381: VR Vintage: The Truth and Theory Behind Antidepressants

381: VR Vintage: The Truth and Theory Behind Antidepressants

May 3, 2024 By Mikayla Hyde

This vintage episode of Vitality Radio originally aired on October 16th, 2021 but the information is still accurate and important. On this episode, Jared focuses on the theory behind antidepressants. Are they effective? Around 13-17% of American adults are currently taking antidepressants. Jared deep dives into the research specifically conducted by Harvard Medical School researcher Irving Kirsch. These studies detail that antidepressants function as a placebo in the vast majority of people. Jared explains why these important studies show that the problematic diagnosis framework, unethical pharma companies + broken FDA approval process, are not actually helping people with their mental and emotional health.
