Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Immigration, Western Civilization, Psychiatric Drugs, and Green Energy Karen Kataline Continues the Alan Nathan Show in Alan's Memory In this episode of The Alan Nathan Show / Alan Nathan All-Stars, host Karen Kataline opens by acknowledging the untimely passing of Alan Nathan and explaining that the show continues in his memory and honor. She notes that she and Alan had often done Mondays together and says it is an honor to help continue the program during this transitional period for the Main Street Radio Network. Throughout the episode, Karen frames the broadcast as part of a new chapter while preserving the spirit, name, and tradition of the Alan Nathan All-Stars. Immigration, Libertarianism, and Sanctuary Policies Karen's first guest is the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, identified in the transcript as Mark Krikorian or a similar spelling. They discuss immigration enforcement, libertarian arguments for open immigration, and the tension between open borders and a welfare state. Mark argues that libertarians once aligned more closely with conservatives on taxes, regulation, and the size of government, but now often align with the left on questions of sovereignty, borders, and immigration. He cites Milton Friedman's argument that open immigration and a welfare state cannot coexist and says that while social programs can be tightened, the welfare state is not simply going away. Chicago, ICE, and Local Non-Cooperation The discussion then turns to Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois, which Mark describes as sanctuary jurisdictions. He explains that ICE is not asking local police to conduct immigration checks in the street, but to hold criminal suspects who are already arrested and fingerprinted if they are deportable, so ICE can take custody. He argues that sanctuary policies release deportable offenders back into communities and says this especially harms immigrant neighborhoods. Karen and Mark also criticize Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, accusing them of interfering with immigration enforcement and downplaying violence in Chicago. Karen Reflects on Alan Nathan and the Show's Transition After the first interview and intervening ad segments, Karen returns to discuss the show's transition after Alan Nathan's death. She encourages listeners to hear the tribute program that aired over the weekend and recalls clips of Alan and his wife Jane from years earlier, describing their on-air chemistry as entertaining, lively, argumentative, and classic talk radio. Karen says it is a sad time for everyone at Main Street Radio Network, but emphasizes that the Alan Nathan Show and Alan Nathan All-Stars tradition will continue. James Hankins on The Golden Thread and Western Civilization Karen then welcomes James Hankins, described as a Harvard University historian and co-author of The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Hankins explains that the “golden thread” is a metaphor for the Western tradition, and that the book aims to recover the history of Western civilization from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and into the modern world. He argues that this history has not been properly taught in schools or universities for decades, leaving people without a shared understanding of democracy, republics, communism, socialism, and the meaning of Western civic life. Communism, Democratic Socialism, and Historical Amnesia Karen connects the discussion to contemporary politics, warning against Marxism, communism, and democratic socialism. Hankins says many people who call themselves democratic socialists do not understand what the term means or how socialism has operated historically. He argues that adding the word “democratic” does not solve the deeper problem, because socialism has not historically favored democracy. Karen and Hankins agree that many public arguments suffer because people no longer share basic definitions or historical knowledge, especially about the distinction between a republic and a democracy. Dr. Toby Watson on Psychiatric Drugs and Violence Later, Karen interviews clinical psychologist Dr. Toby Watson, who says he has worked on research and testimony related to psychiatric medications, including SSRI antidepressants and black-box warning labels. Watson says his work involves outcome research on psychotropic medications and forensic cases where people with no history of violence commit violent or self-destructive acts after taking medication. Karen asks whether antidepressants and psychiatric medications may be contributing to violence, especially in the wake of Columbine-era discussions. Watson answers strongly that SSRIs can increase suicidal thoughts and behavior and says this is acknowledged in FDA black-box warnings. Akathisia, Political Motives, and Youth Medication Dr. Watson discusses akathisia, describing it as an inner agitation or restlessness that can make people feel as though they want to crawl out of their skin. He says it can occur with SSRIs and is even more common with antipsychotics. Karen asks whether suppression of this information may be about more than money, suggesting possible political motives. Watson agrees that politics can be involved and argues that children in poverty, especially those connected to Medicaid or Medicare systems, are disproportionately medicated at higher doses even when diagnosis and symptom severity are considered. He also references Anatomy of an Epidemic and argues that long-term psychiatric drug use can contribute to disability and general decline. Gender Ideology, Violence Profiles, and Dr. Watson's Cautions Karen and Watson also discuss social contagion, gender ideology, and political violence. Karen asks about the murder of Charlie Kirk and whether the alleged killer was on psychiatric medication. Watson says he has no direct knowledge and is not involved in that investigation, cautioning that too much misinformation is circulating to make a firm claim. However, he says the suspect fits a known profile for certain kinds of shooters and that, statistically, it would not surprise him if psychiatric medication were involved. Karen closes the short segment by inviting Watson back and directing listeners to his work online. Steve Goreham / Gorham on Green Energy and Rising Electricity Prices Karen closes the show with Steve Goreham or Steve Gorham, described as executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. The conversation focuses on rising electricity prices, renewable energy policies, and what Karen calls the “green new scam.” Steve argues that expensive electricity increases are concentrated in blue states that have pursued aggressive green policies, naming California, Maine, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. He contrasts those with states such as Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Missouri, which he says rely more on natural gas or coal and have seen smaller increases. AI, Data Centers, Pipelines, and Energy Reality Steve argues that green-energy policies are running into the reality of rising electricity demand, especially from artificial intelligence and data centers built by companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon. He says AI-related electricity demand requires constant 24-hour power and cannot be reliably supported by wind and solar alone. Karen and Steve also discuss the Keystone pipeline, New York pipeline politics, natural gas constraints in New England, offshore wind leverage, and the role of Trump administration energy policy. Steve closes by directing listeners to his book Green Breakdown and website. Closing the New Chapter of the Alan Nathan All-Stars Karen ends the show by saying the Alan Nathan All-Stars are heading into a new chapter, but with Alan Nathan still serving as the program's guiding star. The episode as a whole blends remembrance of Alan with Karen's political and cultural commentary, moving through immigration enforcement, Western civilization, psychiatric drugs, gender ideology, energy policy, and the future of American public debate.
What if the story we've been told about depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia isn't actually supported by the science?In this eye-opening conversation, JJ sits down with investigative journalist and bestselling author Anatomy of an Epidemic creator Robert Whitaker to explore the origins of the “chemical imbalance” theory, the pharmaceutical influence on psychiatry, and what the research actually says about long-term outcomes with psychiatric medications.Robert shares how his career as a medical journalist led him into uncovering contradictions between the public narrative around mental illness and what researchers inside the field were actually finding. Together, JJ and Robert discuss how emotions, trauma, environment, nervous system responses, childhood conditioning, and meaning-making may play a much bigger role in mental health than we've been taught.This conversation dives into:The origins of the serotonin and dopamine imbalance theoriesWhy the “chemical imbalance” story continued despite lack of evidenceResearch on antidepressants, antipsychotics, ADHD medications, and long-term outcomesThe difference between healing and symptom managementHow labeling people can shape identity and behaviorWhy emotions are part of being human—not necessarily disordersThe connection between trauma, interpretation, core wounds, and emotional sufferingThe importance of teaching emotional processing and nervous system regulationOpen Dialogue therapy and alternative approaches to healingWhy society may be over-medicating normal human emotional experiencesJJ also shares her perspective as an Empowerment Strategist, discussing the role of core wound patterns, subconscious beliefs, emotional suppression, and how people can begin reconnecting with their bodies, emotions, and inner resilience.This episode challenges conventional thinking while opening the door to a broader conversation about healing, humanity, and what it truly means to thrive emotionally.Mentioned in This Episode:Anatomy of an EpidemicNational Institute of Mental HealthMad in AmericaNonviolent CommunicationOpen Dialogue TherapyEMDR & neuroplasticity approachesCore Wound MappingConnect with Robert WhitakerMad in AmericaConnect with JJJJ Flizanes Official Website

