Dr. Peter Breggin - Patients take back their lives from psychiatric drugs

Dr. Peter Breggin - Patients take back their lives from psychiatric drugs

Author: Progressive Radio Network March 25, 2026 Duration: 57:00
Patients around the world have been discovering that the psychiatric drug their doctor or psychiatrist started them on years ago is now hijacking their lives, causing a plethora of unwanted side effects. For instance, antidepressant drugs have many potential damaging effects, including mania, violence, aggression, irritability, apathy, persistent sexual dysfunction, and a suppression of feelings of love. Antipsychotic drugs (now frequently prescribed as “sleep aids” and “antidepressants”) can cause cognitive dysfunction, including disabling “brain fog,” apathy, and physical disabilities, including the permanent movements of Tardive Dyskinesia and other debilitating conditions.

Tune in to The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour, a weekly conversation grounded in decades of psychiatric practice and a fundamental optimism about human potential. Hosted by Dr. Peter R. Breggin and presented by the Progressive Radio Network, this podcast moves beyond conventional mental health discussions to explore how we can build lives of meaning and resilience. Each episode is built on Dr. Breggin's core conviction that, despite challenges, every person has the capacity to create a marvelous life.
