The cartoonist very good job of bringing this lecture to life and provides an overview of how antidepressants work and the trouble with stopping them, including what we know about the safest way to do so. Link below.

You make important points.

Two questions for you: First, how much do you suspect the efficacy of medications has been overstated due to skewed research funded by pharmaceutical companies?

Secondly, do you think the drugs provide targeted relief for the conditions you listed, or are they a more general emergency treatment that acts as a fail-safe in those acute instances?

[Dr. Bob Beare @DrBobBeare]

After 25 years as a therapist, I’m done with the bullsht.

Psych meds and talk therapy don’t heal trauma.

They're bandaids.

Healing lives in the body.

Transformation requires access to emotion.

Secretary Kennedy was 100% right when he said:
“I know people, including members of my family, who’ve had a much worse time getting off SSRIs than getting off heroin.”

Coming off antidepressants can cause a life-altering — sometimes fatal — neurological injury known as protracted withdrawal, leaving people disabled.

It’s time for the medical system to stop denying this reality.

@LauraDelano Many of us have had similar experiences in adolescence. In other societies, we might've been introduced to a shaman or sent to a monastery to explore more deeply. What could we do differently to ensure these experiences are supported in our society rather than pathologized?

The section that resonates most with me is your experience of "no self" as a teen, and your subsequent obsession with postmodernism. It sounds to me like beginnings of spiritual insight and ego death (a naturally distressing experience) painted as mental illness. What do you think?
