Can your Doctor help you with Depression?
Unfortunately, many GPs believe that SSRI medication helps to alleviate depression. But, the evidence does not back this up.
In this episode, you’ll discover why taking medication to ‘treat’ depression and anxiety only mildly helps. You’ll discover that taking anti-depressants in the long-term is not a wise decision. And, you’ll get some guidance on what else you can do to feel less depressed in safer and more effective ways.
But, what if you are already taking anti-depressant medication? Get some useful important advice on what to do and learn about other useful resources that can help you navigate the challenges of withdrawal and giving up psychiatric drugs.

Hi Rob…thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Yes, I did my homework here and I’m hoping it proves useful to the people who need it.
Great work Jim. Bringing a really important message to wider attention. This is about the science and not someone’s opinion.
Yes. Thanks Richard. It is about the science as well as a much bigger purpose…making sure people are protected and respected to make informed choices. That’s the thing that really worries me here…the harm that is being done.
Thanks for your support.
