1 in 4 older adults in Australia are on antidepressants despite being less depressed than younger age groups and more susceptible to antidepressant associated harms e.g. falls, fractures and death

Older Australians are less likely to be depressed, yet are more likely to be prescribed antidepressants – why?

The largest ever study of antidepressants significantly misreported and inflated the effects of antidepressants but neither the medical community nor the media are interested
madinamerica.com
American psychiatry, the medical community, and mainstream media have betrayed the American public by failing to make this scandal known.

This makes me so angry. I’ve known Kev since I was 18, and I’ve never seen him like this. I don’t believe in hell, but these medics and carers were in it, and the bastards who made light of this plague, denied it, called it a flu, and made it worse for everyone, you deserve it.
Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

Essential viewing for everyone who still thinks that Australia overreacted in the first year of the COVID pandemic. What Australia did in that year saved literally many thousands of lives.
