Hey, friend. Today, I’m hanging out with Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a psychiatrist and former pharmaceutical researcher who now dedicates his career to helping people safely taper off psychiatric medications. He’s one of the few voices in medicine willing to speak out — and what he shares may just change the way you think about mental health treatment forever. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about... <ul> <li class="p1">What psychiatrists are actually taught about mental health in medical school</li> <li class="p1">How drug companies influence the mental health narrative</li> <li class="p1">Why medications continue to be prescribed despite their risks</li> <li class="p1">The turning point that led Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring to question everything he once believed about psychiatric drugs and mental illness </li> <li class="p1">What he believes drives anxiety and depression</li> <li class="p1">Why those who speak out against the mainstream mental health narrative are often labeled as “the bad guys”</li> <li class="p1">Why some people credit medications with saving their lives, while others feel deeply harmed by them</li> <li class="p1">The real story behind side effects, drug tolerance, and psychiatric drug injury</li> <li class="p1">The impact psychiatric medications have on fertility </li> <li class="p1">The three essential rules for coming off medication safely</li> <li class="p1">How to know when it might be the right time to begin tapering</li> <li class="p1">What to know before starting a psychiatric medication</li> <li class="p1">How parents can best support their child’s mental health journey</li> </ul> ...and so much more!  This conversation isn’t about being pro-med or anti-med — it’s about being pro-informed. If this episode helped you feel a little more informed and a little less alone, please share it. Someone else might need that too.