Some lies leave scars you can see. Jennifer Miller, a licensed professional counselor with fifteen years of clinical experience, now sits with the detransitioners. The young women coming out the other side of a cultural lie, carrying its permanent mark on their bodies and asking the questions no one prepared them for. What pulled them in? What woke them up? What does the wreckage actually look like once the affirmation stops? And how did an entire culture, an entire profession, march millions of children down this road while calling it care? Jennifer has been watching this story unfold for fifty years, first inside her own family, now inside her therapy office. She left the mental health system in 2020 and has been telling the truth ever since. This episode is about more than gender. It is about how minds get captured, how good people participate in harm, and what human vulnerability looks like when the institutions sworn to protect us become the ones doing the cutting. Listen now.
In this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa digs into America’s mental health crisis in light of the tragic deaths of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and his wife Michele — allegedly involving psychiatric medication struggles. Board-certified psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer, Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring joins Lisa to discuss the risks of psychiatric drug over-prescription, hidden side effects of SSRIs and antipsychotics, the impact on youth and developing brains, withdrawal challenges, and how Big Pharma influences the mental health narrative. If you’re curious about the long-term effects of antidepressants, the limits of current research, and how to approach mental health treatment more safely and effectively — this episode is a must-listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Mauro Zappaterra trained at Harvard Medical School, holds both an MD and a PhD, and spent years in one of the most elite research labs in the world.Then he felt something move through his spine that changed everything. This episode starts with neuroscience and ends somewhere most people aren't used to going. Right now there is a fluid bathing your brain. It pulses with every heartbeat. It clears toxins from your brain while you sleep. It guided the development of every neuron you were born with. Scientists are only beginning to understand what it does. Every major ancient tradition on earth built spiritual practices around activating this exact system. They called it the Crystal Palace. The third eye. The cave of Brahma. They mapped it thousands of years before we had MRI machines to confirm it. Dr. Zappaterra believes this system is the gateway to higher consciousness. We have the ability to activate this... all of us.

