Had I heard the Truth coming out of this gentleman decades ago I couldve gotten myself gotten myself out of the grip of psychiatrists and polydrugging. Nonetheless ive heard this message and I'm proud to say that I am now undrugged after 40 yrs of poly psychotropic drugging and misdiagnosing. Thank you to these brave few drs fighting for the Truth.
I really admire the part where peter says that as a therapist you must unconditionally love your patients. I think the world needs to follow the practice of unconditional love more often.
Interesting thought however that's where I personally disagree with him. I don't think a therapist should love their patients in any way shape or form. A therapist should know how to detach themselves at the right time from their patient so that the patient does not develop dependency.
@@elizabethhastings5757 W/all due respect, Liz; I believe that u r taking the word "love" (& its definition) somewhat out of context. Dr. Breggin's meaning of "(unconditional) love" is accepting & appreciating individuals 4 whom they r & don't change them just bc u don't like how they behave (i.e.: force them on psych meds 2 "control" the behavior). Maybe I'm misinterpreting what u r conveying but I digress.
@@elizabethhastings5757 I think you can love someone but not be dependent on them. I love my spouse and accept him for who he is, but I'm not dependent on him. I agree with @billybandyk0720.
I stopped Lithium, Prozasin, Effexor, Brintellix, Alprazolam, trazadone and other meds within 2 weeks. I had withdrawal, bad manic/bipolar depression for a month and now feel excellent.
Marjorie Sita quite a speedy withdrawal 🤔 Thanks God you have not ended up being hospitalized. 👍 At the beginning of 2016 due to mania I was forcefully put on olanzapine, aripripazol, etc.... starting from May last year I started reducing the dosages and today I am only on 100mg of lamotrigine. A couple more months, and I am off. I know what these drugs do to your brain, and I would never recommend to anyone withdrawing in such a speedy way. The best of luck for you 😊
What a beautiful heart this man has… Bless him!! How tragic that he’s a solo voice speaking truth and wanting to help people unlike what seems to be his entire profession. Sad sad sad. Thank you for showing people what a true Dr should be. Yr in my prayers lovely man.
You definitely can by living as healthy of a life as you can (get enough sleep, dont drink alcohol or do any other drug, eat as healthy as you can and get enough micro nutrients, exercise as often as you can including heavy lifting and cardio with sprints). People have experienced recovery that even if partial, often times has been enough to live an enjoyable life.
I wonder what the possibility is for getting a session in with him. He said none of his clients have committed suicide and he’s been doing this for 60+ years so that gives me some hope
Thank u for being a beacon for me investigating the truth about psych drugs and the oppressive system of Psychiatry today. I needed to advocate for my son who got corralled and isolated, then violated with forced drugs w no informed consent.Hes courageously coming off drugs in spite of all the experts demands but no help
Your stories ring true for me, for I saw psychiatry evolve since my mother was a secretary at the local mental health clinic back in the late '60's. Then, I got caught up in their horrid web of drugs and involuntary treatment. Thanks for this video!
I was prescribed 'clozapine' for relatively mild "psychosis". I wasnt informed about the dangers at all. I barely survived a cold turkey withdrawal. I went into full-force psychosis and still hear voices 9 years after. This "medicine" destroyed my life.
Did you tried vitamins? It's recommended for schizophrenics to take Omega-3 (25% reducation in positive and negative symptoms), B vitamins (B6, B8, B9 preferably methylfolate, B12; reduced symptoms compared to group that just take medication), vitamin D, probiotics help some patients (A 2017 Johns Hopkins study found that probiotics ease delusions and hallucinations in some people with schizophrenia. There are many kinds of probiotics on the market, so look for ones with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Lactobacillus fermentum. People with schizophrenia who took a probiotic that had all those strains daily for 12 weeks, along with high doses of vitamin D, reported large improvements in their symptoms, according to a 2019 study). It may not help but it's simple intervention
Not just that, but they love their career-standing, and the names they make for themselves within communities. MDs are looked upon as "experts" and idolized, often. Too bad they know nothing about how the human body actually works and that it needs nutrients to operate, not pharmaceuticals.
9:45 "... maybe in their lives, because that is how you end up being labelled psychotic. You haven't had a trusting relationship your whole life." - HAHAHA Too True
My 3yr olds mom who I live with started taking Adderall 8 months ago for her eating disorder. We're both in recovery. I was against it but didn't want to fight about it. She was supposed to just be on the lowest maintenance dose but is now at 40 mgs daily. The person I knew is gone and it is sad that she fought 20 yrs to get clean and sober only to legally get back on stimulants. My kid definitely notices. I care about her deeply but there's nothing I can do.
