In this eye-opening episode of Healthy & Awake Podcast, Dr. David Healy, a renowned psychiatrist and author of Pharmageddon, exposes how the pharmaceutical industry manipulates doctors and controls medical research. We discuss the hidden dangers of SSRIs, including the increased risk of suicide and homicide, the prevalence of ghostwritten studies, and the influence of Big Pharma on FDA regulations. Dr. Healy explains why adverse drug effects are often dismissed and how the medical propaganda machine has eroded trust between doctors and patients. We also explore the rise of ketamine and psychedelics in Depression treatment and the impact of post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD). Don’t miss this critical discussion on why informed consent is crucial and how to navigate the medical system’s shortcomings.
