Hey folks, I'm trying something different by posting my full audio episodes on all non-YouTube platforms monthly instead of weekly.  You can still see the video with graphics on my YouTube channel, which will separate each full-length interview into appropriately titled segments for more concise viewing.  This month, I'm talking again with James Greenblatt, MD and psychiatrist who specializes in a...

Hey folks, I'm trying something different by posting my full audio episodes on all non-YouTube platforms monthly instead of weekly.  This conversation is with Antonio Nardi, MD, and we discuss the immoral and aggressive marketing of SSRIs, overpromised in terms of efficacy and safety profiles, which led to the near-dissolution of use of the MAOI class of antidepressants, which are significantly mo...
