Cherry-Picked Science? Inside the Antidepressant Trial Controversy | Dr Joanna Moncrieff Part 4

This podcast honours the NHS: its people, its purpose, its power. The Visionary Podcast is Sponsored by Dietapplements – Your Pure, Clean-label Supplements: https://www.dietapplements.com/ Dr Joanna Moncrieff - Psychiatrist & Professor of Critical & Social Psychiatry at University College London Dr Joanna Moncrieff is a practising psychiatrist, author, and academic at University College London. As a founding member of the Critical Psychiatry Network, her work challenges the widely accepted "disease-centred" view of mental health, the idea that psychiatric drugs simply fix chemical imbalances.

With decades of clinical experience across London, she aims to radically re-evaluate how society conceptualises and manages emotional distress.
