Most doctors are not trying to make their patients worse. But I've watched it happen, over and over, for years.

Patients come to me already on four, five, six medications. Each one was added in good faith, to solve a problem the last one created or failed to fix. By the time I see them, they're more anxious, more foggy, more exhausted, and more afraid than they were when any of this started. And they're being told the answer is another adjustment.

In this video, I explain how this happens. Why well-meaning doctors keep making patients sicker, what's broken in the way psychiatry is being practiced right now, and what you can do if you suspect it's happening to you.

If you've been on medications for years and feel worse than when you started, you are not imagining it. And you are not alone.

Charay's daughter was 12 years old when she died. She had been prescribed Prozac.

In this conversation, Charay shares her story in her own words. What her daughter was like before the medication. What changed after she started it. What she noticed, what she questioned, and what she wishes she had known.

There are things I learned about antidepressants in practice that I never learned in medical school, and that most patients are never told before they start taking them.

Not because doctors are hiding the ball on purpose. Most genuinely don't know. But that doesn't help you when you're the one taking the medication.

I walk through 5 things I think every patient deserves to hear before they start an antidepressant, or before they decide whether to keep taking one. None of this is anti-medication. It's the conversation I wish more of my colleagues were having with their patients.

If you're on an antidepressant, thinking about starting one, or trying to figure out whether yours is still helping you, this one is for you.
