In this groundbreaking episode, we dive into Bruce Levine’s explosive new article, “Scientific Misconduct and Fraud: The Final Nail in Psychiatry’s Antidepressant Coffin,” published on CounterPunch in January 2024. Levine’s critique reveals the troubling misuse of data in the STAR*D study, exposing how antidepressant efficacy has been overstated and distorted in mainstream psychiatric research. We unpack the controversial truth about SSRIs and SNRIs, discussing their real impacts on mental health, from Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) to severe withdrawal symptoms that often go unreported.
Listeners will gain insight into:
This episode is essential listening for anyone questioning the conventional narrative on antidepressant use, SSRI/SNRI effectiveness, and the ethical failings in modern psychiatry. Levine’s article serves as both a wake-up call and a call to action, urging for greater transparency, honesty, and ethical responsibility in psychiatric care. Empower yourself with knowledge, challenge the status quo, and reclaim your path to healing by tuning in.
