How do individuals find strength in their journey to sobriety? This week's episode of The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return tackles a heavy yet crucial topic: the potential link between psychiatric drugs and violence. Diane Stein, president of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) Florida, joins the discussion to highlight the chilling evidence presented in the documentary 'Prescription for Violence'.
Diane shares her personal motivation, sparked by her mother's adverse reaction to psychiatric medication, which led to an unjust involuntary psychiatric examination. The conversation digs into the documentary's origins, following the tragic school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Diane and the hosts explore how psychiatric drugs, often prescribed with little awareness of their severe side effects, might be contributing to the rise in violence.
With anecdotes from Diane's advocacy work and insights from the documentary, listeners are encouraged to question the status quo and consider alternative mental health treatments. This episode doesn't shy away from controversial topics, urging us to think critically about the medications we trust and their broader societal impacts. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply curious about its wider implications, this episode offers an eye-opening perspective.
