Author and journalist Robert Whitaker's groundbreaking research on psychiatry powerfully exposed the errors, deceptions, and harm caused by the mental health industry. Robert's popular books Mad in America and Anatomy of an Epidemic had a profound influence on Dr. Fred's own growing concerns and suspicions about the harmful roles of diagnosis and medications.

In this fascinating and eye-opening discussion, you will learn about:

• The fundamental problem with the psychiatric model that emerged in the 1980s
• Why "chemical imbalance" is a myth
• The perverse "benefits" of keeping the false narrative in place
• A simple insight from the Quakers with the power to revolutionize healthcare
• Dr. Fred's Be Excellent therapeutic model
