Psychiatric medications gave me brain damage -and i am not alone. Antidepressants can cause severe life altering effects and withdrawal- even when taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor. All psychiatric drugs can cause physical dependence Doctors are not taught how to…

"Can SSRI antidepressants affect the developing fetal brain?" Yes. "Should the public be warned about this?" Yes. "Should a specific patient take an SSRI during pregnancy?" This is a separate question. It requires compassionate care & counseling, & support for patient choices.

An incredible night at the MAHA dinner surrounded by powerful voices and purpose driven leaders united in the fight for truth and meaningful change #maha @MAHAAction @rustyrockets @calleymeans @zenhoneycutt @DrOz

Really important Letter from @Drug_Evidence outlining how to safely taper, including hyperbolic approaches, drawing from the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines approach.

"You halt the drug, you try to withdraw because you want to get pregnant, but you lose your ability to function sexually for the rest of your life—this is Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction." @DrDavidHealy speaking at the @US_FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy on July 21st.

They say SSRIs are “safe and effective.” I say: Try waking up every day in a fog you can’t name or escape. Try losing your identity for years. Try fighting a chemical storm your brain never asked for. Try living through the withdrawal. Try clawing your way out of a…

"We have to take the narrative back, and, you know, we have to realize we're competing against the most funded industry that's ever existed—the pharmaceutical industry." Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring (@taperclinic) talks about the power of social media and offers a message of hope.

Do you know what akathisia is? Most people including our doctors do not know either. instagram.com/p/DMc_eJHxCeK/… Please share,

The foundation of the psychiatric industrial complex is built on lies, manipulation, fraud and systematic deception. Its a house of cards and its crumbling. The voices of harmed patients are being heard. The tidal wave is coming. Be on the right side of history

"I think the PSSD folks—the Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction folks—have brought in more attention to that, the sort of chemical injury that we're seeing." @AdamUrato1, Chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at MetroWest Medical Center, at the @US_FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy.

Today’s panel questioned the narratives we’ve all been sold on known v unknown and risks v benefits of SSRIs in pregnancy but also more generally. Incredible discussion. And I even got my question answered.

Today’s the Day: My Book Crossing Zero is Out! After a decade of clinical work, research, and careful thinking, the English edition of my book "Crossing Zero: The Art and Science of Coming off – and Staying off – Psychiatric Drugs" is finally out today. Available now on Amazon,…

Clips from today's FDA panel discussion on SSRI's for pregnant women. We are fundamentally misleading people about the nature of depression. I asked for transparency. Honesty. We have medicalized all aspects of the human experience to push drugs & the consequences have been…

Exciting things happening- change is coming ! 🇺🇸 #maha

Had an incredible opportunity to visit the FDA and speak with Commissioner @MartyMakary about a critically overlooked issue: how antidepressants—especially when used during pregnancy—can lead to long-term neurological problems in children, including worsening anxiety and…

The number one mistake people make with their mental health is believing it's purely biological. They hear things like, “Some people just need meds,” or “Be kind to yourself—don’t let the stigma get in the way.” And against their better judgment, they end up thinking, “Maybe…

Dr. Mark Horowitz (@markhoro) breaks down why the new JAMA Psychiatry study is dangerous. By ignoring long-term users, researchers give false reassurance about withdrawal risks. People suffer severe symptoms and are told it's in their head. Medical gaslighting institutionally.

Important enough conversation to post the full podcast on X. 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…

Nice analogy by Anders to testing parachutes from 0.8 metres and testing antidepressants after 8-12 weeks.
