What is the truth behind the ‘chemical imbalance’ claim for antidepressants?
If you're being told, you know, you have a chemical imbalance, Tucker, here's some Prozac, it's going to help adjust the chemicals. That's a lie.
If something's an imbalance, what's balance? Is there any science behind that at all?
No. It has never been proven. Most people believe that mental illness, you know, that depression, all these things are caused by chemical imbalances.
Sixty six million Americans total on these tracks.
According to the C D C in twenty twenty two, so those numbers could well be higher. That's
craziness.
There's this condition called PSSD, post SSRI sexual dysfunction.
Oh come on.
There's a whole movement, they're incredibly well organized on X doing really important public awareness work around how many people either never regain sexual function when they come off. What? S some people haven't regained it for years. And and
so there's dead.
Yeah.
Okay. Really? And no one's gone to jail for this?
So I read this piece in the New York Times about you that's like actually kind of hostile. And the story seems to be that you were on psych meds for a lot of your young life and then you got off them. And that's bad. That's bad. You might lead people to do the same. You might lead them astray, off s psychiatric medication, out of therapy and into like independent, happy life. Why would anyone be mad at you for getting off psych drugs?
It's a good question. I mean I think I think really m there's just so much fear and and greed and um disconnection from from, you know, emotional pain that that people hear a story of someone who's decided to let go of dependence on professionals and pills and institutions and and they just can't fathom trying it for themselves because they've built their whole lives around this idea of being sick and needing treatment and needing medical expertise and institutional authorities to to guide them so to hear a story of someone who said I'm not gonna do that anymore is to basically call into question their entire Existence, their entire identity, their entire sense of self and purpose in the world. And it makes me feel sad.
I feel sad about it because. I'm just sharing my story. I'm not telling anyone what to do. I'm just talking about what I did and yet somehow A lot of people out there think I'm insulting them or or attacking them. It baff it baffles me.
It's just it's in uh and I understand everything that you ha you that you've said. I mean the countr and I think you've got a lot of detail on this, but the country is pretty much addicted to these drugs. Like a huge percentage of the population takes them, can't get off them. Unclear if they're benefiting from them. So I understand that you're You're poking at something that people rarely mention in public and that goes deep. Um, on the other hand, Thought the goal was health. And independence and joy and connection between people and productivity and creativity and And it doesn't even seem like that those are considered virtuous goals by the New York Times, which does kind of give me the creeps a little bit.
Yeah, it's fascinating. Well, it is. It's dark. Yeah. And and I don't know if you looked at the comments on that New York Times article, or if you heard about the the kerfuffle, you know, that it that that article caused the the readership of the New York Times, but they had to shut the comments down after thirteen hundred just sh poured right in within a day of the article being out because people were just so outraged. raged at how Uh, basically what a fascist I am for for you know, entertaining the idea that that, you know, you can take your your body and your well being and your identity back from A very powerful industry that profits off of us being afraid of our suffering. It's and I'm literally a fascist now.
I've I've been called Because
you live quietly with your family in New England, not wanting to bother anybody or tell anyone what to do, but you're for nature and peace and independence and that makes you a fascist.
So amazing.
Okay. I just wanna just
wanna
Just wanted to set the the stage for your story.
