Dr. Peter Breggin: What Is Medication Spellbinding?

In this 13-minute video, psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin describes some of the ways that people's behaviour and thinking change when they take psychiatric medication.

Dr Breggin knows his stuff and I think he's really seen the horrors of what psyche drugs do to ppl.  He said he never prescribes psyche meds to his patients, even those who are schizophrenic.  He made a comment once about benzo's saying they affect memory and muscles.  Just a short comment he made on a talk radio show about benzo's.

Yes, and I'm glad that he's speaking up about what he knows.

Thanks so much for this, Lapis!! Another hero of mine!!

You're welcome, Terry38! There are some great people out there with good heads and good hearts, and Dr. Peter Breggin is definitely one of them.

Dr. Breggin was on a Dateline episode a few weeks ago and testified in a murder trial that the guy committed all his acts because he was messed up from being on too many psyche meds and was insane.  The jury didn't buy it and he's spending life in jail and probably on more psyche meds.  If he would have been declared insane, he would be put back on the psyche meds anyway. 

I just saw this video for the first time.  I didn't know there was a word for it.  Medication spellbinding.
