I have great respect for any Canadian physician who has the courage to speak up.
Thank you for understanding...it has not been without significant harassment and threats from the
experts involved and the health authority defending them.
@@drannamd Yes. I do understand and know this. I'm surprised they haven't tried to take your license from you.
It takes a lot of courage/conviction to speak up, knowing the consequences. 🙏👍💪
They are trying very hard. Harassment, threats, and bullying...lots of it.@@sandywhat2429
@@drannamdGreat information - American here, the pharma industry with TV commercials every 10 minutes does not help. I agree that there is no plan to taper people off or an alternate plan that is not drug dependent.
I don't respect her, and I'll tell you why: she has no judgment. You do NOT take to "social" media or UA-cam to air these serious issues as though you're a high school sophomore, if you actually mean to change what is happening. You begin by consulting attorneys and finding allies in your own profession. You plan your intervention carefully, and only then do you move.
This is useless. Worse, it is generally counterproductive.
To quote Dr. Peter Breggin "The most dangerous thing you can do in The Western World is go to a psychiatrist." I would amend that to "the Entire World. "
Its true. psychiatrists just destroy peoples lives thats all they do.
You mean go to a Medical Doctor

@@marianneellman1139I recommend looking into adaptogens like Reishi to help balance out some of the issues delicately
Me too. It’s been about 8 years for me.
What did you take?

Psychiatry needs to be disbanded as non professional and pushes barbaric treatments which they know nothing about as they themselves admit
How many would volunteer for LAI's Abilify Maintena 400 mg IM and ECT "for convenience" for themselves or their loved ones? Zero
Barely hear the host
Yeah, I struggle to see electro convulsive therapy as anything less than barbaric.
Medicine as a whole seems to have lost its way, at least in the western world.
You have got it. As I saw with my late veteran partner. the pharmaceutical companies warned against combining Cipralex and Cymbalta but his doc did and the results were beyond description. When the first adverse reactions came on, he said I think the doc has blundered with my meds. I did all could; stayed with him while he hallucinated; was suicidal... and he thanked me after. Dangerous for us both; at times he did not know who I was; paranoid and suspicious of me; The two Cs were only some of the meds he was on. The police were wonderful; after days of this suffering he headed for the RR tracks to try suicide; I called the police and they stopped him. But that was all they could do; they took him back to hospital and after a Lithium shot had brought him down they still put him in a coma and he emerged with no emotion; terrible to see; I am bitter about what he went through and how it affected his life with his family and friends and with our relationship; he had twenty years of this and gave up in the end. He was told if he did not cooperate with the meds he would risk losing the ptsd part of his pension which I think is against the Hippocratic Oath. My own doctor was aghast that he was on a Benzodiazepine along with four other meds. It is too late for us and his family but I would like to see the pharmacists take a larger role; they really know meds; if the docs would consult or if the pharmacists could have the authority to refuse a prescription that does seem right it might be a big help. The other idea I have is that a patient be in hospital when a new med is prescribed or a dosage changed. the docs say call if there is a problem but as I have said elsewhere, someone in a manic state does not realize they are in trouble.
absolutely!!!! this dr is one of the few who actually seems to care & knows what she's talking about & like she said if she loses her license bc she did right thing for pt then it wasn't worth much to begin with was right on!!! she actually researches stuff and cares! what a concept & everything she's saying is so incredibly accurate. i wonder would it be inappropriate for me as a pt to take to social media about the fact i was cold turkeyed off benzo i was on 27 yrs 3mg daily and then dismissed from practice after my provider left without notifying pts!!??? i've called fda lawyers won't touch it can't find prescriber even my pcp won't taper me off properly & safely. i even checked into psych ward they changed all my meds at same time , didn't give benzos and discharged me 3 days later w no prescriber or therapist & without talking to social worker as i asked. this system is beyond broken and where i live in iowa there are just a few actual drs left. most providers are np or pas which i used to think was ok but they seem to know less and less. i'm a masters level social worker and know way more than them which they resent and it's why i get dismissed from everywhere for false reasons without even talking to me. it's so messed up how these so called med prof are playing God w innocent pts most of who cannot advocate for themselves & don't understand what or why they're taking. but they're the drs dream bc they won't question a thing & ironically they overmedicate them unnecessarily but i had to argue beg plead w nurse to get a prescription strength benadryl or my blood pressure meds for my hypertension that's near stroke level. idk what to do if anyone has suggestions i'd really really appreciate any and all.
Thank you for your bravery to stand up against this sick sick system 🙏
yes yes yes!!!! bless you for your courage wisdom caring and true commitment to your profession and the ppl you treat. they are so fortunate to have you. i wish there were more like you- you should be the gold standard that drs should learn from but sadly you are one of a kind. thank you for doing what you are and your education. you are clearly brilliant!!! you make so many good points. can i ask you woukd you contact anyone specific or post on social media if you were me?
