A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry reported that all twenty-two psychiatric drugs approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) between 2012 and 2024 failed to demonstrate meaningful clinical usefulness. The researchers concluded that none met independent criteria for being genuinely helpful to consumers. The findings underscore the need to overhaul psychiatric drug approval standards and investigate how many Americans may have been exposed to unnecessary risk. https://t.co/WNXPNKAbmF

The food pyramid has been flipped upside down.

Whole grains at the bottom.

Ultra processed foods and added sugar removed.
Real food at the top.

From my perspective as a psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer, this shift matters far more than most people realize, especially for mental health.

Laura Delano exposes the psychiatric drug trap:

"These meds cause physical dependence — not addiction, but your brain literally rewires around them. Stop too fast? Withdrawal is hell. Doctors call it 'relapse' and push you back on."

Cold turkey almost destroyed her. Many taper for years to survive.

Have you or someone you know felt "worse" off meds and been told it's just relapse? Your story?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON'T USE CHATGPT FOR SIDE HUSTLES.

Everyone's complaining about money while sitting on a goldmine.
ChatGPT can analyze markets, create products, and find customers for you.

[PSSD Network | Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction @PSSDNetwork]

More people affected by Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (#PSSD) are bravely coming forward to speak about their experiences living with this awful condition, which big pharma continues to ignore.

Please share this video to help make our voices heard.

Elon Musk is tightening the grip on our presence here, shutting doors in the faces of Palestinians and Muslims, while giving space to hateful propaganda.

If you believe in our right to live, to speak, to be seen… just say hello.
A simple “hello” is enough to remind us we’re not alone in this world full of unjust silence.

[Andrew Zywiec, M.D. @AndrewZywiecMD]

I was placed on antidepressants and anxiolytics at 15 years old. It caused profound harm, for many years.

That's part of the reason I became a doctor and a neuroscientist.

Imagine my surprise when layer by layer, I uncovered nothing but madness, psychopathy, and fraud.

Allopathic medicine is FINISHED.

Apple JUST quietly announced something that’s a lot BIGGER than it looks: "the Mini Apps Partner Program"

Apple is admitting that the future of software is embedded, lightweight, vertical mini-apps distributed inside bigger app

For founders who want to make $$ building apps:

1. Apple just legitimized the “superapp” model for the West.

China has WeChat mini-programs. India has PhonePe Switch. The West has… nothing. Apple just opened the door. You can now run HTML/JS mini-apps inside a native host and earn 85% on qualifying purchases. That’s Apple-sanctioned platform piggybacking.

2. Distribution arbitrage becomes real again.

You don’t need to convince users to download your app. Just partner with a host app and drop in a mini-app. This is a cheat code for early traction. Think: travel apps hosting niche tools, fitness apps hosting mini workouts, marketplaces hosting micro-utilities.

3. Apple is creating a new economy layer: “embedded SaaS.”

Imagine: CRM mini-apps inside vertical tools. Math solver mini-apps inside education apps. Calendar mini-apps inside productivity apps. The TAM for tools that don’t need standalone installs just went vertical.

4. Developers get an 85% revenue share.

This is Apple basically saying: “We want this ecosystem to grow, and we’re willing to cut our take rate.” When Apple lowers its cut, I pay attention because they see a platform shift coming.

5. AI makes this 10× more important.

LLM-powered micro-apps (calculators, planners, agents, coaches, niche utilities) are tiny by design. They’re perfect mini-apps. Apple just created infrastructure for AI-native micro utilities to live inside bigger apps with built-in commerce.

6. Host apps become new “distribution landlords.”

If you own an app with traffic, you become a platform. You can host mini-apps, take a cut, and build a developer ecosystem around you.

It’s a new monetization model for existing apps with audiences.

7. This unlocks a wave of second-order opportunities.

- Agencies helping apps become mini-app hosts
- Mini-app dev shops
- “Shopify for mini-apps” toolkits
- Mini-app marketplaces
- Analytics for mini-app performance
- Discovery engines for mini-apps
- I'll be dropping mini app ideas on @ideabrowser and @startupideaspod

TLDR;

Apple just turned every high-traffic app into a potential superapp and every indie developer into a potential platform partner.

The App Store is becoming modular, composable, and layered. The next decade of consumer apps will look less like standalone products and more like ecosystems stitched together with mini-apps.

This is quietly one of the biggest distribution unlocks in years.

I spoke with The Defender about a tragic case: a 12-year-old girl who took her life just three weeks after starting Prozac.

Her mom said it was a “perfect storm” — social media addiction and antidepressants.

SSRIs double the risk of suicidal behavior in kids, yet parents are rarely told this.

[danielle gansky @DanielleGansky]

This is an email from one of the top psychiatrists in the country responding to my mom’s request for help after I was injured by antidepressant withdrawal.

He said my “concerns are a symptom of my illness,” that SSRIs “don’t cause brain damage,” and that withdrawal “resolves in a few weeks.”

This is the gaslighting patients face when they seek help.

@GrantS0227 The Anhedonia can rob a person of their ability to feel pleasure from exercise, for example.

[Talha Khalid @TalhaKhalid]

@GrantS0227 It's not just persistent sexual dysfunction symptoms, as you're well aware. It's the constellation of potential non-sexual symptoms that can be more debilitating, and impact more of a person's life, like Anhedonia, Cognitive Issues, and more.

[Grant @GrantS0227]

I’m not sure I’ll ever understand how so few people are talking about PSSD and PFS in 2025.

15-20% of the US population are taking drugs that can cause persistent sexual dysfunction even after stopping.

And virtually nobody even knows still.

For all my fellow sufferers: I believe you. We can believe eachother 🙏🫂

[Stephen @Stephen761004]

Sometimes it just hits me like a wave of panic that I might never feel romantic love and have a sexual relationship again because of #PSSD. Tonight is one of those times. Please think twice and do your homework before considering ever taking #SSRIs.

[Stephen @Stephen761004]

Getting genital numbness at 23 from just 2 doses of Fluoxetine and tragically not making the link resulted in taking SSRIs again years later that caused #PSSD. The best years of my life and my future have been destroyed. I've effectively been raped by the pHARMaceutical industry.