I started with back pain, ended up on 2 antidepressants, ended up in the hospital when I winged off. Got my gut destroyed from antiobotics, was given duloxetine, doctor not listening, wanted off deluxitine it was making me severly ill, got another doctor, same thing, added another antidepressants, to counter act the first one, then added another for sleep, then said no, I'm done with you people trying to destroy me, and he referred me to a psychologist. This is our new healthcare . 😢
I'm dying every day. I was on many drugs for my OCD and then they misdiagnosed me with bipolar put me on many other drugs my life is over. It's been six months. I am off my meds, but it's like nightmare😢 Akhatisia,anhedonia, cognitive impairment, insomnia, DPDR, racing thoughts, and severe mood swings،Hyper sensitive nervous system. Hyper salivation,horrofic nightmare. I'm getting worse every day. I can't take it anymore 😢😢 I really want to live, but I can't take it anymore. I am so close to suside everyday.
My Hero...God Bless Him and every soul he is able to get off these money-grabbing druggists too self-satisfied and rich to question whats making them $$$$ Unconcious beings parading as drs. and First...they do ONLY HARM in their chosen denial. The most insidious thing on earth.
That dangerous people don't listen .electric shock is torcher..and it shouldn't be allowed I was 11years old ,they even tryed to take me from my family...
Truly enjoyed great portions of his philosophy and talk. Quite saddened by his misbelief/erroneous beliefs in the prehistoric man and evolution. We, we we were not evolving "creatures". God created us, loves us and wants us to be happy. We cannot HOPE to find caring associates or physicians. They are too few and far between.
Your body can and wants to heal itself. Prayer is a big first step. Hang in there and don't stop researching and trying new ways and supplements. I get real results with one out of three tries so I don't stop. God bless you.
I have to be honest about my experience. No one ever told me that God in heaven would have a one on one loving relationship with a person. I discovered if someone confesses they will turn from self serving, any sin, and invite Jesus inside as Lord and Leader they are given a new full of love heart. After I decided to try Jesus, (that's what I told myself) I had light bulb eyes, I could feel God's hugs and love, I could hear the Holy Spirit talk to me as He sees Jesus over us not a impure heart. I felt loved inside for me when i gave up me, and God put in me a better heart. I surrendered to Jesus as shepherd. I became one of his body. Love flows from Him and through his body of true Believers. Im never alone as a friend is inside me all the time. Giving my heart to Christ gave me peace love and joy 🕊💗✨️
I was polydrugged after a bout of insomnia due to long COVID I had a reaction to an SSRI and was diagnosed as bipolar Bipolar at 62 out of the blue? I’ve been on Klonopin for a year and feel detached from myself and loved ones
what about PTSD, and if you are a 51 y/o who as part of the abuse from early childhood was forced to become addicted to benzoes?. I'm that person, and no drug help me, and the last Doctor sent me to get ECT and started to reduce the benzoes. Couldn't do the ECT because i don't have any friends or family to care for me. Since i was a child i was diagnosed as Asperger's, but since is not in the books anymore, nobody takes that into account, which for me is like... always having sex with your same gender and all of the sudden they say that you are not gay. Thanks a lot.
Support during withdrawal is very important. (When you are unable to go out and buy groceries, or cook a meal) Also financial stability (food and bills for 6-12months). One must decide for themselves. Pros and cons of staying on med/going off. Nobody should judge you (nor you should jouge yourself) for staying on them, if you decide so. It's ok. We do the best we can. If you still decide to do it, just go slow. Take care, I wish you peace and strength. ❤
I believe what Dr. Breggin says is completely true, but he has no suggestions for what to do for patients that cannot function without meds. I was 30 years on AD's and was able to function at a low level. I've been off the medication for a couple years now and I am completely dysfunctional. What would Dr. Breggin suggest for people like myself? BTW - there are millions like me ....
He said love lol , I went without meds fot years and I was bed ridden with clinical depression, so Im back on them and im not 100% funtional but I have some sort of life now
@@magalijimenez9291 @Magali Jimenez - I'm wondering .... do you think your meds made your original underlying depression worse? I'm not sure how much longer I should try to survive without meds?

I do wish everyone would lay the hell off of benzodiazepines because they have an important role. Several times a week the nurses lives are saved when very powerful psychotic men are given this safety valve. You can also prevent cardiovascular events in situation of extreme distress. Used responsibly, every bit as safe & effective as they were 50 years ago. They prevent and I’m suffering and they often break the grass I was suicidal crisis.
Try vitamins for depression (research it on Google, my depression probably was caused by constant pain of vitamin D deficiency); anti-inflammatory diet; exercises (in the long run exercise beats antidepressants plus exercise; walking is good, it has additional benefits like sun for your eyes, good for eyes, vitamin D); gratitude, success and what made you smile today journal
Story Time: When I was 15 I worked as a nurses aide in a nursing home. One day, a little lady who was always very sedate - never really moved from her chair, except when I took her to the bathroom, became volatile and angry toward me when I tried to help her up to walk with her. I called the DNS to come see what was going on, and she told me: "They must have missed her med." I asked what med she was on, and it was Thorazine. So, the one day she didn't have it, she came alive and got angry, and I thought to my 15-year-old self that I'd be pretty ticked off too, if I'd been drugged up for years and tied to a chair all day. Ugh. (This was back in the late 70s.) The "medical" community often sucks.
