  • Rethinking Mental Health: What The Science Actually Says About Depression, The Side Effects of Antidepressants & Finding Balance with Professor Joanna Moncrieff #563

    Rethinking Mental Health: What The Science Actually Says About Depression, The Side Effects of Antidepressants & Finding Balance with Professor Joanna Moncrieff #563
    Jun 10 2025
    CAUTION: If you are taking antidepressants or any other psychiatric medication, do not stop or adjust your dosage without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional. Coming off these medications without proper guidance can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. Always seek professional advice before making changes to your treatment. Did you know that nearly one in five UK adults - and almost one in four women - are currently taking antidepressants? Yet according to my guest this week, the fundamental theory behind these prescriptions may be built on remarkably shaky ground. Joanna Moncrieff is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, consultant psychiatrist for the NHS, and the author of the groundbreaking book, Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth. In our thought-provoking conversation, Joanna explains how the widely accepted belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance or serotonin deficiency has little scientific evidence to support it. This theory, which became popularised in the 1990s through pharmaceutical industry marketing, has fundamentally changed how we view our emotions and mental health. Joanna and I discuss: Why the difference between antidepressants and placebos in clinical trials is just two points on a 54-point depression scale - a remarkably small difference that may not be clinically significant How the diagnosis of depression itself is subjective and based on criteria that Joanna describes as "completely made up", rather than objective biological markers The concerning side effects of SSRIs that are often underreported - including emotional numbness, sexual dysfunction that can persist even after stopping medication, and in some cases, an increase in suicidal thoughts How pharmaceutical marketing campaigns in the 1990s fundamentally changed our cultural understanding of depression from a natural human response to life circumstances to a "chemical imbalance" requiring medication Why withdrawal from antidepressants can be extremely challenging, particularly at lower doses, and why reducing medication requires careful, gradual reduction that many doctors aren't trained to manage Whether visiting your GP should be your first option when experiencing low mood, and how alternatives like exercise, mindfulness and addressing underlying life issues might be more effective Throughout the episode, Joanna encourages us to view our emotional responses as meaningful signals rather than medical disorders that need chemical correction. She believes we've been disempowering people by teaching them that negative emotions represent a deficiency rather than a natural human experience that can guide us toward necessary changes in our lives. This conversation isn't about telling anyone what to do with their current medication, but rather providing information to make truly informed decisions. If you or someone you know has ever taken antidepressants or been diagnosed with depression, this episode offers a perspective that could fundamentally change how you view mental health treatment in the future.

    BITESIZE | 5 Food Tips to Heal Your Body, Boost Your Brain Health & Live Longer | Dr William Li #562
    Jun 5 2025

Today’s clip is from episode 485 of the podcast with internationally renowned physician, food scientist and bestselling author, Dr William Li. In this clip, we explore the intricate relationship between what we eat and how our bodies function and Dr Li shares how certain foods can stimulate and protect our vital stem cells, which enhances our body’s natural ability to regenerate and heal.

  • How To Gain Control Over Your Mind, The Healing Power of Discomfort & The True Essence of Happiness with Dr Alok Kanojia #561

    How To Gain Control Over Your Mind, The Healing Power of Discomfort & The True Essence of Happiness with Dr Alok Kanojia #561
    Jun 3 2025
    In a world that’s never been more comfortable, why are so many people struggling? This week, my guest is Dr. Alok Kanojia, medical doctor, psychiatrist and one of the world’s foremost authorities on mental health for the gaming community. He is known online as Dr K and is the co-founder of Healthy Gamer, a mental health platform that provides content and coaching to help young people take control of their wellbeing and he’s also the author of the bestselling book: How to Raise a Healthy Gamer: End Power Struggles, Break Bad Screen Habits, and Transform Your Relationship with Your Kids. One of the things I like the most about Alok is his competence and expertise in both western medical and eastern philosophies: he has both trained to be a monk in India and he has a Western medical degree and practices as a psychiatrist. During our conversation, you will learn: Why comfort might be the greatest threat to our mental health and how the brain and mind “rust” without regular use How technology is rewiring our attention and what ‘doom-scrolling’ is really doing to our brains Why our emotional regulation is weakening and how simple acts like taking the stairs can recondition the mind The difference between the brain and the mind and why understanding this could transform how we approach mental illness Why meditation isn’t a one-size-fits-all and how finding the right technique for your brain can make all the difference The true meaning and essence of happiness The link between ancient wisdom and modern psychiatry, and why you may be the only person that is truly qualified to heal your mind. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to not only think differently, but to live differently, as well. Alok reminds us that healing doesn’t always require a prescription or a therapist, but it does require courage, awareness and a willingness to face discomfort. Whether it’s choosing to take the stairs, sitting in silence for five minutes or resisting the urge to reach for our phones, each of these seemingly small acts are actually powerful tools that can help us feel calm, connected and in control.

The first time I ever saw Dr Rangan Chatterjee was on YouTube from a British tv series - Doctor in the House -- and I thought he was so brave and effective....I am vegan so I don't agree with everything Dr Chatterjee says but I feel is tremendously caring and empowering. I saw him running around his neighborhood with someone he interviewed and I dreamed of returning to running and now I have. I am older and some of his insights are things I know about but I am learning so much including about having hope -- because I do lose "hope" and to have Dr Rangan Chatterjee on podcasts and YouTube helping us through the Covid-19 pandemic with insights and his guests are so helpful.

I have ACUTE INSOMNIA and PTSD from a violent crime over 8 years ago at a doctor's office in SOHO NYC and like too many victimes in NY I still do not have Justice.

When the Pandemic struck finally people knew what PTSD feels like how isolating it is. When I contracted COVID-19 flying out of NY for 24 hours to look for a new home I was taken to a new level of "aloneness" and isolation, fear, anxiety, etc...


Just grateful for Dr Rangan Chatterjee's podcasts are like having an online friend offering support --- he is clear he is human and has his own vulnerabilities. He cared for his Dad before he passed away which is so moving and he is coping with the success he really craved but he is learrning the challenging sides of celebrity. We learn how the pandemic has changed his life as well as he offers us tools via his insights and his diverse guests.

Dr Rangan Chatterjee is the real deal truly caring
