Are we all MAD IN AMERICA? with Robert Whitaker, Mad in America Founder and Author
In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with medical journalist Bob Whitaker—founder of Mad in America and author of several groundbreaking books—to expose the unsettling truths behind psychiatric medications. Whitaker reveals how the long-promoted "chemical imbalance" theory was debunked decades ago, yet continues to influence treatment and public perception.
We explore the flawed science, biased drug trials, and how psychiatric medications may actually create the imbalances they claim to fix. Whitaker also shares his journey from mainstream reporter to whistleblower, and we discuss the challenges faced by patients who question their treatment, as well as the therapists supporting them through safe deprescribing.
