Welcome to the Madden America Podcast, your source for science, psychiatry, and social justice.

Welcome to the Madden America podcast. My name is Brooks Seam, and I am the author of Maycaust Side Effects.

Today is completely different.

I'm sitting at my kitchen table surrounded by four titans in the world of psych drug withdrawal.

And we threw this together in the last 12 hours.

So there's very little agenda here today,

but we just felt like they're so,

it's so rare to get people all in one room

and to have a conversation.

And so often we say we should be recording this.

So I am here with David Antenuccio,

Angie Peacock, Kim Wittsack, and David Hewey,

who's all the way here from across the pond.

And we are just going to open up the conversation and see what happens.

Let's just have everybody go around quickly and just give a little quick introduction about who you are.

I'm David Antenucho. I'm a retired clinical psychologist. I worked for 24 years at the Veterans Administration for 32 years at the medical school here in about

and 40 years in private practice.

I've published a lot on studies that compare non-drug interventions for depression with antidepressants.

My name is Angie Peacock.

I am a thermal combat veteran.

My story of overmedication after trauma appears in the film Medicating Normal.

And now I coach full time.