Exactly. It ruined me. I stopped after 3 days. And I felt sick. They just gave me more and more. And Benzo
When psychiatrists are able to prescribe stable employment, living wages, affordable housing, free job training/education, etc., we will have a lot less “depression.“
Yes very true.
@@jasminebarratt1809 At the present time, Psychiatrists are able to coach the aesthetic Talent Training offered by Howard Glasser or Peter Breggin - but this is not their hubris!
YES, THIS! I made a long stream of consciousness rant about this on September 21, 2024, ten (10) months after this interview/conversation got uploaded. Some people are gifted but also have distinctly problematic thoughts and at times, conduct. Hard on themselves, and hard on others. Not everyone can afford all the suppprts or find the gift of time and attention from ongoing persons who (whatever their job titles or professions etc) are willing (abd able) to devote themselves substantially to collaboration with someone troubled whose life CAN work, but who needs more than meds or a “secure environment” (autonomy is needed like air, by most of us human beings… ditto some sense of purpose avd meaning, whether a person can Eve tuslly support themselves financially or not… but so often with residences we can supply, they CAN). One if us is concise… you not me. I’m very worked up about varuios disasters, so I take refuge while traveling alone in svary situations, in whatever interesting, edifying, inspiring content I find online… when I can even get internet infrastructure sufficient for (any) purpose … THNX for yoir patience with my verbosity/inconcision, and my typos, if you ever see this!
Dr. Anna, you are phenomenal!! Thank you so much for standing up against our twisted healthcare system in Canada. You are deeply appreciated! Please please please continue the fight on behalf of all Canadian patients! God bless you and your family always! 🙏🏼❤️
I told a psychologist friend about what my veteran pal went through - with meds - over- excitement on psych meds, followed by induced comas - and she said it reminded her of Dr. Ewen Cameron. What are they doing?
i actually thought health care was supposed to be good or at least better in canada than the us. it's a total joke here dependent on discipline. and the oath should be first do harm. bc that's what they're doing and the scary thing is these are things we know about hapoening who knows what else has been done at pts risks.
It is all western countries!!!
I an glad at least this Dr is trying to get it out there....
This needs to be on News channels.
Of course they can't no proof...
Meanwhile people are suffering injury everywhere trying to keep there above water.

Thanks. Though you are too low in volume compared to her, making it difficult to hear you without her being too loud. Still, very much appreciating the content and the work you're doing.
Lol
I was wondering why I couldn’t hear her anymore and thought hmm weird that she’s speaking the truth and the sounds go mute 🤫 thank u for fixing it second time watching it . I got traumatized third time now yesterday camh h emergency hospital in Canada
Josef just checking if your own microphone in this video is connected - thank you
Do you know about the herb Milk thistle ? Could that be of help in ridding the body of adverse drug reactions?
I appreciate your attempts to alert the public of the dangers of seeking psychiatric care. This population is very vulnerable and should be treated as such. They need protection.
It's about controlling people who are struggling and unable to take care of themselves ... dystopian future if nothing changes
To take advantage of somebody at their lowest point is worse than a scumbag it all just for money
Unless, hired to help feed the fear & from overburdening the health system that’s Already overburdened
They're destroying vulnerable people on purpose in a sly backhanded way while pretending to be trying to help them, because a dominant portion of the people who get through the artificially high and intensely competitive barriers of entry into elite professions like psychiatry are smug eugenicist elitists who regard damaged/flawed/strange/vulnerable people as disgusting garbage that only feeble-minded fools want kept alive. I was introduced to this mindset quite casually by a popular pre-med student back when I was in college. It's virtually taken for granted as simple fact is some circles apparently. If you disagree with it, all that means to some people is that you can't handle the truth and aren't to be taken seriously.
Military victories don't defeat twisted ideas held by dominant cliques on both the winning sides and the losing sides, and World War II did not defeat the attitude that can be seen represented by the deadly brainworms in Pink Floyd The Wall. Maybe some people think it's vulgar to reference a rock opera, but it's spot on in that message. The worms are still at it, hidden in plain sight in this more superficially genteel version of what is happening in a place beginning with "G" that would probably be censored if I mentioned it explicitly.
@@drannamd As dystopian cash cows!
This is horrifying. But globally psychiatrists are doing this. I was stuck on a conveyor belt of these drugs when my underlying problem was I had no life coping skills. The first six years of my life was a dysfunctional chaotic chaos. Later in life I, like my dad who died an alcoholic when I was six years old, found relief in alcohol. My psychiatrist wasn't in the least bit interested in any of my childhood trauma or why I was drinking. None of it. My saving Grace was losing my job and medical insurance. With no money I was of no use to him. Thank God my psychiatric drug hell was only 2 to 3 years and I was able to come off the whole caboodle relatively easily and quickly. My mom, God bless her, planted the seed of Alcoholic Anonymous in my head. On 16 December this year I will be 18 years sober. It's only listening to your podcasts that I realise how lucky I've been.
