As a nurse in an inpatient psychiatric, this book is a large part of what opened my eyes to the travesty of the system's current prescribing practices, the layers of corruption, and the incredible harms being done.
Whitaker is a legend in my eyes. I have the utmost respect for the man.
Let's not forget that DIET plays a HUGE part in these 'mental' illnesses ... Especially GUT health.
Big agree. Also trauma, lack of exercise, lack of nature, lack of healthy relationships. It’s almost as if filling your body with garbage, severing our interactions with the natural world, surrounding ourselves with assholes, and bearing huge traumatic burdens has an effect on our mental health?!
Sarcasm aside, I feel it is criminal for psychiatrists to push all the obvious baseline factors aside and push harmful drugs. What ever happened to do no harm? I am so tired of the western medical model of treating symptoms. It is willful ignorance to not be curious of the real cause.
And 90% of our serotonin is in our gut!
And paradoxically SSRI's and other psychiatric drugs can be responsible for destroying gut health.
@@wildlightarts Yep
Bob Whitaker has helped save so many lives. He's a godsend.
I read that book years ago when I was diagnosed with bipolar-2. Great book. I was eventually declared non-compliant because I flat refused to take lithium or anything for mania (which I didn't really have much) & lowered my doses of other meds because the side effects were literally k!lling me. Thankfully I'm off of all Pharma now & just use medical cannabis which controls my symptoms better & without side effects
I hate how we are even blamed for having all these adverse reactions- as if it was our own fault! ...being accused of not wating to get better while this stuff can make it so much worse... and then finally being labeled as an addict if you get physically dependent on stuff like Lyrica and Klonopin after 6 weeks of everyday use.
This is all not really any better than Lobotomy
Non-compliant people have the best long-term outcomes. Go figure! I am a "non-compliant" schizophrenic who has been symptom free for 8 years and free of meds for 5 years. What a joke of a profession. Being formally labeled as non-compliant has got to be the greatest compliment we can receive.
Activated charcoal can be be good for panic attacks. Important not to drink it 2 hours before or after medication. Drink plenty of water, eat ground flax or a Tablespoon of Olive oil if you tend to get çonstipated. Sad but THC Marijuana can cause Toxic Hunger Cannabinoid (THC)
Causing a person to eat Junk food. Some people also suffer with Canabiniod Hyper Emesis Syndrome because they are allergic or have over used. Too much Marijuana can caused a person to be paranoid
Ha ya, I was just listening to Robert Whittaker talk about schizophrenia when compared medicated to unmedicated. The best solution the researched showed was exercise and no meds.@@drewott8162
Anatomy of An Epidemic should be required reading for psychiatry residents.
I read his book and it was eye opening. I was able to get off Lexapro and I’ll never take any drug like that again. I’m learning to deal with anxiety and depression as normal occurrences due to life situations. I work through the feelings and they resolve. I feel much better about myself.
Thank you for your videos... I agree 100% with Robert Whitaker.
I just ordered the book. I am tapering off of Valium. 34 years of 30 mg. each day. Was given for trigeminal neuralgia .
All the best to you on your taper. Prayers for strength through your journey to freedom on the other side!
When unknown variables far outweigh known constants using medication becomes pseudo science that makes bad circumstances infinity worse. The vast majority have a common denominator - overwhelming inordinate stress or trauma - now add Dr induced addiction without informed consent results in countless lives permanently ruined. It's the wrong approach. Kudos to you Dr Josef
Robert Whitaker is THE GOAT
The goat
Whitaker is a hero. As a pharmacist his book helped me so much as I was waking up to my own injuries from a benzo.
Thank you for your honesty
Yep most people discover it too late unfortunately !
Yes, this was my case too. I try to widespread the message of this book though, it may help to save other lives.
Thank you so much for this great vid! This is all so true! This was what my last 15 years were like! There was no psych med that ever really helped me. In fact many even had highly paradoxical Effects on me. Is it because I am Autistic and not neurotypical?
Could you make a video about paradoxical reactions and how often they happen and why they might happen?
Yes Please. I am interested in Neurodivergence and Paradoxical Effects as Well!
Could you invite Dr. Whitaker for an interview?
Dr Josef interviewed him 7 months ago....type in you tube search: " how psychiatry lost it's way"
Great interview!
