From Cure to Curse: How a Mental Health Drug Escaped Control

They called it a miracle drug. Safer than anything before it. Doctors prescribed it like candy. Millions took it daily. The pharmaceutical industry made billions. Then people tried to stop taking it... and discovered they couldn't. What was supposed to cure anxiety became a chemical prison worse than the disease itself. This is the story of benzodiazepines—how a Nobel Prize-worthy discovery turned into one of medicine's biggest catastrophes, and why millions are still trapped today. The pills your grandmother takes. The prescription your doctor writes without thinking twice. The epidemic hiding in plain sight. 💸Support us - buymeacoffee.com/priceofillusions 🎧Listen to our episodes as podcasts on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2J9qpOe...