Wonderful ! And we need to shut down these money making machines ! Big pharma cares nothing for us . In fact they are killing us
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
You are one kick-ass survivor!
Congratulations on your sobriety!
Coping and social skills can be encouraged and taught - forcing someone to take neurotoxic drugs will not build his potential!
Social media is definitely the way to go. Can't be silenced easily.
For now. Govts have given big corps/industry more power through deregulation over many decades to where we are now. Legislators/law makers, politicians etc are beholden to private industry as donors for their job/career vs voters.
All social media is the product of US intelligence agencies.
Social Media is also their weapon against us as a tool of spying so we have to tread carefully to get the messages across without their algorithm losing its way from others
This woman is rare. Even at great risk to herself, she is willing to stand for what is right. God bless you Good Doctor!
Medicine is not about patients anymore. It predates on people's belief that doctors are here to help them
This is absolutely shocking. Makes me sick to my stomach. Heartbreaking 💔
Unfortunately none of this surprises me about Canada. They don’t like wrong think here
Can you expand on your comment? Do you think LAI's of antipsychotics, with known long list of side effects, should be used "for convenience" in involuntary patients?www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-drug-safety-communication-fda-warns-about-new-impulse-control-problems-associated-mental-health and that prescribers should receive "the usual honorariums" for enrollment? www.bcss.org/wp-content/uploads/resources/Otsuka-Abilify-Maintena-Expert-Connections-Update_ENG.pdf
it is hell on earth. accutane effexor finasteride. cured it all, male model. still hurt... how? made up pandemic and wasting my time, sick again. so stupid.
Dr. Anna is a genuine, morally good and ethically sound human being.
Don't be intimidated by people please stay on board with depresvtibing, and save lives.
Gratitude Josef and for your brave work, speaking out Anna and continuing your duty in ‘first do no harm’.
In my experience this is also prevalent in Scotland.
I lost my son 3 years ago due to akathisia and have been researching since.
I too questioned the harms done and experienced gaslighting due to questioning and the immediate push to take psych meds when all I needed was to be heard and vitamin D supplements. Furthermore I am sickened being aware off too many autistic children automatically given meds when lifestyle support is what is needed.
Awareness Education is desperately needed for the public to allow true choice and without a doubt re-education for doctors! Do doctors also need a few lessons to understand what first do no harm means!
Terrible that this happened, Misty. Sympathy from Canada. My late partner had akathisia too among other extreme reactions; Dr. Peter Breggin is an expert; it is comforting to read him and the few others; and this forum where people know exactly what you are speaking about. Many people are so trusting of the system they doubt us and brush off our observations and lived experiences.
So, so sorry that this happened to your son, and to you.
In Australia, if you go to a psychiatrist they have to give you a script so they get paid
My friend went to a psychiatrist within 10 minutes of seeing her gave a script of Valium, and Anitdeppressants, five minutes after she was out the bill was four hundred ten dollars, For 15 minutes. Seriously this is absolutely a crime .
100% ... and HOW do we stop this practice where people are told "trust the expert" and "trust the system"
Yes it is ! in the meantime the big pharma people are in bed with the governments and vise versa . Its a system of such corruption . Completely Criminal .
In Canada, it is the same. 5-10 min appointments.
@@drannamd The Mental Health Committees of State Legislatures need to grill Psychiatrists - about what they are effectively doing to people, and why they should be credentialed !
@@olgalyubechanskaya7427 in BC nurses, naturopaths and pharmacists can prescribe. Nurses can inject depot antipsychotics in the community…unsupervised. Police can arrest for the nurses and psychiatrists.
I’m in Canada and navigating duloxetine tapering and withdrawals after it became toxic for me to take. Doctors told me it wasn’t the medications making me sick. It most definitely was and I believe I may have died if I didn’t take my healthcare into my own hands.
It’s been 2+years and I likely have another year; I’m hoping all my health issues clear up once completely done. I’m so glad I found your channel. This is a lonely journey when no one believes you.
Well said roxpick... I hope you keep records and a journal because when hopefully normality will return for you... physical and mental health you may write a book or do something on social media to help others... when I tried to tell people what was going on with my veteran pal no-one would listen because his behavior was so deranged when he was over reacting to a slew of meds about which many academic studies have been published. He finally got a sensible doc after twenty years of hell not just for the vet but for his family and friends but it was really too late and he took his own life. I noticed that when he reacted to one of the five meds he had been on... they would attribute that to PTSD!! which he had for sure. I read Dr. Breggins Driving Soldiers Crazy with Psych Meds. And as the guest says you cannot stop a drug overnight... I would never suggest this to anyone and the meds can be useful if used the right way. I want to see that patients be hospitalized when a new med is introduced or a dosage changed... the docs DO say CALL if there is a PROBLEM. However a person in an over-excited state as I witnessed after my friends took a newly prescribed anti depressant.... did not understand they were in trouble. One lovely brilliant academic gal ran round town naked after taking an anti depressant for the first time in her life. The police, carrying a blanket had trouble catching up with her; she was so embarrassed afterward but it had in no way been her fault. I asked an American doc if this girls very fit state as an athlete = Olympic level = could have been a factor as she would have metabolized the anti depressant differently say than an overweight sedentary person. He said yes indeed that might have been a factor. So the way meds are prescribed and what kind of individual health is involved.... should be looked at. Friends and families should be cautioned to watch for reactions and have a number to call if there is trouble. No one returned my calls for help. As with the girl athlete; the police were the ones to help; in the case of my friend the cops were terrific; one had had ptsd himself. But such episodes must - I think - add to the trauma for which the patient originally sought relief.