He's absolutely correct because that's exactly what happened to me
I would also suggest Cracked by James Davies (which exposes the reality of psychotropic medication marketing and approval, the methods of creating the dsm and making everything a disorder for profit etc)
I’ve now been in the field over 25 years and have seen the quality of care decline dramatically in that time,
I’ve started to describe it to people as an illusion of competence so to speak
- create a scale that indicates a “disorder” and viola you need a medication to fix your disorder, and it has to be true because a competent clinician diagnosed me - no, most prescribers are just going by a checklist out of the dsm
God bless you and all the psychiatrists, Drs & whistle blowers for bringing awareness to the damaging effects of psych meds. Thank you so much! 🙏♥️🙏
So many of us feel trapped. It is impossible to navigate thru years of mecications when the doors are closed for getting started.
Thank God for Robert Whitaker.
Have ordered this last week 😊
Do a video about Cabergoline. I've been taking it everyday for about 16 years. I tried to take my own life after I took Risperdal and I feel like Cabergoline gave me my life back. I took Risperdal for about a month and it messed me up so bad I didn't want to live anymore. Cabergoline saved my life. There is not enough talk about the benefits of Cabergoline and how it might help some people.
Commenting so everyone knows I was here for Dr. Josef's channel at the beginning 😎
Could you also make a vid about adverse effects like akasthisia that may be lingering for a very long time (like many months) even if the offending drug has been stopped after just a few days of taking it. (Like only for 10 days) and why this may happen to some of us.
....This happened to me on low dose paxil that was given to me for minor Panic attacks that just came while and after methylphenidate rebound (when the effect of methylphenidate wore off -so a medication induced problem not my nature!)
He has many.
@@tmtb80 I mean a short educational vid you can show to somebody as a sum up.
So True.
i agree
To me, it felt like common sense that if Ritalin is prescribed for daily use, but speed (Amphetamine) is illegal to possess, then the issue is not with the drug, but with the way it's prescribed. I mean, kids on amphetamines daily? Who would do that? It makes no sense.
I agree , the quick fix culture of the modern world . Perhaps the only exceptions are people who at risk of major harm or death in the short term . I have a neighbour who has been a great example- does nothing- in in the national disability support scheme, morbidly obese . Spaced out on heavy psych drugs . But for people with mental health problems other treatments have to be available. I think opioid replacement therapy is different btw.
Where can we find the entire interview?
nuts to think that using the marketing invention box ticking list called the phq9 you can get labelled with MDD after just two weeks.
I was labelled it in 2 minutes 1 visit.
Are there any studies done on the effects of long-term use of antidepressants ? I was put on them for anxiety control and I was not depressed. I was for the most part joyful ,just lots of panic attacks. The doctors said I had a chemical imbalance and so I needed these drugs to deal with this flaw. I was on them for decades and came off 4 years ago. I think my brain has changed. I can't seem to be happy like I was before. I am scared. It's like the drugs forced the messenger systems in my brain to keep working and working, artificially producing feel good chemicals. Now these systems are worn out and just don't function anymore. That's what it feels like. Do you or anyone else know if they cause this kind of injury to the brain? I can't find answers. Drs. just roll their eyes when I tell them what I think . Can you PLEASE do a presentation on this topic? Has anyone else ever mentioned this to you? I tapered off them for a year so I don't think I the damage was caused by that. I would be so grateful if you could talk about this. Thank you.
I was on ssri for 4 years, horrible addiction, depression is mostly environment and circumstance and the result of drug use. Are you doing positive things? Exercise, nature, go with with friend to the lake on a nice day? Your brain isn't burning out. If it was you wouldn't exist, you literally cannot survive and feel without serotonin. This is why ssri' cause depression, the brain goes uh-oh I have to much, I need to change myself and re-balance. How does it do that? By introducing depression to offset the extra serotonin. This is why ssri's work for anxiety, a depressed brain is a brain that lacks feeling, anxiety is a feeling.
If you want to feel well, you need to do things that make you feel well and love yourself.
If you were on them for decades, a yearly taper was probably too quick? These drugs literally cause brain damage and can take years to heal...everyone is different. The feelings of terror and panic are absolutely normal, although I understand how terrifying they are. It's simply time? I know..easier said than done, but you re brain needs to heal. Have you tried fasting? I ve heard excellent results on this and the carnivore diet....which may not appeal to many. But its about what you need to do. Cold water baths( ice cold) are also evidently excellent for healing. Also meditation for the feelings.Look I get it...when you re in the thick of it...u don't even want to move. But just do it bit by bit, day by day..and you ll be moving in the right direction. Best of luck.
This.
This is a great subject!
BUT! Prozac made me feel amazing, but always wears off.
