Thank you for sharing this detailed piece on the recent research debunking a theory that was never proven. As a dentist, we review medical histories and a large portion of my patients are on these awful drugs! So, so sad to be awake to the pharmaceutical lies in a town that has nearly 100% bought into the lie.

As a classically trained dentist, I can relate to Dr. Horowitz as it pertains to fluoride. Not an apples to apples comparison but I never questioned the safety of fluoridated water until my eyes were opened to lies of our alphabet agencies and the pharmaceutical industry. Curious if you’ve traveled down the fluoride rabbit hole?

Thanks for sharing this! I look forward to diving deeper...so many truths people have been sharing are finally rising to the top and being acknowledged by those of us who were blind to see it before. I am grateful for your work!

We in Qld. can thank former premier Anna Bligh for mandating fluoride in our water.

I'm so glad to be on tank water! Water fluoridation is an abomination on both health and civil liberties grounds.

Very well done, Robyn (as usual)! I think the parallel you point out between the fraud behind psychiatric drugs and the manmade pandemic is particularly appropriate. I’m among many who before Covid always trusted physicians both to know what they were doing and to have patients’ best interests at heart. I know better now. I now know that many (probably most) physicians simply parrot what corrupt government bureaucrats or hospital administrators decree and/or have sold out to Big Pharma. Few bother to think for themselves, and too many have lost the ability to think critically. Of course, there are exceptions, and those who dared to actually treat patients and/or to speak out about the fraudulent pandemic have paid a heavy price. Regarding psychiatric drugs, I’ve read several of Dr Breggin’s books. He has been a trailblazer in this area, fighting the Big Pharma drug cartel for decades. He refers to drugs like Prozac as “brain disabling” drugs, which is a perfect description.

I know of many people who have completely lost their trust in the medical profession. They have paid a high price for their complicity in the COVID fraud. If they had stood up en masse at the beginning of this debacle, and insisted that the doctor-patient relationship must be preserved, their ability to treat patients must not be constrained by government diktats, and that informed consent had to be given before any procedure, many lives would have been saved and freedoms preserved.

Makes sense. I feel sorry for the many many people who are taking these drugs on the belief they are helping them. In fact they are the lazy/complacent/incompetent doctors way of 'treating people with depression/general anxiety disorder (GAD). The medical profession need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Couldn't agree more with you. This is a wake-up call for doctors and the public alike.

Long ago passed its use by date has Psychiatry, and a good many qualified Psychiatrists know it and have moved on with their thinking. CBT is one example of the move away from deterministic diagnosis and treatment protocols that most commonly lead to prescription drugs.

One of, if not THE most prescribed Anti-Depressant drug are the Opioids. ANY time I hear of a murder-suicide event like a mass shooting I listen for the comment on the shooter being depressed. This means to me an almost 100% likelihood the shooter/murderer had been prescribed an Opioid. Taking the drug is bad - stopping taking it is the BIG HIT though apparently and considered worse than getting off opium or similar drugs. Someone can stop anytime they chose and BANG.

I observed a 70 y.o. woman exhibit severe anxiety, depression and paranoia, a confirmed pacivist who became very aggressive ALL because of an undiagnosed Celiac condition. When diet and supplements (the only treatment possible) corrected the worst imbalances and deficiencies, the woman returned to her more normal self, anxiety, depression much reduced and the paranoia mostly gone. The change was dramatic and profound - a major shift in attitudes and behavior, a significant easily observable change in character.

Correct naturally the biological activity in the body BEFORE even thinking of reaching for the pills. It just may correct the apparently psychologically based issues. No drugs, no 'Fault in tha Mind' at all..

At least half of the school shooters have been on SSRIs, and the medical history of the other half has been suppressed.

That's a fascinating anecdote about psychological effects of coeliac. I wonder how many other such cases have gone unrecognised?