Patients around the world have been discovering that the psychiatric drug their doctor or psychiatrist started them on years ago is now hijacking their lives, causing a plethora of unwanted side effects. For instance, antidepressant drugs have many potential damaging effects, including mania, violence, aggression, irritability, apathy, persistent sexual dysfunction, and a suppression of feelings of love. Antipsychotic drugs (now frequently prescribed as “sleep aids” and “antidepressants”) can cause cognitive dysfunction, including disabling “brain fog,” apathy, and physical disabilities, including the permanent movements of Tardive Dyskinesia and other debilitating conditions.

Exploring side effects, brain impairment, and the growing deprescribing movement, this piece highlights Dr. Peter Breggin's work and Jenn Schmitz's journey, encouraging informed, collaborative approaches to safely reduce or discontinue long-term psychiatric medication use...
A document written in 1952. Declassified in 1983. Quietly re-cataloged in 2025 — without a single headline. Dr. Roger McFillin follows that document to where he believes it leads. The destination is not Cold War history. It's your medicine cabinet.Before there were SSRIs, there were research programs. Before the DSM, there were experiments. Dr. McFillin connects dots the mainstream has never connected — using only public records, peer-reviewed data, and 20 years of sitting across from people the system was supposed to help. The trail is longer than you think. And it ends somewhere you won't expect.

What if the symptoms people experience when trying to stop psychiatric medications are not a relapse of mental illness at all, but withdrawal? In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Nicole Lamberson and Lynn Cunningham from the film Medicatinɡ Normal to talk about a hidden reality affecting millions of people: psychiatric drug dependence and withdrawal. What begins as a prescription for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or postpartum struggles can quietly become something much harder to leave behind. Join our Patreon community for ad-free episodes, early access, and bonus conversations with guests. https://www.patreon.com/c/ModernAncestralMamas Nicole and Lynn share their personal stories of being prescribed psychiatric medications, the severe withdrawal symptoms they experienced when trying to stop, and why so many patients discover too late that coming off these drugs can be far more complicated than they were told. They also explain how withdrawal symptoms can mimic mental illness, which often leads doctors to increase medications rather than recognize what is happening. This conversation is not about shaming medication or telling people what choices they should make. It is about informed consent. What should patients actually know before starting psychiatric drugs? Why is tapering off them so difficult for some people? And what questions should families ask before beginning treatment? If you or someone you love has ever been prescribed antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, ADHD drugs, or sleep medications, this episode sheds light on a conversation that is only just beginning to reach the public.
Dr. McFillin was a guest on the popular Health Ranger Report. This is the full interview. He was joined by Tracy Thurman-a person of faith until a cardiologist—not a psychiatrist—put her on Prozac for "energy." Within weeks, her connection to God vanished. She became a materialist atheist for seven years. In this episode, Tracy and Dr. McFillin expose what they call the psychiatric industrial complex's "spiritual weapon of war"—and why these drugs are designed to make you feel dead inside and that experience is measured as "working". A fascinating episode featuring a topic rarely discussed.

