In this episode of the Radically Genuine Podcast, Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring (@taperclinic ) to discuss the growing concerns around the overuse and misuse of psychiatric medications — especially in primary care settings.
Dr. Witt-Doerring, a former pharmaceutical medical officer, explains that while he’s not against medication itself, he’s critical of how these drugs are prescribed and the misinformation surrounding their risks and benefits. Together, they explore how the majority of psychiatric prescriptions now come from primary care physicians who are often influenced by medical culture, societal pressure, and financial incentives that prioritize quick fixes over comprehensive care.
The conversation dives into the role of pharmaceutical funding, flawed treatment guidelines, and the dangers of over-prescribing antidepressants, particularly to those under 25, a group shown to face higher risks of suicidal behavior. Dr. Witt-Doerring calls for greater transparency, patient education, and a reevaluation of how mental health is being treated in modern medicine.
If you’ve ever questioned whether psychiatric medications are being responsibly prescribed, this episode will challenge your perspective.
