MISSD is a nonprofit dedicated to saving lives by increasing awareness of akathisia, an adverse drug effect that can cause violence, suicidality & death.
Akathisia is “Like living in a scream.” Lisa Loomer’s gripping new play Side Effects May Include… exposes the hidden crisis of akathisia and the deadly cost of uninformed consent. The bold new play is now running at the world-renowned Contemporary American Theater Festival.…
"A serious play that isn’t afraid to laugh at times, ‘Side Effects May Include…’ is one you definitely want to see." "Most people have likely never heard of the condition known as #Akathisia. The mother in “Side Effects May Include…” at the Contemporary American Theater…
Do you know what akathisia is? Most people including our doctors do not know either. instagram.com/p/DMc_eJHxCeK/… Please share,
Will @US_FDA listen to & act on what real experts said about #SSRIs? @joannamoncrieff: "SSRIs don't work." @DrMcFillin: "It’s an epidemic of iatrogenic harm." @taperclinic: "Update the labels to reflect what the science is showing." @DrDavidHealy: "Doctors defer to the label…
LIVESTREAMING NOW: FDA Expert Panel on Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Pregnancy
When the healthcare system contributes to a tragedy, families deserve truth—not silence. Blaming victims of iatrogenesis for their prescribed demise is morally wrong, perpetuates stigma & causes more medical harm. We support Stephanie & Jake’s Amendment. Reforms to the Coroner’s…
Listen to this episode of Newstalk Daily, Ciara Doherty explores how the death of one young boy who took his own life was recorded, and why his mother Stephanie is calling for a change to the Coroner’s Act of 1962. Stephanie McGill-Lynch lost her 14-year-old son Jake to…
Approximately 5% of pregnant women take an SSRI for depression. But SSRI use during pregnancy has been linked in observational studies to birth defects, miscarriages, and neurological and behavioral challenges in childhood. On Monday, July 21 at 10 a.m. ET, we’ll be hosting an…
Some "people who experienced long-term withdrawal suffered for an average of eight years." It should be very concerningto medical system and the public that there are tens of millions of people walking around on drugs whose long-term exposure and withdrawal effects we do not…
Another powerful video by @Fiddaman highlighting the real-world experiences often left out of the antidepressant conversation. The public deserves a balanced discussion—not just the familiar “works for me” or “saved millions” soundbites.
Antidepressants: Voices Unheard **New Video**
The risk of congenital cardiac malformations has been downplayed to the detriment of mothers-to-be and women who are trying to get pregnant. Many are taking #SSRIs prior to realizing they are pregnant, others are told that there's no risk...
Honored to be a member of this panel. An opportunity to be authentically transparent- research backed information women on SSRI’s have not received. This is about informed consent and medical freedom
It's beyond the pale to think SSRI w/drawal problems impact few people & are short term. This "study" and @DrMcFillin's recent podcast with a Columbia U psychiatrist who was unfamiliar with Maudsley guidelines, is troubling. maudsley-prescribing-guidelines.co.uk
New Scientist includes critique by @markhoro and myself of this flawed study irresponsibly minimising antidepressant withdrawal effects @joannamoncrieff @BeyondPillsAPPG @Institute_PDW @Mad_In_America share.google/VxmgSQlu7vFcVi…
#SSRI w/drawal is real & skyrocketing—yet still downplayed by pharma & prescribers. Reviews like Kalfas’s rely on short-term trials, just like the SSRI clinical trials. These drugs weren’t tested or approved for long-term use—yet many are told to consume them forever “like taking…
The review by Kalfas on antidepressant withdrawal in JAMA Psychiatry will mislead as it is based largely on people who have taken antidepressants for 8-12 weeks in 11 RCTs-this will under-estimate the risks for millions of long-term users. bit.ly/4eFrZzO Thread (1/n)
Medication-induced suicide isn’t only linked to akathisia, psychosis, or delirium. Iatrogenic deaths can also result from enduring adverse effects—like emotional and physical numbness—that strip away a person’s ability to feel, connect, or function in ways they did prior to…
Watch the entire interview of Professor @DrDavidHealy by neuroscientist Nick Jikomes (@trikomes) on episode 232 of the Mind & Matter podcast, titled "SSRIs, Sexual Dysfunction, Suicide & Mass Shootings, How FDA Works". youtube.com/watch?app=desk…
This is a must-listen podcast that adeptly touches on several aspects that fuel the crisis of med-induced harm, including iatrogenic violence and #suicide. From ghostwritten journals and misguided polypharmacy to teens dying after misdiagnosed DSM labels, SSRI prescriptions and…
My thoughts on the debate. The Most Dangerous Liars Are the Ones Who Don't Know They're Lying open.substack.com/pub/drmcfillin…
We support our friends in Ireland. Every country needs an iatrogenic suicide verdict. Akathisia-induced deaths are NOT traditional deaths of despair.
Tomorrow, a crucial Bill will be introduced in the Republic of Ireland’s Parliament - a proposed amendment to the Coroners Act to allow for a new, vital verdict: “iatrogenic suicide” - a term recognising deaths caused by medication-induced harm. Known as “Jake’s Amendment”, this…
Vincent & Yoko, parents of Romain, speak up about their son's prescribed demise in hope that others might be safer and better informed.
youtube.com/watch?v=bJAbIn… Two parents have done something incredibly brave — Vincent and Yoko have stepped forward to share the story of their 16-year-old son, Romain, who lost his life to suicide after being prescribed the SSRI paroxetine (Paxil) for obsessive thoughts. He…
Just as #SouthDakota's Badlands hide sudden drop-offs, #akathisia can strike without warning. Today's new billboards in the Mount Rushmore state reflect MISSD's "50 in 5" initiative. 50 states. 5 years. 1 mission: Raise awareness to save lives. einpresswire.com/article/829561…
