In this conversation, Nick interviews Dr. Patrick Hahn--author of multiple books, including Obedience Pills--about the nature of an ADHD diagnosis, the way that the public has been misled about it, and the problems with the most common treatments for it. Nick boldly asserts that the way that ADHD diagnoses halt the search for an actual condition explaining inattentiveness and impulsivity, and the quick prescriptions of stimulant drugs for children is a crime against humanity that we will look back upon shamefully.✨Want to support Psychology Is?Visit https://patreon.com/psychologyisCreated byNick Fortino & Robert DaluzWatch Clips from Psychology Is Podcast with Nick Fortinohttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1CztxANXYAf7EaS-3924VZ1Y6iZ3xUHJ

Stanford psychiatrist and Medical Director Anna Lembke joins Nick Fortino on the 49th episode of the Psychology Is Podcast for an important conversation about a profound problem in our culture: many doctors, and especially psychiatrists, have become drug dealers. A health care system thoroughly contaminated by financial interests, a disempowering and erroneous cultural paradigm about the nature of mental health, and addictive drugs masqueraded as medication are just some of the factors that have given rise to a horrible disaster that is harming so many people. The complete overhaul of the mental health care system is inevitable, but the longer it takes, the more people will be harmed and misled. The profession will not change itself, despite influential people at prestigious institutions speaking out. The change will come when the populace is sufficiently educated. This conversation attempts to serve this purpose, to educate.We also talk about the role of dopamine in the brain, and how to wisely engage in dopamine-releasing behaviors.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/psychologyis/support

"Psychiatry's most fundamental characteristic is its ignorance," wrote Raymond Dolan in his recent review of psychiatric literature. In this episode, UCLA professor Dr. David Cohen shares an excerpt from this study and others. He also describes the big picture, bringing to light the many elements that constitute the modern day mental health so-called care. In sum, psychiatry is scientifically empty. The field is comprised of psychiatrists, who primarily act as drug prescribers, who justify their practices on the basis of "silly theories that are continually refuted," as Dr. Cohen puts it.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/psychologyis/support

Dr. Kendra Campbell is bold, brilliant, and honest. A traditionally trained psychiatrist, Dr. Campbell recognized the irreconcilable flaws at the core of modern psychiatry--the invalidity of its diagnoses, its bogus chemical imbalance theory, and the harmful nature of its treatments--and changed her ways. In the most admirable fashion, she takes responsibility for misleading patients about the nature of their conditions, and for prescribing the wrong treatment. Dr. Campbell now offers a multi-faceted, whole-person based treatment protocol that does not include drugs. She also specializes in guiding people through the process of drug withdrawal.
