Can mental health issues be cured with a pill?

The Same Drugs

About this episode

Dr. Roger McFillin is a Clinical Psychologist, writer, speaker, and the host of the Radically Genuine podcast. Earlier this month, Roger’s YouTube channel mysteriously disappeared after he posted a video challenging the prescribing of antidepressants to youth. After some high profile Twitter users spoke out about the apparent censorship, YouTube restored the channel, but why was it removed in the first place? On the podcast, Meghan Murphy speaks with Roger about the efficacy of drugs claiming to treat depression and ADHD, the truth about these diagnoses, what some better ways might be to improve your mental health, and why so many are inclined to shut down these conversations.