I was prescribed Thorazine @ age 10 in 1977; that nasty drug ruined my sexual development. Needless 2 say (pardon me @ the risk of TMI), I've nvr had sexual intercourse in my life (I'm 55; DOB: 7/20/1967).
+Tracey Duffy Well that's great news. Thing is I was on SSRI for a short time (for about a month) and I didn't want to taper a whole year, I cold turkeyd it. I was on max dose unfortunately so it didn't work, the first months I didn't feel lobotomized but now I do.
Dr Breggin, please help. My son is 40 years old and has schizophrenia, untreated. There is only drug therapy in my town. Can you please tell me where I might take him?
Please look for functional medicine doctor and/or naturopathic practitioner in your area. Help is out there but you must keep searching and researching. God bless you.
Maybe “compassion” not “love”… Dr. Breggin uses string language! To ask therapists/clinicians to be 100% different than other humans is incredibly aspirational (they are merely human themselves, as Breggin states himself repeatedly and to his credit). Dr. Breggin was hated by colleagues of his and yet *in the last 15 years* many will cite their having had a good relationship with him, and often agreeing with his ideas. This video was published/posted 8 yrs ago, I know. We have ketamine etc now (which if any drug was repurposed “off label” based on good clinical studies, that one should’ve been allowed 10 years earlier than it was outside of its primary research use (or observations of its effectiveness in depressed patients) at Yale in the 1990s). Dr. Breggin has been incredibly prescient (or early) in recognizing drugs have scattershot effects on both brain and the rest of the body… they do not “target” any “condition” we socially define.
I agree with almost everything you say, except the Darwin theory of evolution. We were created by God; whom you mention; but what god are you talking about?
Had I heard the Truth coming out of this gentleman decades ago I couldve gotten myself gotten myself out of the grip of psychiatrists and polydrugging.

Amino acids especially tyrosine and theanine. God bless you.
Try vitamins for depression (research it on Google, my depression probably was caused by constant pain of vitamin D deficiency); anti-inflammatory diet; exercises (in the long run exercise beats antidepressants plus exercise; walking is good, it has additional benefits like sun for your eyes, good for eyes, vitamin D); gratitude, success and what made you smile today journal
Thorazine a killer...lucky I ate alot of beets and Spanish...vitamins kept heart muscle strong...
Story Time:
When I was 15 I worked as a nurses aide in a nursing home. One day, a little lady who was always very sedate - never really moved from her chair, except when I took her to the bathroom, became volatile and angry toward me when I tried to help her up to walk with her. I called the DNS to come see what was going on, and she told me: "They must have missed her med." I asked what med she was on, and it was Thorazine. So, the one day she didn't have it, she came alive and got angry, and I thought to my 15-year-old self that I'd be pretty ticked off too, if I'd been drugged up for years and tied to a chair all day. Ugh. (This was back in the late 70s.) The "medical" community often sucks.
I was prescribed Thorazine @ age 10 in 1977; that nasty drug ruined my sexual development. Needless 2 say (pardon me @ the risk of TMI), I've nvr had sexual intercourse in my life (I'm 55; DOB: 7/20/1967).
Is a chemical lobotomy curable ?
+Tudor Renegade Yeah it is mate. Taper off the drugs and look after yourself. Nutrition is the way forwards.
+Tracey Duffy Well that's great news. Thing is I was on SSRI for a short time (for about a month) and I didn't want to taper a whole year, I cold turkeyd it. I was on max dose unfortunately so it didn't work, the first months I didn't feel lobotomized but now I do.
To be honest I got some of it back one year later but It's nowhere near as it used to be.
That's beautiful.
Been tricked into a year of seroquel, ability and clozapine - I hope so
Dr Breggin, please help. My son is 40 years old and has schizophrenia, untreated. There is only drug therapy in my town. Can you please tell me where I might take him?
Please look for functional medicine doctor and/or naturopathic practitioner in your area. Help is out there but you must keep searching and researching. God bless you.
im committed over a lie. know any one who got out of one ? 1985 till now me in facebook
Maybe “compassion” not “love”… Dr. Breggin uses string language! To ask therapists/clinicians to be 100% different than other humans is incredibly aspirational (they are merely human themselves, as Breggin states himself repeatedly and to his credit). Dr. Breggin was hated by colleagues of his and yet *in the last 15 years* many will cite their having had a good relationship with him, and often agreeing with his ideas. This video was published/posted 8 yrs ago, I know. We have ketamine etc now (which if any drug was repurposed “off label” based on good clinical studies, that one should’ve been allowed 10 years earlier than it was outside of its primary research use (or observations of its effectiveness in depressed patients) at Yale in the 1990s). Dr. Breggin has been incredibly prescient (or early) in recognizing drugs have scattershot effects on both brain and the rest of the body… they do not “target” any “condition” we socially define.
*Edit…Should be obvious it’s a typo, but as to “string language,” no linguistic gymnastics was intended: “STRONG LANGUAGE.”
what about choline and the foetus
I told you it was nothing but a money maker...with0 % cures.
I agree with almost everything you say, except the Darwin theory of evolution. We were created by God; whom you mention; but what god are you talking about?