😢 horrible, no one to beleive and cannot expain ❤

So many truths here...thank you for sharing.
I am helped a little bit to think this now may be going to be heard.
How long l don't know...at least we have a started.
I am afraid for how many we have lost to these dangerous medications, or at least dangerous how they are prescribed without thorough investigation.
I believe you. I just went through something similar.

Funded and orchestrated by the BC government.
I worked in a drug rehab from 2021 to 2023. Several, if not, hundreds of patients took abilify and abilify injections...this only confirms what I feared and the sad part is, while I had theories of medication mismanagement, my coworkers thought I was acting crazy. KEEP SPEAKING OUT!

Family member was injected with 400mg Abilify Maintena. He suffered severe akethesia, hardly slept, didn’t eat, didn’t talk for 2 weeks and was then arrested. The doctors should be in prison. They harm patient’s lives - ruin them- with no accountability. I can’t stand all the harm!

The motive for this mass poisoning is hence racism.
A friend of mine had the shock treatments back in the 70s as a homeless teen ,it's destroyed his mind
And the problem is also that the 8-12 "therapeutic treatment sessions" with Electroconvulsive Therapy are used last resort on people prescribed pseudoscientific cocktails of prescribed and injected medications, neuroleptics, SSRI's, benzodiazepines, anticholinergics and stimulants. Seizure threshold high and machines are not FDA or Health Canada approved. ECT is a lucrative business for anesthesia, psychiatry and "facilitates hospital discharge" with zero thought to long term outcomes. www.madinamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/3Castleman_2018_Expert-Report.pdf

Love this talk !! I have been on SSRs for 15 years on/ off of Venlafaxine 225 mg for depression after a Trauma involving Police breaking my knee then hospital covering up and after full knee replacement etc I was then misdiagnosed with a huge P/E ( I was sure it was my recorded back problems so I have come off these meds!! omg the withdrawal is a nightmare Vertigo & tinnitus made me have to take it but im on a lower dose . I am sure they do not warrant withdrawal ...I am cutting myself down now !! Thanks for your honesty
Did you get vertigo and dizziness while trying to come off? I have been completely debilitated with constant vertigo and balance issues trying to taper as well. Have you had any improvements over time?
Hey Linda God Bless your perseverance; this is an enormous challenge. I have tinnitus; many theories but no certain cause can be identified... when it is at its worst my memory is at its worst. A real curse and the memory loss can be confused with dementia in older adults... My late b.f. was on Benzos from 1985 and suffered tinnitus from that date. One specialist links the two; however I have it without exposure to meds; it just happened... I will say it happened around the time of a severe shock... so (just a wild guess) could the brain perceive a medication as a shock... I have zero medical training so just asking questions as it is such an awful thing to live with. I met another elderly lady who has a device attached to her ear prescribed by an audiologist and she swears by it; I will soon see a specialist too and see what they can prescribe. Sometimes the tinnitus just vanishes; gosh i wish mine would go away. i think of my poor veteran pal and how he would wag his head side to side, gritting his teeth; so disturbed by the unending buzzing in his ears.
@@elizabethabbott2982 Tinnitus is caused by damage to the nerve hairs in the ear. It can be caused by medication if the medication intrupts, or causes dysfunction of that part of the nervous system. For example I was Rx'd Lyrica (pregabapentin) for chronic pain. I recieved no relief until my dose was raised to a stupid high dose. As well as other side effects, I began losing my hearing that started with a significant worsening of my pre existing low grade tinnitus. It did reverse and hearing return, and the tinnitus returned to just the low grade noise I have had all along. It took about 3 & half weeks to totaly reverse the side effects. This as well as being put on countless antidepressants that didn't help, but gave me bad side effects is why I refuse to continue to allow my doctor to bully into trying every single antidepressant before trying something different. He doesn't like that I won't continue the insanity, but I have been medically injured several times, which counts as medical assult because I was bullied & forced into the "treatments" & I refuse to allow it to happen again.
Linda you are fantastic! Having gone through all you have you are tough and right on the ball about what is going on. You are a good spokeswoman on the subject.
