FDA Insider: The Serotonin Lie and The SSRI Crisis | In Vivo with Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring | Ep. 28

Former FDA medical officer Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring joins me to blow the whistle on the widespread overprescription of psychiatric medications and the dangerous lack of proper SSRI tapering guidance. Dr. Witt-Doerring, who served in the FDA's Division of Psychiatry, reveals how the entire system—from clinical trials to prescribing habits—is built on a flawed foundation. He exposes the truth behind the serotonin theory of depression and explains why the long-term data on antidepressant side effects is virtually non-existent. 00:00 - Introducing the psychiatric medication crisis 01:26 - Debunking the chemical imbalance theory 02:58 - Introducing Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring 03:27 - A disillusioning start in psychiatry residency 07:10 - Observing drug tolerance and treatment failure 11:12 - Investigating from inside pharma and the FDA 14:22 - Uncovering a systemic fraud 15:20 - The moral compromise in medicine 23:47 - Envisioning a better mental health system 25:59 - Examining the serotonin theory of depression 34:25 - Do antidepressants actually work? 38:24 - The scale of antidepressant overprescription 42:24 - Who should consider tapering and why 44:57 - Principles of safe medication tapering 47:25 - The dangers of withdrawal and cold turkey 52:52 - Understanding protracted withdrawal 57:48 - Managing withdrawal and reinstatement 59:12 - The role of lifestyle in mental health 01:04:26 - A cautious view on supplements and nootropics 01:06:13 - Exposing Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) 01:10:31 - Advice for a younger self and concluding thoughts You may also enjoy:    • Psychiatric Malpractice? The Truth About E...   Connect with Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring's Work: Find out more about his work, the taper clinic, and resources: www.taperclinic.com Check out the Dr. Josef YouTube Channel for more on mental health in America and psychiatry in the news: ‪@taperclinic‬ In Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnX In Vivo on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GBvPPv...