Anders Sorensen is a Danish clinical psychologist with a PhD in psychiatry. He's one of the world's leading authorities on psychiatric drug dependence and the complex science of safely discontinuing these medications. His book "Crossing Zero: The Art and Science of Coming Off-and Staying off- Psychiatric drugs" is a seminal book on how to help people break psychiatric drug dependence and restore their inner compass and relationship to emotions. This conversation discusses emotion regulation in great depth and the lost art of how to respond to our inner world of thoughts, memories and emotions. Anders also discusses the future of mental health, his recent experience with psilocybin and how to restore sanity living in a culture in decline.

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.

Dr. Roger McFillin was interviewed by Renaud Beauchard from Tocsin Media—France's leading independent media platform with 30 million monthly views. In this unflinching conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin exposes what he calls a deliberate psychological operation on the American people: a system designed not to heal but to create lifelong customers, sever your connection to God, and make you dependent on medical authority for problems that were never diseases in the first place. The chemical imbalance theory? Born in pharmaceutical marketing rooms, not laboratories. ADHD? A label that stops investigation into the real causes poisoning our children. This isn't incompetence. It's an attack on human consciousness itself. And the first step to freedom is understanding exactly how they did it to you.

As part of a year-long investigation, WSJ's Shalini Ramachandran and Betsy McKay have been reporting on two of the most commonly prescribed psychiatric medications in America: benzodiazepines and antidepressants. These drugs weren't intended for long-term use, but some Americans end up on them for years. Betsy and Shalini spoke to many patients who experienced the downsides. So a basic question popped up: Is America overmedicated?

Army veteran Angie Peacock survived Iraq in 2003, only to become a prisoner of psychiatric torture. Between VA and civilian psychiatrists, she was prescribed 18 psychiatric drugs at once, then cold-turkeyed off benzodiazepines—leaving her unable to walk for 2.5 years and suicidal for three straight years.After losing 20 years to psychiatric "treatment," Angie escaped and has since helped over 1,000 people navigate psychiatric drug withdrawal.

In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Roger McFillin shares the therapy session that shattered his understanding of how healing actually works. Originally written on his substack he feels compelled to share the entire story (with his clients permission). What started as a routine Monday evening appointment with a client overwhelmed, ready to give up and go on psychiatric drugs became the most extraordinary 90 minutes of his career. By the end, he witnessed something that defied all explanation—and then his car did something in the parking lot that made him question reality itself. A powerful lesson in the abilities we all possess but have forgotten.

On this episode of the Tudor Dixon Podcast, Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring pulls back the curtain on the hidden truths behind antidepressants—their rushed approval process, their impact on emotions and relationships, and the potential links to violence. He raises urgent questions about how these drugs are prescribed, especially for young people, and calls for greater accountability and understanding in the medical community.

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

Most people think electroshock therapy was abandoned decades ago. The unfortunate truth is it's still widely used, with well over 100,000 (probably much higher) Americans receiving ECT every year.Yet the devices have never been properly safety tested.In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with Sarah Price Hancock, a certified rehabilitation counselor, educator, and survivor who underwent 116 ECT treatments. Sarah lost 85–90% of her memories from the first 36 years of her life, developed neurological complications, and later learned her original psychiatric symptoms weren't even a mental illness.Life After ECT website 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
Dr. Chris Masterjohn is the host of the Mastering Nutrition Podcast and founder of Mitome, where he helps people optimize their mitochondrial health through advanced analysis. He received his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut, completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois, and served as Assistant Professor at Brooklyn College before choosing to work independently - free from institutional constraints - in science research and education. His groundbreaking SSRI series on his substack hasn't just exposed the truth about these drugs. It's revealed that we've been looking at them completely wrong. Dr. McFillin and Dr. Masterjohn expose how these drugs act as mitochondrial toxins, disrupt cellular energy, and deplete serotonin. They also explore the consequences no one talks about: from prenatal exposure to why so many patients say they feel “dead inside.”Chris Masterjohn, PhD Website 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
In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Dr Joanna Moncrieff about her latest book: A Straight Talking Introduction to Psychiatric Drugs: The Truth About How They Work and How to Come Off Them.Dr Joanna Moncrieff is a practising psychiatrist, part-time academic, and author with a deep interest in the history, philosophy, and politics of psychiatry. Her work focuses particularly on the use, misuse, and misrepresentation of psychiatric drugs.She became interested in drug treatment because of its dominance in contemporary approaches to managing the suffering and disturbances labeled as mental disorders. She recognised that embedded in the understanding of drugs such as ‘antipsychotics' and ‘antidepressants' was an unexamined assumption: that these drugs ‘work' by correcting a hypothetical abnormality or ‘chemical imbalance.' Moncrieff has termed this the ‘disease-centred' model of drug action and has developed an alternative ‘drug-centred' model, which highlights the ways psychiatric drugs alter brain and body function, modify feelings and behaviour, and interact with the difficulties associated with mental disorders.Alongside colleagues from around the world, Moncrieff has worked to expose the misconceptions that arise from the disease-centred model, clarify the effects psychiatric drugs produce, and question the narratives that sustain current prescribing practices.She also emphasises that psychiatry is a profoundly political enterprise, shaped by social and political imperatives to neutralise distress and manage disturbing behaviour. Beyond her work on psychiatric drugs, she is interested in how emotional and behavioural problems might be conceptualised differently, as well as the broader politics of healthcare.
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.

