An alarming number of individuals find themselves dependent on antidepressants and psychiatric medications, desperately seeking guidance on how to safely discontinue their use. The general medical community has failed to assist people in safely getting off these drugs. The dependency can create severe withdrawal symptoms. Most doctors have no clue how to get their patients off safely keeping them in a cycle of drug dependency. The worst of prescribers will frame the withdrawal symptoms as worsening "depression" and justification for staying on drugs. On Episode 154 of the Radically Genuine Podcast Dr. Roger McFillin dives into the topic of deprescribing and tapering off psychiatric drugs with a pharmacist.
Dr. Shawn Gill, PharmD, is a pharmacist, writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur dedicated to sparking change in healthcare through deprescribing. He is the founder of Deprescribe Solutions, an independent consulting practice focused on reversing early-stage chronic conditions in mental health, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. He hosts the "Deprescribe" podcast and writes the Substack newsletter "B.U.D.S," where he explores topics in health, deprescribing, parenting, and personal growth.

In this explosive episode, insiders Drs. Tim and May Hindmarsh, hosts of the BS Free MD’s podcast, blow the whistle on a medical system they claim is fundamentally broken. From the death of independent practices to the insidious influence of Big Pharma, these veteran family physicians pull no punches. They expose how insurance companies manipulate care, why your doctor's recommendations might be driven by profit rather than health, and how "preventative medicine" could be making you sicker. The Hindmarshes argue that the Affordable Care Act, far from fixing healthcare, has made it worse - and more expensive. They reveal why nutrition is ignored in medical schools and how standardized screenings could be harming patients. But it's not all doom and gloom - our guests offer radical solutions to fix the system, challenging listeners to take control of their own health. Whether you're a patient, a healthcare provider, or just someone who cares about the future of medicine, this episode is a wake-up call you can't afford to miss.

Dr. McFillin analyzes the manipulation tactics employed by the pharmaceutical industry to alter our perceptions of depression and mental health. He breaks down the notorious Zoloft "blob" commercial from 2001, uncovering its powerful role in shaping public understanding of depression and how we treat it. Many of these psychological manipulation techniques are still in use today. Without awareness of these strategies, we risk falling prey to well-documented methods of mind control. The first step in this resistance isn't anger or action—it's awareness. Open your eyes. See the manipulation for what it is. Because once you can spot the strings of the puppet masters, you can begin to cut them.

Your mind is your own. Guard it fiercely.

On Episode 150 of the Radically Genuine Podcast I interview Ethan Watters an investigative journalist and author. He is most widely known for his book “Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche” published in 2010. He has also appeared on a number of media outlets such as Good Morning America, Talk of the Nation, and CNN and written articles published in The New York Times Magazine, Spin, Details, Mother Jones, Glamour, GQ, Esquire, and the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine.
Does our western conceptualization of mental illness actually create more harm than good? We explore how the export of Western mental health concepts is changing the nature of mental illness globally, examining the impact of Western narratives on depression, schizophrenia and PTSD in non-Western societies. The conversation critiques the assumption that Western therapy is universally applicable and discusses the medicalization of emotional distress in Western cultures.
