from 2022-09-07T16:42:28
"The recent publication... reviewed decades of research, the chemical imbalance myth was shown to have no support in scientific evidence. The theory of a chemical imbalance is a myth, and has always been a myth."
Psychotherapist Harriet Fraad and Substance Abuse Councillor Ikoi Hiroe discuss the recent Mad in America article 'Loss, Grief, and Betrayal: Psychiatric Survivors Reflect on the Impact of New Serotonin Study', and the history and harm caused by the chemical imbalance theory.
