Summary
Antidepressants are NOT what the pharmaceutical companies say they are. Dr. Kelly Brogan, author of A Mind of Your Own: What Women Can Do About Depression That Big Pharma Can't, reveals what the scientific literature really says about antidepressants and what really causes depression.
In today's sessions you'll learn:
* What your gut, thyroid, blood sugar, birth control, cholesterol, and Tylenol usage have to do with your mood.
* The BIG problem with 50% of all scientific literature … and what it may be doing to your doctor's ability to make decisions and your ability to choose.
* The number of studies proving that depression is a serotonin deficiency. (Hint: you can count them on no fingers.)
* What the pharmaceutical industry's own studies say about how antidepressants work and the power of BELIEF.
* How antidepressants actually make depression worse (and potentially permanent) long-term.
* The "Great Psychiatric Pretender" most docs never look for.

| 0:00.0 | It's session number 008 with Dr. Kelly Brogan, author of a mind of your own. |
| 0:05.3 | Here's what's coming up. |
| 0:06.6 | Because when you start to take in these truths, you start to enter like a freefall. |
| 0:12.0 | And you start to see that all of these institutions, whether it's, you know, government health agencies, |
| 0:18.2 | whether it's professional institutions like the AMA or APA, or whether it's pharmaceutical |
| 0:22.8 | companies that, you know, seem to care about our well-being, that all of these are, you know, |
| 0:29.1 | entities are engaged together in sort of like a profit-sharing enterprise. People reporting on the |
| 0:35.3 | research and sometimes conducting the research are the people who stand to profit from a certain representation of the science. |
| 0:53.9 | Yo, what's up y'all? Welcome back to the sessions. I'm your host, Sean Croxton. Thanks so much for tuning in. Today's session, it's kind of old school. It is pretty much like an episode of Underground Wellness Radio, my previous podcast, and I have been trying to stay away from health topics for a little |
| 1:12.7 | while. But my good friend, and just really one of my favorite people in the whole entire world, |
| 1:19.1 | Dr. Kelly Brogan wrote a really good book called A Mind of Your Own, and I had to have her on the |
| 1:24.6 | sessions to talk about it. And the book and this podcast is really like an expose on the serious problems that are |
| 1:33.4 | going on when it comes to research, especially when it comes to antidepressants. |
| 1:38.8 | There are so many people out there on antidepressants. |
| 1:41.7 | I was one of them. |
| 1:43.2 | And the people who are on them don't know what the |
| 1:46.4 | scientific research really says. All we know is what we learn in, you know, television commercials |
| 1:52.0 | and what we learn in the media. And there's so much more to it. I'm not sure if you've heard |
| 1:57.6 | the stories about me that they're posted on the underground wellness blog, but I did Prozac for a day. |
| 2:03.3 | Ten years ago, I was dealing with some serious social anxiety and depression, and it was the |
| 2:08.5 | worst experience, just that one day. |
| 2:10.6 | And it just had to do with me having just a crazy panic attack on the floor at the gym |
