GINA RYAN
About this episode

In today's show, Gina interviews guest Doctor Fred Moss about the harms of psychiatric medication for patients. Psychiatric medications have a tendency to make symptoms worse, fail to treat the causes of patient suffering and can prolong psychiatric illness. Doctor Moss's solution is to establish genuine connection with patients and remove psychiatric medications that so often complicate the recovery process.

Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Fred Moss, a pioneering psychiatrist whose radical approach challenges traditional mental health treatment paradigms. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Moss is the founder of the Welcome to Humanity movement and creator of the True Voice course, aiming to help individuals reconnect with their most authentic selves. Together, we explore the profound importance of human connection in healing and how communication can transform mental health struggles.


Dr. Moss, affectionately known as the "Undoctor," shares his journey of disillusionment with the conventional psychiatric model that often prioritizes diagnoses and medication over genuine human interaction. He recounts a critical turning point in 2006 when he decided to step away from the traditional practices he found misaligned with his core values. Instead of merely categorizing patients and prescribing medications, he sought to create impactful conversations that foster healing. His experiences with thousands of patients convinced him that true recovery stems from connection, not isolation.


We delve into the flawed narrative surrounding psychiatric medications, discussing how they frequently exacerbate the very symptoms they’re meant to alleviate. Dr. Moss emphasizes the need for individuals to recognize that experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges is part of the human experience, rather than indicating a fundamental problem with oneself. By shifting this perspective, he believes people can reclaim their power and approach their mental health from a place of wholeness rather than deficiency.
