This describes the entire soul sucking poison for profit experience. It's a deadly marketing scam for profit, literally torturing and killing people for cash and convenience all while trying to make it seem like it's "for their own good".
Thank you so much for being a bright Light in this darkness, Dr. McFillin. You are a true Godsend and one of the *very* few doctors I trust at this point. You truthfulness, deep thinking, compassion and understanding are very deeply appreciated.
I used to think that quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever tried to stop - until I tried to get off the sertraline that I was prescribed for years by a GP, who apparently knew nothing about it except what the drug company literature said. Originally it was prescribed for PMS symptoms (instead of exercise or effective supplements which I now know actually work better with no side effects).
It was insane - and getting off it took well over a year and a half. And then the blowback from my brain trying to renormalize itself...wow. Being on the drug kept me very complacent, and numbed my responses to everything. Dulled my creativity, my sexuality (it was like being chemically neutered). I also believe it might have cost me a pregnancy I very much wanted.
I wish I could go back in time and warn my younger self, but like everything else we wish we could undo or redo in life, that's not it works.
This is great… I have a message for psychiatry, perhaps most appreciated by GenXers who were first medicated as kids and are now experiencing psych med withdrawal…
It's honestly hard to take your critical comment about Psychiatry seriously when your profile name includes pronouns (to appease the mentally ill with gender dysphoria is my guess).
See, you can trust your doctor. I bet he even sends flowers on the day you move into the asylum...or the hospice. You can be assured that the drugs are always working. You can trust that the poisons will be bringing your closer to a healthy end.
Excellent. Questioning the use of psychotropic medication for any and every emotional disturbance is the third rail and I'm so glad you are willing to grab it!
Lovely article! I’d like to share with a few people I know. Only one subject is missing and that’s the homocidal, anger that ruins marriages and families. Perfectly mild manner people get abusive. People never see that coming.
Brilliant! It would be really amusing if it weren’t so tragic.

Every word resonated with me. This is exactly what happened with our son and how we got sucked in - down to the comparison to insulin.
This is genius, and I truly believe we need brave professionals like you to speak truth to this perception-controlling heist. Thank you.
Depressingly accurate.
I will never read you while drinking liquid again. At least the inside of my nose is caffeinated now. I hit the insulin line at the wrong time.

Excellent. Like a window to the outside world from inside of the asylum that is the United States today.
I enjoyed this! Actual LOL moments but yes, very serious content.

Oh look, the first person I’m gonna block on Substack.
So well-written! Arguably your best :)
This is fantastic
