, The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth, meticulously documents how an entire medical narrative was constructed without scientific foundation marketed to billions and defended by institutions that should know better.https://joannamoncrieff.com/2022 paper in molecular psychiatry on Serotonin Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth Dr. 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