Keep going and don't give up.❤
This is nothing less than Pharmacological Straight Jacketing. Nursing homes use Abilify to straight jacket their residents. They also use Seroquel and Risperidone.
My whole life was shut down by psychiatry. I got ensnared in it at age 31, having some suffering from trauma, and was drugged up, first antidepressants then antipsychotics together in the ubiquitous for that decade "cocktail". Drugged up, dumbed down and numbed out. Weight gain ruined my body, SSRI's took away my sexuality, Zyprexa made me get diabetic, latuda, seroquel, geodon, Risperdal, Lexapro, Cymbalta, gabapentin -- thrown together and mixed and stripped away (called tweaking, as if they cared about my care). I have probably been in Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome for the better part of 37 years drugged, because there was no tapering or thinking about possible withdrawal -- it was just change, stop, start, switch, remove, add. Of course there was not a thought or a word given to ever getting off medication, which is nothing less than neuroleptic poison. I lost the ability to think as a self directed individual, I had a decade where I couldn't read (thanks Zoloft), I couldn't set goals, make plans, establish a career, find and maintain loving relationships. Psychiatry is a desolate wasteland. I saw my childbearing years leave, never had the chance to marry or have my own house, home and family. This is what seeking "help " from psychiatry and the mental health system will get you. It's too late for me, but if you're young and still can, run for your life.
@@janebethshimon sorry to hear.... Very tragic.... I was referring to nursing homes for the elderly... I have relatives who passed away from polypharmacy.....how so few speak of the horrors of the psychiatric industry is evidence that bad is the default in life....

@@janebethshimon basically the same story here.
@@NadineAnderson-z1f I´m very sorry to hear your stories. My mother committed suicide after getting ECT in a mental hospital here in sweden. I do not believe electricity to the brain is a cure. To me it is only crazy. My mother got progessively worse of the ECT treatments she received. I was a child of10 yrs at the time but as young as I was, I understod and I felt sick when I saw her getting worse and worse. Of course at the time I didn´t know what they where doing to her. I lost her there and then because her brain was damaged, a few years before she died. Nothing can ever change my mind about psykiatry. It was a slow kill in front of my eyes. I really hope that all the people that are hurt by medications and other extremely dangerous treatments get well again. My heart goes out to you. And of course I love what dr Anna and Josef stand for. They are mentally healthy, I´m not so sure about there colleges that cause damage to people.They could use psychiatry themselves. No one in their right mind can do what many of them do.
She must have been on medications before ECT, as it is the last crazy thing they try. And I could see that she did not do well on anything psychiatry did for her.
literally got out of the legit hospital yesterday. My heart stopped for a short period of time coming off of anti psychotics. I had a BPM of 180 at rest and was a few seconds from dying. Now I need a cardiologist. It was 10 months after a 3 month injection. Been on them for 7 years forced. Called the "mental health" center. Only to be told they didn't think it was related to the withdrawal and they wouldn't help me taper. Literally been feeling the movement disorders falling off my body and getting my emotions back and an almost cardiac arrest in a perfectly healthy 32yo around this time is disregarded. 😢 The most recent on was the lowest dose of 3 month invega. It was forced treatment from the beginning. Got dragged in for despair over a relationship. Almost ended up dead at 32
It is real and quite terrifying.
And they do tell you that it you not the drugs...
I am so sorry for you.
I am trying to find my way out of this night mare...trusted my psychiatrist...bad mistake...
I don't know how l am going to rectify it....but l will if it kills me!
Holy cow. It’s criminal - I can’t think of another way of seeing it. Criminal.
It's unbelievable what these people are doing. The whole system is corrupt. Wish you the best of luck getting better💪❤
"Why are they so dismissive of people"?
Well, have you thought of looking at personnality disorders amongst leaders (figures of authority, CEOs, etc...)?
Exactly.
I am convinced a multitude of clinicians and psychologists are narcissists. I am pretty sure of this as I have a few traits of this myself. But also borderline, which meant I doubted my gut feeling and trusted in authority (once again) that it would be safe and okay if I stopped. Never again.
@@TheDavveponken That makes so much sense! There's definitely some degree of narcissism, not sure if it meets the clinical criteria. It's so scary...

im getting scared of this world ......
You should interview a patient who experienced severe negative reactions on invega the stories are pretty shocking
Long acting antipsychotics are overprescribed and overinjected "for convenience" in autism, foster care and vulnerable people who have "a voice but no choice in their therapeutic treatment plan"...truly disgusting practice.
Doctor please do this
More than that. Even when you say that you are allergic to it, they are doing it forcefully! In Canada.
I was a patient in a psychiatric hospital once and I started to have exactly the same thought like you: these doctors would NEVER take themselves what they are prescribing to their patients. They way they were prescribing highly potent psychotropic drugs on the daily seemed incredible to me. When I got there and other patients told me they were on like 5 medications at the same time (and I guess that‘s not even much) my jaw dropped!
