No Six Year Old or Eight Year Old or Four Year Old is saying, you know, I'd really like to take an atypical anti-psychotic, or I, you know, maybe a ritalin would be good for me, or an antidepressant. It's certainly up there as extraordinarily profound because we're really changing the way kids grow up and if the science is right, we are really diminishing a lot of lives.
Ever wondered if psychiatric medications are doing more harm than good? In this thought-provoking episode of SAFE RECOVERY, Monica Richardson sits down with Robert Whitaker, the acclaimed author of 'Anatomy of an Epidemic'. Whitaker's investigative work has won numerous awards, and in this conversation, he unpacks the alarming rise in juvenile bipolar disorder diagnoses and the overmedication of children. Whitaker argues that what’s often labeled as mental illness might just be normal human behavior misunderstood.
He also sheds light on the unsettling criminal activities sometimes found in AA and NA meetings. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning the conventional approaches to mental health and addiction recovery. By exploring alternative healing methods and promoting empowerment, this discussion offers a fresh perspective on how we treat mental health and addiction. Tune in to hear Whitaker's compelling insights and consider new ways to approach recovery.
