WebsiteI sat down with Dr. Awais Aftab to have the kind of conversation I wish more psychiatrists were willing to have. We dug into the uncomfortable questionsare antidepressants being overprescribed? Why has the profession failed to take withdrawal and longterm harms seriously? What responsibility do psychiatrists have to fix the system?

Dr. Aftab and I don’t always agree—and that’s exactly why this discussion matters. He’s thoughtful, philosophically minded, and willing to engage with ideas outside the psychiatric mainstream. This is a respectful but challenging debate that gets to the heart of what’s broken in mental health care—and what might come next.