The Australian system is the same. They've almost killed me this last seven years with these barbaric compulsory treatments.
But they don't care. The health minister's office duly informed me that the term 'do no harm', is not recognised in the mental health ACT.
They're ruining lives the world over. 😢
Wait so I thought the abilify was a volunteer study. The patients had no right to refuse? That’s really scary
Under current British Columbia legislation if a patient is under the Infants Act, Mental Health Act or Adult Guardianship Act, they have no right to refuse and no one can act in their behalf. To ensure they stay in the Phase 4 Clinical Trial more drugs are added to treat the side effects of depot Abilify Maintena 400 mg IM injections. This is very bad medicine and called polypharmacy and prescribing cascades.
It's psychiatry, everything is by FORCE. U have no choice.
and that is what desperately needs to change in British Columbia...The legislation and Mental Health Act of BC@@singstreetcar5881
@@singstreetcar5881What do you mean 'everything'? My experience is that they can't force you to take anything, except if they believe you will harm yourself or others. That you don't necessarily (or usually) have many good options being treated in the public sector, yes, but everything by force??
@@anteg9084 which country do u live in? America? u have rights in these developed countries. So many 3rd world countries, u don't have rights. U will be forced to take psychiatry medication because u refused to obey ur abusive father or because u refuse to go to church. Psychiatry is very dangerous in these places.
My doctor tried scaring me with no right to refuse even though I've never had violent episodes and told me they'd help with "voices". I called him on it saying "who ever said anything about voices? I've always maintained that its just me up there". I was not properly informed about previous medications' side effects and developed a permanent condition. Canadian mental health care feels like a trap
My old GP got so frustrated with my insistence, he told me to 'forking sit down!'
What the heck, I can't sit down nor can I sit still.. I'm so sorry you've had a bad experience
Psychiatric care seems like a big trap...you go in there trusting they no there stuff!
Unfortunately it seems to be get you out of there quickly, don't ask about previous life history.
I can't even go on.
Just watched this a second time as the first vid was cut off. I’m in Canada, and have a severely injured daughter as a direct result of psychotropics. She is too ill to travel to Pittsburg, or to try to get across the border, but I would move mountains for her to get trusted care from Dr Josef, if possible. On the other hand, as much as I can appreciate Dr Anna’s passion and wonderful intentions, based on this interview, I hardly think I would get a word in edgewise for a collaborative effort. Sadly, not a good fit for us. Will continue to search for good care in Canada. All the best to Dr Anna; much respect for speaking out and for all efforts to help.
Dr. David Healy & Dr. Joanna Montcreiff
I have read Dr. Peter Breggin and he is on the ball; he and his wife really care; he wrote Driving Soldiers Crazy with Psych Meds and i have seen exactly what the title implies... I think Dr. P. B. has some work with civilians as well.
Dr Anna has morals and integrity. She did the right thing standing up for this injustice.
This doctor is describing torture. Pure torture. I can only think these "doctors" are grotesquely sadistic.
Courageous leadership speaking out
BINGO! It’s agitation 3 YEARS AFTER WITHDRAWAL!
Thank you Dr. Witt-Dörring for your great work. This was a very interesting interview!
Thank you Dr Anna ,and Dr Josef for speaking up. We need more good doctors like you for pointing out what is wrong with our medical healthcare today.
I am glad there are medical professionals with a good conscience and big heart. I sense changes are taking place the healthcare industry and other industries for better. We are waking up! I applaud Dr. Anna for her courage and conscience! I am excited that we live in this exciting time in the history!
I hope and pray you are right. And that it won't be too late for a sibling. 😥
@@naenae9064Just like not all foods are created equal, I am sure there are compassionate medical professionals out there. Keep persisting and praying! It may take us longer to discover those great healers. Perhaps, you may want to share what type of medical professionals you're looking for so other caring UA-cam fellows can give you some ideas. From what I have watched and listened so far to many health videos, loving emotional support is extremely important so you are doing the right thing. I would consider watching Bruce Lipton, Anita Moorjani, or Dr. Joe Dispenza for more insights, Anita Moorjani was able to heal her stage 4 cancer from her NDE. We all are a community. If we take care one another, we care for ourselves! Peace & blessings to all!
I stopped relying on the so called health care system , Detox centers, rehabs , AA ,NA & CA and gave my life to Jesus. I've been off all drugs,alcohol, pharmaceuticals and cigarettes for 3 yrs , no cravings since 2 months sober and all obsessions are gone. Praise God. I'm so glad you're speaking out. So many lives are being ruined by the system
That is fantastic. I have found diet helps; gave up sugar and use only honey or pure maple syrup or Stevia.
Amen. HE can heal all of our needs.
