Diane Stein CCHR Prescription for Violence

Diane Stein CCHR Prescription for Violence

Author: Joanie Sigal January 9, 2026 Duration: 22:49

What if the answer to stopping violence isn't what we've been told? This week, Diane Stein joins us to talk about the chilling documentary, Prescription for Violence. She's revealing the evidence that links mass shootings to dangerous psychiatric drugs. It is a side of the story the media rarely talks about, and once you hear it, you'll never look at the news the same way again

Is the medication meant to help us actually making the world more dangerous? Diane Stein is sounding the alarm on a major crisis. We're diving deep into the facts behind mass shootings and the powerful drugs found in the systems of the shooters. Diane breaks down the science and the cover-ups in a way that is easy to understand but impossible to forget. If you care about the safety of our schools and communities, you need to hear this.

Diane Stein accepted a leadership role at the Florida chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) in 2015. 

Nonpolitical and nonreligious, CCHR is an award-winning nonprofit in the area of mental health human rights and government relations whose mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health.

Since that time, she has worked to help restore human rights to the field of mental health and especially in the area of short-term emergency commitment. 

An experienced speaker who received certification on the Baker Act, Florida's mental health law, through the Department of Children and Families, Diane is sought after on topics ranging from involuntary psychiatric examination and mental health rights to the dangerous side effects of psychiatric medication.

As a Newsweek Expert, Diane is regularly interviewed by journalists and investigative reporters on emergency psychiatric holds including those involving children and the violation of parental and child rights under these circumstances.

Hosted by Joanie Sigal, The Addiction Podcast-Point of No Return is a raw and necessary conversation about substance use and the path out of it.
