The Med Free Mental Fitness Podcast Ep 4 : The Truth About Depression and Brain Chemistry

In this episode, host Katinka Blackford Newman is joined by psychiatrist Professor Joanna Moncrieff, author of the new book 'Chemically Imbalanced.' which has caused waves in the media. They explore the idea we have all been sold a lie: that mental illness, particularly depression is caused by a chemical imbalance that antidepressants can cure. They explore the real causes of depression and the consequences of prolonged antidepressant usage. Key topics include emotional blunting, sexual dysfunction, increased risks of falls and fractures in older adults, bleeding associated with SSRIs, risks to unborn babies, and potential withdrawal syndrome in newborns. Additionally, the episode touches upon the possible links between antidepressants and increased heart problems as well as cognitive decline.