Realizing the license to practice in a corrupt system is not a license worth having is a crucial step in opposing draconian totalitarianism. If even 1/3 of doctors had integrity and actually put their careers on the line to maintain the right to do good instead of only doing harm for profit, we would not be where we are now. Forced medical treatment with the blessing of the state is pretty much the ultimate evil, I'd rather get blown up than be tortured by psychopaths
You are so right!
Don't forget how much damage jabs antibiotics also did and of course anesthesia. 95% of all illness is caused by pHarma
I am from Poland i went through hell with doctors, where can i find People like you?
Znalazłaś.
Absolutely shocking somebody needs to be held accountable for all the harm and damage these drugs are doing to people. It seems psychiatrists are a law to themselves. God bless you for making this video please keep up the good work 🙏
Cirpofloxacin and metronidazole ruined my life!
Go Dr.Anna! I am from the prairies of Canada and your exactly right! Keep fighting! ❤
My beautiful life as a yoga teacher helping people out for over 5 years has been destroyed by Abilify within a month just because I had anxiety due to a hard recent abusive situation. They murdered me... in a month 😔
Psychiatrists destroy a lot of peoples lives. Im sorry to hear that.
The tipping point is almost here - thank you for the work you do! These horrific providers (esp in the US) have subjugated themselves to a system that keeps income streams coming for everyone - on the backs of suffering vulnerable patients. Cannot wait to see the universe deliver some very poetic consequences and lessons for these doctors.
Perfectly stated...when you are suffering because of there negligence....and they just walk away...no responsibility...it truly is 😫 sick!!!
Sometimes it's to hard to bare the truth . Thank you . Angels do walk amongst us 😇
Thank You for speaking out. Having family members on Abilify and Lamotrigine Friends on SSRI. This is criminal! Let’s all pass this forward on all the Social Media available.Please share!!
Abilify almost killed me. 3 yrs of akathesia of some sort. Shits poison. I feel I died for 3 years though. Almost like my soul was taken away and given back.
These are the types of doctors we needed during covid
Speaking of metabolism of psych drugs contingent on genetical disposition. Does anyone know of interaction of psych drugs with the acid reducing drug omeprazol prescribed for acid reflux. I took this while taking Ritalin and I immediately experienced what I believe was neurotoxicity, within a few days. I've read about another case reported here in Sweden, but no more. That drug, omeprazol, would affect metabolism I think.
That is a real nightmare what they do, thank God you’re here, i tought i was gettom worse when they said im wrong telling its harmful
Awesome interview, gained a lot of insight watching it. Thank God for people like Dr. Josef and Dr Anna, and their willingness to speak out publically, despite whatever repercussions they may face.
You are a brave 👨Man!
Thankyou 😊
Well, I am most certainly being silenced by our doctors here.
You both are really saving many lifes. Mine inclusive. Even though i,m not there yet. My life was, and still is destroyed by psychofarmaseuticals. I had long term withdraw effects and hell expiriances. Still trying to deal with that
Amazing show.
It was hard for him to finish his thoughts!
I feel that the lady is actually quite traumatised by what she knows and has seen .
Which is so understandable.
Yup and then they send u too drug rehab acting & telling u ur withdrawld are "your fault" no accountability w the drs AT ALL!! I saw someone having a seizure while in the ward for withdrawals & were treated so badly!! All is a shame
dr anna knows what she's talking about
Great lady. Some people study medicine bc they want to help people, others do it bc they want to play god(they need help🙄)
I just have to watch all of this videos now,it is mind-blowing. I've been always against drugs just out of personal opinion, but here's proof I was right.
Exactly, absolutely insane!
They create the need for an alternative like abilify by prescribing lithium PMS rather than Lithium APO that has far fewer if any side effects. I lost a decade of my life due to abilify, i look back and wonder who that person was and i continue to try to piece together a life now at 51
Thank you both for helping us. We need and love you
You two are absolutely inspirational! Thankyou for broaching the topic and teaching others seriously about the importance of de-prescribing.
Great video. There’s a technical problem with dr wittdoering sounding too quiet compared to the Canadian doctor. It’s really hard to listen to with headphones. When I turn up the volume to hear dr wittdoering her volume is way too loud.
Thank you Dr. Anna for speaking out on this. It is so very important.
www.bcss.org/wp-content/uploads/resources/Otsuka-Abilify-Maintena-Expert-Connections-Update_ENG.pdf and all for the "usual honorariums" and pharma kickbacks.
I had no idea things were this bad in Canada. I’ve never even heard of some of these treatments in America. And the fact that they are forced treatments makes it even scarier. I’ve been trying to get completely off meds for over ten years and it’s impossible to find any help with tapering.
Canada especially in western Canada has some of the most insane and twisted psychiatrists in the world. They force and drug anyone they think they can for any excuse and they do it for power control and money.
I didn't think shock therapy was even used any more.
When a couple of weeks ago I mentioned to my bf, almost like in passing, about ECT he said “well we don’t do that anymore” - he actually didn’t know that it is very much done to this day! And he’s not the average person that may not know all that much about psychiatry and psychology; on the contrary he has both personal experience and has worked in the field years ago. He asked me if I was joking. (Sweden.)
