#383 Josef Witt-Doerring – They LIED To You About Depression And Psychiatric Medication

podcast December 31, 1969

Background
share close

Zuby is joined by psychiatrist Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring to discuss the modern mental-health crisis. The two trace the history of psychiatric medications, unpack the “chemical imbalance” narrative, and examine how diagnoses and incentives can drive overprescription. Josef explains under-discussed risks like drug-induced psychosis, akathisia, and post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, and why holistic health, community, and personal responsibility matter. They also tackle politics, pharma, and practical solutions.
