There's so much hypocrisy around this entire issue.
Ever felt like the world of psychiatry can be a bit too rigid? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson chats with psychologist Dr. Bruce Levine, the author of 'Commonsense Rebellion: Taking Back Your Life from Drugs, Shrinks, Corporations, and a World Gone Crazy'. Dr. Levine pulls no punches as he critiques the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and discusses the over-prescription of psychiatric drugs. But it doesn't stop there.
He dives into the impact of psychiatric drug withdrawal and why it's so harmful. Levine also touches on the importance of self-awareness in addiction treatment and how addressing underlying trauma can lead to better outcomes. If you're curious about how anti-authoritarianism fits into all this, Dr. Levine has some eye-opening insights to share. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a call to rethink how we approach mental health and addiction treatment.
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that might just change the way you see psychiatry.
