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.

"Toronto Ülikooli professori Edward Shorteri sõnul lükkas Thorazine'i turuletulek 1950. aastatel psühhiaatrias käima revolutsiooni, mille mõju võib võrrelda penitsilliini kasutuselevõtuga üldmeditsiinis („Idealistlik meelerohi“; TT#6, 2.21). Kui see on nii, siis miks on depressioon aina kasvavaks terviseprobleemiks? „Võiks ju arvata, et kui Prozac ja muud teise põlvkonna psühhiaatrilised ravimid on niivõrd tõhusad, peaks abivajajate hulk olema järsult vähenenud,“ arutleb USA meditsiini- ja teadusajakirjanik Robert Whitaker äärmiselt asja- ja ajakohases raamatus „Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America“ (2010) [1]. Tegelikkuses on asi täpselt vastupidine. Psühhofarmakoloogilise revolutsiooni käigus on vaimse tervise probleemide all kannatavate inimeste arvukus sööstnud stratosfääri," kirjutasin ma Tähenduse teejuhtide 34. numbri juhtkirjas "Mõra raudpuuris" [2].Oktoober on vaimse tervise kuu [3].

Kirjanik Indrek Koff lööb kaasa Piip ja Tuut teatris etenduvas lavatükis "Kui Hamlet oleks..." [4]. "Oma lavastuses analüüsime vaimset tervist ja sellega seotud hädasid kasutades teatri, muusika ja sõnakunsti vahendeid. Vaatleme kirjandusklassikast tuntud tegelasi, kes on olnud hädas vaimse tervise probleemidega. Püüame näpu peale saada nende võimalikule diagnoosile ja määrata ravi – haiged tuleb ometi terveks teha! Kui Hamlet oleks suunatud leinateraapiasse või kui Vargamäe Andresele oleks välja kirjutatud depressiooniravimeid, kas siis oleks nende elu olnud igapidi ilus?" võib lugeda näidendi sisututvustusest.Peatse kohtumiseni!H.————————————————————[1] https://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Epidem...[2] https://teejuhid.postimees.ee/7860411...[3] / vaimsetervisesari [4] Hosted on Acast.

U.S. Marines run toward the fire, closing in on the sights and sounds of people under cataclysmic assault in the distance. Today, we interview Patrick Hahn, Ph.D., a journalist who is always running toward the fire.   As an evolutionary biologist, he is naturally drawn to many of the same issues as we are, and so for decades, we have found each other again and again doing our best at some of the same fires from psychiatric drugs and the false genetic theories of “mental illness” to the crushing effect of “scienceless” (a new word I just this moment created) COVID oppressive practices.   Yes, the entire COVID scam was senseless and scienceless except as a gross destruction of humanity's freedom.   We cover these issues today based on his brilliant books and then relate all this to the wanton destruction of humanity being perpetrated by global predators on the world today.   Patric Hahn is unique in his brilliance at summarizing the central issues of our time with eloquence. To this, we feel morally obliged to add that America is on the threshold of destruction at the hands of bizarre, violent, progressive globalists.   All the violent opposition to Donald Trump's presidency ultimately filters down from the most powerful people in the world. These global predators want to turn American First into Destroy America First.   Resources:   Patrick D.

Millions of people are put on psychiatric drugs each year. For some, these drugs are desired and effective, but for many, whether taken willingly or by force, they create multiple harmful side effects, long-term health complications, and are incredibly challenging to taper off of. Users of psychiatric drugs also rarely find professional or even peer support for tapering off due to the stigma and discrimination and a false narrative that implies users must remain on them for life. Chaya Grossberg, psychiatric survivor and ally, has supported people for over 15 years in finding alternatives and maintaining their agency, a role that is much needed. After becoming ill and nearly dying from the multiple psychiatric drugs she was prescribed, she decided to slowly taper off with support from the Freedom Center (a peer support organization) and heal the damage done to her body. Now, an activist, community organizer and writer of her book: “Freedom from Psychiatric Drugs”, Chaya shares her wisdom. In this episode we discuss: what it was like to take 7 different psychiatric medications how to change and reclaim your narrative crisis as a retrieval of life purpose what we want young people to know today how pharmaceutical companies use non-profits and peer organization to perpetuate propaganda why nutrition matters when coming off psych meds case studies of successful tapering off withdrawal symptoms and the false narratives told about them the risk of SI due to being on or coming off psych meds taking a basic needs framework Bio Author Chaya Grossberg discusses her book Freedom from Psychiatric Drugs about what people go through coming off psychiatric drugs and what helps them. Freedom From Psychiatric Drugs is a manual and workbook for psychiatric survivors and their allies, friends and families. Chaya is not a medical practitioner, does not give medical advice, and supports the autonomy of each individual to make their own decisions on when or whether to come off psychiatric drugs. She advocates for increased options, support and safe spaces for people seeking alternatives to psychiatric drugs. website: http://www.chayagrossberg.com Book: Freedom From Psychiatric Drugs: First edition Resources the freedom center - https://www.freedom-center.willhall.net/node/463.html Links Institute for the Development of Human Arts (mental health training institute) - www.IDHA-NYC.org Sessions & Information about the host: ⁠⁠JazmineRussell.com⁠⁠ Disclaimer: The DEPTH Work Podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In the morning show, Joe Hoft stands in for Joe Oltmann as the host and discusses Caitlin Clark's remarkable basketball career and documents suggesting the involvement of Biden's DOJ in the case against Trump. Later, guest Sheila Matthews shares her research on the harmful effects of psychiatric drugs on children, particularly regarding ADHD. Sheila highlights the link between these drugs, mass shooters, and the push to convince young individuals they are transgender. The show concludes with a message emphasizing that these drugs are often unnecessary lifestyle choices rather than essential treatments.

GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Robert Whitaker is the author of five books, three of which delve into the history of psychiatry. In 2010, his work "Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness" received the U.S. Investigative Reporters and Editors book award for best investigative journalism. Before transitioning to writing books, he served as a science reporter at the Albany Times Union newspaper in New York for several years. Whitaker is also the founder of madinamerica.com, a website featuring research news and blogs contributed by an international group of writers focused on "rethinking psychiatry." GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Scott Schara, host of Deprogramming With Grace's Dad, realized he had been programmed to believe a litany of things that weren't true after the medical murder of his daughter Grace. Grace Schara, a beautiful 19 year old with Down syndrome died on October 13, 2021 in a hospital after being given a lethal combination of meds. On the final day of Grace's life, after the doctor proclaimed how well Grace was doing, he unilaterally labeled Grace as DNR before administering a combination of IV sedatives and narcotics over a short timeframe that no one could survive, especially if already in respiratory distress, as Grace was. After extensive research and an investigation into the hospital's COVID protocols and financial incentives, Scott Schara determined that the hospital had decided that Grace Schara was worth more dead than alive to them, noting that the hospital recorded COVID-19 pneumonia “as the second cause of death in order for the hospital to receive the killing bonus from the government.” The tragic experience opened Scott Schara's eyes to reality that so much of what we have been programmed to believe isn't so. His podcast is aimed at helping others deprogram themselves, by opening their eyes and hearts to the truth.

Millions of Americans take psychiatric medication. But sometimes a patient stops abruptly, and this can pose risks.

Swapnil Gupta is an Associate Professor and Medical Director of Ambulatory Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital. She was trained as a psychiatrist in India and the United States, at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Yale University, and PGI Chandigarh in India. She is known for her work on deprescribing from and discontinuation of psychiatric drugs. Dr. Gupta's career began with research on the role of the endocannabinoid system in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia as an academic psychiatrist. Her subsequent scholarship has focused on applying deprescribing, the systematic reduction of unnecessary medications, to psychiatry by rooting it in the principles of recovery-oriented care. She has authored several peer-reviewed papers on deprescribing and co-authored a book with Rebecca Miller and John Cahill. She is an active member of two organizations that aim to enhance stakeholder engagement in psychiatric research. She is also a part of the editorial board of the Community Mental Health Journal. Currently, she is working on creating educational resources to help people discontinue psychiatric medications and gathering information on the knowledge and opinions of psychiatrists regarding the discontinuation of such drugs. In this interview, we discuss deprescribing from psychiatric drugs, the difficult decisions faced by patients, the importance of psychosocial support during withdrawal, and how deprescribing is central to recovery-oriented practices such as shared decision and patient choice. We will also tackle the complex issue of whether the recurrence of symptoms once a drug is tapered is a mark of relapse or withdrawal caused by the psychiatric medication. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Dr Mark Horowitz discusses why psychiatric medication has turned out to be far harder to stop than any one expected. For Mark, this is as much a personal as well as a professional interest. For as a patient, at one point he was taking five different psychiatric drugs. Ironically, although Mark was working in London at the Institute of Psychiatry, he found the mostly useful information about deprescribing came -  not from the medical profession - but from peer support websites. This experience has driven his research and interest in safely stopping psychiatric medication. He, along with Professor David Taylor, has just written a new handbook The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, providing step-by-step instructions on how to effectively stop all commonly used antidepressants, benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids and z-drugs. One of the key findings from this work, is that it is essential to taper off the drugs much more slowly than patients have previously been advised. And perhaps most surprising of all, is  how a small amount of medication can have a completely disproportionate effect. In some cases, a 1mg dose can have nearly half the effect of a 20 mg dose, which means patients may have to taper far more gradually as they move down to smaller and smaller amounts of a drug. A process that may need to take months or even years. The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs (The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines Series) by Mark Horowitz and David Taylor, published by Wiley-Blackwell will be available from 15 February 2024.   The host of the podcast, Liz Tucker is an award winning medical journalist and former BBC producer and director.  You can follow Liz on Twitter at https://twitter.com/lizctucker and read her Substack newsletter about the podcast at https://liztucker.substack.com If you would like to support this podcast you can do so at patreon.com/whatyourgpdoesnttellyou or via PayPal at https://www.patreon.com/WhatYourGPDoesntTellYou

