    #70 The Antidepressant Lie: What Psychiatry Got Wrong About Depression - Joanna Moncrieff

    https://joannamoncrieff.com/ Psychiatrist Joanna Moncrieff discusses her critical perspective on the use of psychiatric drugs, particularly antidepressants.

Moncrieff emphasizes the need for a more nuanced understanding of depression that goes beyond medication, advocating for addressing underlying social and personal issues. The discussion also touches on the normalization of antidepressant use in society, the challenges of prescribing practices, and the complexities of withdrawing from these medications.
