America's like the most drugged country in the world. You know psychiatric drugs or illegal drugs or whatever.
What if the very medications meant to help us could also harm us? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Joanie Sigal and Jason Good sit down with Diane Stein, President of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights in Florida. Prompted by the tragic suicide of fashion icon Kate Spade, they dive into the controversial world of psychiatric medications.
Stein is a fierce advocate for informed consent, emphasizing the need for patients to fully understand the potential side effects of these drugs, including suicidal tendencies. This episode doesn't just stop at highlighting the dangers; it also explores alternative rehab and detox methods, shedding light on the often-overlooked issue of misdiagnosis and overprescription.

Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of why informed consent is crucial in mental health treatment. Whether you're grappling with these issues yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of information and a fresh perspective on psychiatric medications.
