The Hidden Dangers of Psychiatric Medications: A Deep Dive

Psychiatric medications are killing more Americans than heroin...
Have you ever wondered which is more dangerous: psychiatric medications or heroin? This episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast' takes a hard look at the surprising statistics and real-life impacts of both. Hosted by Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley, this conversation brings to light the alarming rise in deaths due to psychiatric drug overdoses, which have surged nearly fourfold compared to heroin deaths since 2014.
The hosts dive into the effects of polypharmacy, where mixing multiple medications can create a cocktail of problems, and discuss the grim realities of Fentanyl-related deaths and counterfeit pills. But it's not all doom and gloom; the episode also explores how biblical counseling can provide a lifeline for those grappling with addiction. By weaving in Gospel teachings, the hosts offer a message of hope and redemption, aiming to mend broken hearts and spirits.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the dangers of psychiatric medications and the transformative power of faith.
