it's scary because moncrieff/lucy and the rest of them are completely blinkered and unprincipled. they'll align with anybody who's anti-meds/psychiatry - even fascists.

Sadly adverse effects can occur with any medical treatments Antidepressants can be an effective treatment for some people I didn’t tell patients low serotonin causes depression becuase the evidence isn’t there and my book said the same Moncrieff is a fan of Szasz

I am not fond of anyone who attacks a woman who is merely doing her job and her duty to inform the public and give her findings along with other people including patients who have suffered desperately and continue to suffer. Thank you for not spreading facts not in evidence.
