The Long-Term Antidepressant Myth

Most people believe antidepressants help prevent depression from coming back. As a board-certified psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer, I believed that too, until I reviewed the long-term data.

In this video, I break down what the studies actually show, why “relapse prevention” trials are deeply flawed, and how withdrawal is often mistaken for relapse. We’ll look at population data, long-term observational studies, and even animal research that raise serious questions about whether these drugs may make outcomes worse over time.

This isn’t opinion. It’s the evidence, explained clearly, without hype, and without dumbing it down.