Why scientists are trying to make anemones act like corals, and why it's so hard to make pharmaceuticals for brain diseases   First up on this week's show, coaxing anemones to make rocks. Newsletter Editor Christie Wilcox joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the difficulties of raising coral in the lab and a research group that's instead trying to pin down the process of biomineralization by inserting coral genes into easy-to-maintain anemones.   Next on the show, a look at why therapeutics for both neurodegenerative disease and psychiatric illness are lagging behind other kinds of medicines. Steve Hyman, director of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute, talks with Sarah about some of the stumbling blocks to developing drugs for the brain—including a lack of diverse genome sequences—and what researchers are doing to get things back on track.   Finally, in a sponsored segment from the Science/AAAS Custom Publishing Office, associate editor Jackie Oberst discusses with Thomas Fuchs, dean of artificial intelligence (AI) and human health and professor of computational pathology and computer science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the potential and evolving role of AI in health care. This segment is sponsored by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.   About the Science Podcast   Authors: Christie Wilcox; Sarah Crespi   Episode page: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adm6756

Dr. Roger McFillin joins us for a deep chat about his work fighting for informed consent around SSRI's and other psychiatric drugs and for awareness around the scientific literature that exists but is somehow denied or not talked about.   We talk about latest change in mainstream narrative around the chemical imbalance, depression, Mad In America, metabolisation, clear fraud in some of the trials, chemical castration, placebo trials, blind is broken, and how half of these trials failed. Is there any efficacy at all?   Rogers tells us about his censorship story with YouTube and the virality afterwards, and his synchronistic Billy Joel and diseased father story, and the spiritual reality vs the materialistic dogma in the industry.   In the second half we get deeper into Substack, people waking up, the school system, totalitarian regimes, fighting to keep the family un jab'd, kids and young adults stuck in the system, mood or fear, depression and anxiety, how to help people get off SSRI's, how to be around people suffering with potential side effects, and genetic mismatches.   What happens when a significant percentage of society is chemically castrated by SSRI's? Is this part of the reason for the rash of Transgenderism and gender confusion? If you are numb, no wonder why you might think you don't belong in your body. Why is important to try and do difficult things? Why is watchful waiting and emotions important and what can they teach us? Living genuine and in integrity. We also talk about the mass shootings and our episode with David Carmichael, who is out of jail for killing his son while on SSRI's. Compassion, kindness and responsibility is important but don't' support the victims. What about Stimulants and the epidemic of ADHD, big pharma criminal organizations and what happens to society when we no longer fear living or death?

Are your mental health pills making you feel bad? In this episode of The Evolving Wellness podcast, I am joined by Dr. Rachel Brown and Dr. Sara Pugh to discuss the impact of mental health medications on the body. We live in a world where these types of medications, such as SSRIs, are over-prescribed, and thus too many people experience negative side effects. Oftentimes, these pills are prescribed before a patient is recommended to fix basic pillars of health, such as diet, sleep, and exercise. We explore a few things one can do to improve their mental health naturally and easily before one resort to prescription drugs. We also chat about the dangers of over-supplementing melatonin. When we ingest too much of it, these supplements don't act as supplements anymore but as contraceptives as they start to repress our bodies' natural ability to create melatonin itself. This can cause a lot of damage to our overall health.  Dr. Sara Pugh has a degree in Biochemistry Genetics and a Welcome Trust Ph.D. in Molecular Mechanisms. She studied protein folding, which plays a role in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, antioxidants, and fluorescence. She worked as a postdoctoral researcher on heart muscle cells, cholesterol, and statins. She is published in various peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Rachel Brown works as an NHS Consultant Psychiatrist in Scotland. She qualified in medicine from the University of Edinburgh in 2003 and has worked in psychiatry since 2004. She has a Master's degree in Medical Laws and Ethics from the University of Edinburgh, in addition to being a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner.
