Peter Breggin M.D. talks about adverse drug effects and effective therapy for depression.

Information "Dual diagnosis medication" Disease mongering is the practice of widening the diagnostic boundaries of illnesses, and promoting public awareness of such, in order to expand the markets for those who sell and deliver treatments, which may include pharmaceutical companies, physicians, and other professional or consumer organizations.

I love how this man speaks. He is so calm and wonderful and he is absolutely totally right.

[glamhaze]

This dude looks like the trainer from Rocky and he even talks like him.

But I must say he is so so right, we are always looking for a quick bandage and never really solve the problem, only temporary.

What a wonderful man.  Thanks.

"Dr. Peter Breggin Conscience Of Psychiatry" anagram-ciphers to "Find secret China-GP/DoD2 core by creepy string".

I've learned Dr. Briggins is the ONLY man I'll listen to when it comes to these issues simply because he TELLS THE TRUTH!!!

[LindaKay1948]

One thing Dr. Breggin doesn't mention is that there are quite a number of people complaining about having sexual dysfunction years after taking and discontinuing SSRIs. Some of them are very young and were given these drugs before puberty. Some report feeling sexless due to genital anesthesia and say they want to die. I wonder if this may be at least a PART of the reason for the black box warnings on risk of suicide in people who have been put on antidepressants.

I don't know why people try to knock Breggin the guy is trying to save there lifes.

[onesimplevoice]

Dr. Breggins professional life would have been much easier if he had just gone with the program and benefitted from the kickbacks psychiatrists receive from the pharma industry. Instead he made the choice to leave this world with a clean conscience and try to help people get to the source of their problems. Not suppress symptoms with drugs which actually creates more emotional and then physical damage as well. Our loss.

@onesimplevoice, agreed! Pharmaceutical companies don't want guys like Breggin being a voice of reason and influence - it's bad for their profits. The chemical imbalance hypothesis masquerading as fact (correlative but not causative) is a dangerous lie, with destructive consequences for human life.

[dianeticstu]

Thank you Breggin

[perlirut]
