@iatrogenicaware @AetherFox_ Precisely
“patients seriously harmed by medicines taken '#asprescribed' - then dismissed as troublesome #heartsink patients who display “excessive” responses to distressing, chronic, somatic symptoms with “dysfunctional thoughts, feelings, behaviours.”

No one has ever proven that anxiety is caused by a chemical imbalance.

There is no blood test. No brain scan. And yet this explanation has been handed to millions of people for decades as if it were settled science.

It isn't.

And it matters, because if you believe your brain is simply broken, you will keep waiting for a pill to fix it instead of addressing what is actually driving your anxiety.

Your body. Your mind. Your soul.

That's where the real work happens.

5. The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine, by Jon Jureidini and Leemon B. McHenry
Exposes pharmaceutical corruption and bias in clinical research that inflates benefits and conceals harms, including GSK's infamous paroxetine Study 329. A bigger-picture critique that strengthens critical awareness for those tapering. 6/

Telling someone to “just lower the dose” when they’re reacting badly to a medication is like telling someone with a peanut allergy to just eat fewer peanuts. That’s not how it works for everyone.

New on @Mad_In_America: @justinkarterphd spoke with @AE_Yamin about human rights, psychiatry, coercion, and why so much distress gets treated as an individual medical problem instead of a political one.
