Eat some real food today. Take some exercise, even a brisk walk. An ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure.
Every 18 year old should be taken on a field trip to family court to sit in on divorce hearings so they know exactly what happens to the 50% of men that go through the divorce machine.
What if we approached every meal with the same reverence as medicine?
People who choose to be kind everyday despite of not receiving the same kindness back, what motivates you ?
-Serotonin plays a crucial role in fetal development & SSRIs disrupt the serotonin system. -SSRI use in pregnancy has been associated with miscarriage, birth defects, preterm birth, postpartum hemorrhage, NICU admission, & other issues. -SSRIs alter fetal brain development, with…
There is no overall evidence that SSRIs are unsafe during pregnancy, and in fact SSRIs can be lifesaving for pregnant women with mood & anxiety disorders. That's a key point of a letter APA sent today to U.S. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, expressing its alarm over some of…
Any system that requires only short-term company-funded trials to prove benefit, but demands catastrophic, undeniable harm-plus political pressure and smoking-gun evidence of corporate wrongdoing-to acknowledge risk, is a system built to harm people at scale...
What are we waiting for before we warn the public? @AdamUrato1
"After a long battle that finally succeeded in getting the UK’s medical policymakers to acknowledge these risks, pharma-funded researchers are endangering patient safety by minimising the incidence and severity of withdrawal." #antidepressants LINK: madinamerica.com/2025/07/grossl…
Remember the 2024 Henssler review claiming only 1 in 6 have antidepressant withdrawal symptoms & 1 in 30 severe symptoms? Here we show it was based on highly unreliable data & can't be used to estimate withdrawal effects 1/n @JohnRead @markhoro @JDaviesPhD cambridge.org/core/journals/…
"this book rejects the caricature of modern psychiatry, offering instead a dedicated, humanistic, and common–sense approach." Essential Psychopathology & Its Treatment, 5th Ed M. Kilgus & N. Badre Pre-order now
Well there’s an old saying about walking and chewing gum at the same time… Personally I am disappointed in HHS at present, but this team is still pretty new and imo HHS has been terrible for decades. Just look at the state of the public’s health. RFK attracted followers…
I don’t disagree with you. But unfortunately willingness to name the problems (food quality, autism, chronic illness) is already progress from where we were just a short time ago. Of course, that’s not enough, and what is done about these things post-naming matters in the…
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
There are very serious ethical problems with the way some aspects of medicine are conducted - psychiatry in particular. It was only a matter of time until those faced serious challenge, as is right.
A common psychiatric outcome: not happier, just quieter.
Food absolutely is a primary driver of health. This was obvious even to the ancients. Of course the details of the implementation of a movement like MAHA matter... if you screw around on the margins, little impact.
Things a high dose antipsychotic (Zyprexa, 5 - 20 mg) destroyed for me in ~1 year: mood, motivation, sleep pattern, metabolism, joint health, control over my movement, relationships. By any reasonable criteria, this is a poisonous substance for a physiology like mine.
The Age of Deference is Over: It's just no one told psychiatry The medical profession is facing a challenge it doesn’t yet understand: people are no longer waiting to be granted a voice-they’re taking one. Most of you will have seen the firestorm online over the new…
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…
