WOW! Karma works in mysterious ways, in this case protecting copyright from a person who thinks he's 'above' the law? Do you support this legal 'action' by the 'iconic' Kenny Loggins, YES or no? 🙋♂️ #NobodyIsAboveTheLaw #SueTrump

Kids are not designed to be sitting under artificial light, inside, strapped to a desk, looking at computer screens following instructions. No flourishing culture treats children this way. Take your pill like a good little citizen, sit down, shut up and follow orders.

I'm kinda horrified to learn that certain antidepressants can cause genital numbness and dysfunction+ empathy & emotional dampening and that those side effects can be permanent since they are hypothesized to be caused at least some of them by epigenetic changes.

Blog by @MaryanneDemasi '73% of drugs approved by the FDA.. failed to meet all four basic criteria for demonstrating “substantial evidence” of effectiveness.' 'FDA’s threshold for evidence “can’t go any lower because it’s already in the dirt.”'

This is what it looks like. A teenager full of life - football, running, maths, physics, Japanese. Bright. Driven. Kind. A boy who wanted help for his OCD. This is what it looks like when help comes as a pill. Paroxetine. No warnings. No mention of suicide risk. Just “trust

Excellent piece on the insidious positioning of antidepressants as wellness aids. The 'allure of a miracle cure may be irresistible, but it won’t give our lives the meaning we are looking for.'

The author G.K. Chesterton once said that “meaningless does not come from being weary of pain; meaningless comes from being weary of pleasure.” This truism seems particularly apt in the age of the...

Episode now live. I argue ADHD is invalid and unreliable... in fact its very presence is harmful. We are labeling and drugging conditions at the expense of genuine evaluation. Trauma reactions, malnutrition, worry/anxiety, Learning difficulties, technology addiction- all

Bear in mind this is just their immediate effects - lots more adverse effects kick in later (e.g. weight gain, osteoporosis)
Antidepressants have a range of adverse cardiometabolic and physiologic side effects, as seen in a new systematic review of 30 such drugs https://t.co/8VxIzW8JwQ
