And that's one of the dangers of using the medications in humans as well. There's a sense of, well, I'm doing what the experts are telling me. I'm looking after my mental health, where your depression or your anxiety is so much more than taking a pill.

But it gives people a false sense of security that, yes, they're really handling things when they might not be. And, you know, like I mentioned, I take people off meds who have been on them for two decades. And when they come off, we're rebuilding their lives, you know, and teaching them how to process their emotions. And so in some ways, it might actually be...

I think one that's really good for people to listen to is the one, it's called Psychiatrist Hurt by Drugs He Prescribed. It challenges the whole profession. And the thumbnail has a photo of Mark Horowitz and it says, I got really hurt. And that one I think is a great story because it talks about a psychiatrist who everyone assumes is meant to know the risks of these medications.

But he falls for the same narrative. And so I think that's a really interesting one. I mean, some of these stories are really – can be really quite emotional and sad. I mean, we have – You know, if I think about another one, we've got, I feel like there's an interview I did with a gentleman called Matt Marin, M-A-R-I-N, it's called Surviving Akathisia and Protracted PsychMed Withdrawal.

He's just a very likable person. He's young. He's attractive. And he kind of talks about how he got lulled into taking these medications and then how it caused him a whole bunch of problems. And let me see if I had one more. He asked for three. This is very sad.