The dramatic switch back to her old self was the startling part. For a psychologist is was eye opening that nutritional deficiencies or imbalances could have such profound effects upon an individual's feelings, moods, sense of self worth and security and well being generally. She was very nearly caught by the Neurology people though fortunately rescued from their control. I think that our mental/emotional state may be far more influenced by internal functions than we are consciously aware of. No one should see medications of any type as a long term treatment for any psychological condition if another solution is available. The gut is probably the first place to start and may be why a Coeliac condition was so effective. The German Wings pilot was using antidepressants to add to the list of bad outcomes with that treatment plan.

Ahhh the divine smell of honesty, I’ll take it morning, noon and night. Thanks Robyn for bringing this new evidence to our attention, your efforts are greatly appreciated. The world needs this colossal swindle and giant pile of crap to be fully exposed!

Brilliant! How many doctors will take notice though, let's hope it filters through. I've observed many times in my clients that HPA axis problems cause symptoms that would get them diagnosed with depression (if they haven't been already) and treating that lifts the feelings that "it's all too much, I couldn't be bothered" simply because they didn't have enough energy to go beyond 'just coping', hence prescribed anti depressants.

Interesting that Pfizer owns the screening questionnaires, they won't want to give up this huge revenue stream easily.

Thanks to the Covid debacle, I’m quite enjoying this ongoing debunking of medical myths which reveal the hidden hand of the accountancy departments of Big Pharma. The field of psychiatry does seem to be particularly prone to vested interests corrupting medical science.

So now SSRIs have proven to be a giant con just like the Covid quackzines. I particularly like the unintentionally hilarious line from their paper that “some evidence was consistent with the possibility that long-term antidepressant use reduces serotonin concentration”. So, the very condition the SSRIs claim to cure is a potential side-effect of the drug, just like the Covid Goo makes it more likely that the perforated will ‘get Covid’, again and again and again. Dr. Bruce Charlton (whose blog I doscovered reading up on all this) also lists adverse reactions such as long-term impaired sexual enjoyment and much-increased rate of deaths by violent suicide especially in younger people. So, SSRIs and the Covid Goo not only don’t work they can do active harm.

Also like the Covid Goo, there is so much profit dependent on the pseudoscience of ‘chemical imbalance in the brain’. According to Fortune Business Insights, Eli Lilly (Prozac), Pfizer (Zoloft), Glaxo Smith Kline (Paxil), Forest Labs (Lexapro, Celexa), and others are wallowing in a global anti-depressant market worth $12 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $18 billion by 2027. Will there be a lot of The Science chucked the way of Moncrieff et al to protect this honeypot?

I've become such a suspicious bugger that I'm now wondering why the lamestream media have given such a lot of coverage to this article. Is Big pHarma cooking up a new line of 'antidepressants' so they're conducting a controlled demolition of the old ones? Maybe they've finally discovered the formula for Soma. Or maybe there's a new mRNA that will change your genes so you'll be happy while owning nothing and having no privacy.

Having met several highly esteemed psychiatric medical doctors over a five year period I have yet to be able to single out one with a fully functioning brain. How the bloody hell these antidepressant pushing supposed specialists aren't taken to task for prescribing these poisons is beyond belief. Imagine if I told everyone in my street that swallowing poison would make them feel wonderful. I would tell them in a small room with a box of tissues and a desk. I would then charge them a shitload of money that they couldn't afford. Chances are I'd be jailed! Most

It seems to me that the esteem these 'specialists' are held in is inversely proportional to their competence. The handful of really great psychiatrists who question the dogma of their profession - people like Joanna Moncrieff, Peter Breggin and Robert Brennan - are either shunned by their peers, drummed out of the profession or end up leaving in disgust.

Intelligence and questioning most certainly weren't part of the majority of specialists in the past. You passed your course and you knew everything! Being held in high esteem was expected. I dared to ask a specialist a question recently and he said to ask my GP. I said I came for a specialists opinion. He referred me on again!! I left, never to return

It's a shame that the very valid critique of psychiatry that Scientology provided has been tarnished by the association with this rather suspect ideology.
