This week we are joined by Robert Whitaker. Mr. Whitaker gives us an amazing take on health, relating it to every facet of life. We discuss Whitaker's journey and how he came to this view of psychology and psychiatry. He explains some of the convincing literature and history that led him to this perspective.
We discuss the fallacies of the neurochemical imbalance hypothesis, the role of the environment in healing as well as its role as a causal factor. We cover some very important aspects of the development of mental health conditions, including how we treat people with these conditions.
We also address the problem with diagnosis, especially with the DSM. We discuss how psychiatry has been medicalized and how pharmaceutical companies pushed the idea of neurochemical imbalance without evidence.
We then explore the natural course of mental health conditions and how psychoactive drugs can inhibit this natural course. This, in turn, affects the ways we study psychiatric drugs and how we treat people.
