What Pregnant Women Need to Know About the New Vaccine Advice!Are you questioning is it safe to take COVID vaccine in pregnancy or confused by the health policy reversal on COVID-19 vaccine in pregnancy? This episode tackles the seismic shift in COVID vaccine recommendations for pregnant women and healthy children. We unravel the science, politics, and medical uncertainty behind the U.S. health policy reversal, leaving millions wondering about vaccine safety and public health trust.We dive into why the CDC, ACOG, WHO, TGA, and ATAGI initially pushed routine COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women, including Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines post-emergency use authorisation, despite clinical trials excluding pregnant women. We examine observational studies that filled data gaps, linking COVID-19 to preterm birth risks and stillbirth risks, and questions why vaccine mandates leaned on limited evidence. Now, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. influencing US government policy via ACIP, the shift to case by case risk assessment over blanket policies raises eyebrows. Is this evolving science or a response to the vaccine narrative and antidepressant controversy?This episode explores informed consent, individualised care, and the need for clear risk communication. We highlight how COVID vaccine in pregnancy and breast feeding decisions, including covid 19 vaccine in pregnancy and first dose, demand transparency—especially for diverse communities seeking answers, like those asking is it safe to take covid vaccine in pregnancy in Telugu. We call for rebuilding public trust by admitting medical uncertainty and prioritizing honesty over rigid vaccine mandates.A must-watch for parents, healthcare providers, or anyone seeking evidence-based clarity on COVID-19 vaccine policies, this episode breaks down vaccine safety, pregnancy risks, and the public health trust crisis.

Are Antidepressants Forever? Understanding Safe Discontinuation and Deprescribing

Are you—or someone you care about—part of the millions of people taking ssri antidepressants to manage anxiety disorder or depression? You’re not alone.

In this eye-opening episode of Cracking Addiction, we dive deep into why Australia leads the world in antidepressant use, what long-term ssri use really means for your body and mind, and how you can break free when those prescriptions turn into an endless habit. Wondering what do ssris do to your brain? I’ve got the answers you need.Using real facts and expert insights, I break down the surprising rise in ssri antidepressants prescriptions—mostly written by GPs—and explore why so many people stay on these meds for years, even when they might not need them. I clarify the difference between true relapse and ssri withdrawal symptoms, revealing how the ssri mechanism of action makes stopping more complex than it seems. Are ssris bad for you in the long run? This episode digs into the ssri experience to find out. Most research focuses on the short-term effects of antidepressants, leaving gaps in understanding what happens after years or decades. Many stay on them, influenced by the ssri chemical imbalance theory, yet face ssri side effects like lethargy, weight gain, emotional numbness, and sexual dysfunction—sometimes lingering even after quitting. If ssri anxiety or other challenges sound familiar, you’ll want to hear this. Here’s the good news: I walk you through Australia’s groundbreaking “Release” initiative—a step-by-step, evidence-based plan for tapering down ssri use. It’s designed to help you or your patients safely reduce and stop long-term antidepressants without fear, confusion, or the dread of taking ssri again due to returning symptoms. Whether you’ve just started ssris, have years of ssri experience, or are a healthcare professional seeking the latest ssri news, this video offers practical advice and hope.