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.

CNN article reporting Eli Lilly Internal Documents"An internal document purportedly from Eli Lilly and Co. made public Monday appears to show that the drug maker had data more than 15 years ago showing that patients on its antidepressant Prozac were far more likely to attempt suicide and show hostility than were patients on other antidepressants and that the company attempted to minimize public awareness of the side effects. 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.

He then turned the gun on his 58-year-old wife in the living room of their house, before placing a call to police alerting them to his crimes.

Anders Sorensen is a Danish clinical psychologist with a PhD in psychiatry who has dedicated his career to an area that most professionals won't touch—and that most patients don't even know exists. He's one of the world's leading authorities on psychiatric drug dependence and the complex science of safely discontinuing these medications. His upcoming book represents years of clinical research and hands-on experience helping hundreds of people navigate what may be one of the most misunderstood medical challenges of our time. This isn't just another podcast about mental health. This is a conversation that could fundamentally change how you understand psychiatric medications, withdrawal, and what's actually happening in the brains and bodies of millions of Americans right now. Dr. McFillin and Anders dive into territory that most medical professionals avoid—not because it's controversial, but because it requires a level of specialized knowledge that simply doesn't exist in mainstream medicine. What you'll hear challenges everything you've been told about these medications, reveals why so many people feel "trapped" on their prescriptions, and exposes a gap in medical care that's affecting countless lives.Substack: https://crossingzero.substack.com/X: https://x.com/_AndersSorensenRADICALLY 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 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
“The more I suffered, the more medical treatments I was convinced I needed, but the more treatments I received, the more I suffered,” writes Laura Delano, author of the memoir UNSHRUNK. At age 14, Laura Delano was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and prescribed mood stabilizers and antidepressants. Despite academic and athletic success, she struggled with rage and despair. Over 14 years, she received multiple diagnoses and 19 medications. But her condition worsened and was deemed “treatment resistant.” Delano chose to stop medications, challenging psychiatric norms and exploring an unmedicated life, and details the results – and her critique of the mental health and pharmaceutical industries – in her memoir Unshrunk, available now at https://amzn.to/3YWgWfg Important: suddenly stopping a psychiatric medication can have harmful side effects. Always consult a trusted health professional before starting or stopping medications. Laura Delano is the author of Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance, a speaker, and consultant. She founded Inner Compass Initiative, a nonprofit helping people navigate psychiatric diagnoses, drugs, and withdrawal. A leading voice in the movement away from medicalized mental health, she supports individuals and families globally with the withdrawal journey and life post-psychiatry.

After losing her husband Woody to medication-induced suicide, Kim Witczak transformed devastating grief into a powerful mission for drug safety reform. As an FDA Consumer Representative, she has spent two decades fearlessly challenging pharmaceutical industry narratives about antidepressant safety. Recorded on the historic day after RFK Jr.'s confirmation as HHS Secretary and the launch of the Make America Healthy Again commission, Kim shares her vision for restoring human resilience in a culture that has prioritized pills over personal power.
