Professor Jon Jureidini is a child psychiatrist who leads the Critical and Ethical Mental Health research group at Adelaide University in Australia. His forensic deconstruction of industry-sponsored clinical trials has exposed how pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, employ ghostwriters, and cultivate academic figureheads to create an illusion of scientific consensus around their products. Prof. Jureidini has revealed how medications prescribed to our most vulnerable populations—children and adolescents—gained approval based on studies that were fundamentally misrepresented in the scientific literature. In his groundbreaking book, 'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research,' co-authored with Leemon McHenry, he systematically demonstrates how commercial interests have hijacked the evidence base that clinicians rely on, compromising patient care in the process. His work raises profound questions about the integrity of published research and challenges us to reconsider the foundations of modern medicine. Jureidini reveals shocking findings about the landmark 'Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS) study that's been used to justify prescribing antidepressants to teenagers—despite evidence showing a five-fold increase in suicidal events. With nearly 20% of adolescent girls now taking SSRIs, this conversation exposes the profit-driven deception that puts millions of developing brains at risk while pharmaceutical companies continue to thrive on what Jureidini calls "the illusion of evidence-based medicine

Behind every psychiatric label lies a question: Is this person mentally ill, or just misunderstood by medicine? When Dr. Kaycee Bills, a social work professor with a PhD, experienced a medical emergency from low blood pressure, she was handcuffed, sedated, and locked in a psychiatric ward instead of receiving proper care. Her crime? Being a woman whose scattered Adderall pills looked "suspicious" to authorities. This shocking personal account reveals how women are systematically disbelieved by the medical establishment—diagnosed with depression and anxiety at twice the rate of men, while serious physical conditions go untreated for years. Join Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Bills as they expose the dark underbelly of psychiatric holds, forced medication, and how the mental health system often traumatizes those it claims to help.

Reposting this important episode from 2 years ago. The diagnosis of bipolar disorder is a modern concept. Manic depressive episodes have historically been rare. Once recognized in approximately 1 in every 5,000 people, it has since ballooned to a nearly 5% prevalence rate over the last 50 years. Further expansion into children and the creation of Bipolar II places more people at risk of misdiagnosis. 

On today’s podcast we discuss bipolar disorder.

If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're 

considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.
