Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring is a psychiatrist and former FDA researcher who has practiced privately and also conducted research for a major pharmaceutical company. He now runs an organization (Taper Clinic) that helps people get off antidepressant and antipsychotic medications.
This is how Dr. Josef explains this video: Americans are taking more psychiatric medications than ever, yet depression, disability, and suicide keep rising. In this video, I walk through the data behind today’s prescribing trends, explain why these drugs often stop working over time, and how tolerance and drug stacking make many people worse. I also take a hard look at psychotherapy and the limits of our insurance-driven mental health system. Finally, I lay out four evidence-based areas that actually improve mental health—and why real change requires more than another prescription.
Powerful Quote from the video: “Do you honestly think our brains are supposed to be on these powerful medications for years?”