It is absolutely still being used! 🥵
This happened to me in Australia just recently..and I was so sick..It was so toxic I nearly didn’t make it through the night after the injection.
Thank you, thank you. I found your channel while researching how to taper off Mirtazapine, prescribed by my doctor's physicians assistant for serious difficulty sleeping. Apparently M. is a favorite, even with its weird side effects, for "helping" the elderly who have insomnia. I've been on it for 4 or 5 years and my doctor strongly urged me not to discontinue it. The onset of my insomnia was directly after menopause. I'd been on HRT off and on; it was the only thing that helped me to sleep normally (I'm 83, very healthy). But the flawed womens study that established the concern about elevated risk of breast cancer, etc., decades ago is still the source of many doctors' advice. That is why I consented to take Mirtazapine--I thought I had no other option, as they refused to prescribe HRT. Now I've learned that ditching it is going to be tough. I've been on Effexor or the like for 25 years and am wondering now if I should also try to get off the SSRI.
My husband is on mirtazapine and he keeps having dizzy spells my son keeps telling him it’s the mirtazapine. I don’t know I do know it’s not just a sleeping pill but an antidepressant!
@@Aem640 I have not had dizzy spells but have balance issues if I get up in the night for the bathroom. The leg cramps are the worst, usually occurring toward morning. "Dry mouth" is a documented side effect, but it feels more like major dehydration.
I was put on abilify for major depressive disorder. It was HORRIBLE. I stopped after a few short weeks, took about 7 or 8 months to get rid of the side effects.
It’s been 3 years since I took medicine! I’m STILL not who I once was!😟
Thank you both
Dr Anna, you are amazing thank you! Also, pease let Dr Josef finish speaking.
I would guess Dr Anna is traumatised by what she has witnessed and desperately needs someone to listen to the horror stories she has witnessed.
thank you you are a hero
Thank you for this important interview. I'm sure the UA-cam "Algorithm" is flashing red, given this is in direct opposition to the benefit of the corporations that control everything.
www.bcss.org/wp-content/uploads/resources/Otsuka-Abilify-Maintena-Expert-Connections-Update_ENG.pdf Yes, no drug company sponsorship here. Wonder how they sleep at night hurting vulnerable people for the "usual honorariums" and knowing the drug already had almost 3000 lawsuits under Bristol Myers Squibb? panoramasupport.ca/www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-drug-safety-communication-fda-warns-about-new-impulse-control-problems-associated-mental-health
Thank you a lot dr Joseph for this conversation and dr Anna for your courage. I am a doctor and when I had troubles with mental health I was treated unproperly, now I am trying to get off medication and your videos help me so much ❤
Brilliant. Brave & dedicated
My son needs help off psych meds and out of psychiatry.
Fascinating discussion. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Doctor. She is so right on.
Thank you for posting about LAI.
Thank you for your bravery most people in your position woudn't.
Great interview, thank you 🙏🏻
Proof is the problem for the concerned, but the lack of is inspiration for the profiteers.
I was presscribed abilify pills . i took a fourth of a pill as a test and nearly had a heart attack and was in full panic attack for 2 hours my boyfriend took it and became suicidal
Tracking ?…. This is truly scary
Are there any U.S. Attorneys working on cases like these drug stacking cases?
Thank you for putting that info out there.My son has been in the hospital 3 times for schizophrenia,he will not take his meds and shots were his next option.Soi guess I will continue taken care of him until there is more studies on this,what has our health industry come to .He said the meds made him sick and they had worms in them .God bless and thank you.
they poisoned my life because I sought caring counseling after being sexually assaulted. Most shrinks are monsters.
This happened to me‼️The combination of drugs changed my life in horrible ways! I wound up in a doctor prescribed drug-induced manic episode!
Thanks SO MUCH for your knowledge 😮😂😊 so good to know.. WoW.
No, until I can walk into the ER and tell them I got a injured by a medication and not be looked at like I’m crazy, it’s okay to disparage colleagues.
Besides, inducing akathisia is the equivalent of inducing brain injury. That might be okay if you are using Narcan to induce withdrawal akathisia in someone dying of an opiate overdose, but someone better be dying to risk using a drug notorious for causing it. If the doctor had to pay for the trust cost their medications caused, they’d have to pay people a million dollars for each year of their suffering. They’d think twice before using akathisia causing drugs.
First, they’d have to TAUGHT which ones do it and how to identify it when it happens. Akathisia is so god damn obvious once you understand it. I couldn’t get doctors to diagnose it with me showing them why I have it and telling them how I got it. Until that changes, disparage away.
12:22 “I think that people need to be really vocal about this because it’s in plain sight. You can go along in your life not realizing how twisted it is until it visits you.”
It is totally twisted.
