Episode 2: Prescription Addiction!!

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the complex world of prescription anti-depressants, exploring the often misunderstood and controversial topic of prescription addiction. I break down the science behind these medications, revealing the untruths and misconceptions surrounding their addictive nature. This episode challenges the widely accepted "Serotonin Myth," which suggests that low serotonin levels are the sole cause of depression. Join me as we explore the realities of antidepressants, the science of serotonin, and the truth about how these drugs really affect mental health. It’s a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity on this critical issue in mental health.

This week Marty discusses his own and other Mens Lived Experiences of Childhood Trauma, the reasons men won't talk and the kind of experience they can expect to receive if they do.
