Me On The Net Again
For those of you who are interested (Mom? Dad?), I was interviewed last fall by Joost Nixon with an ecumenical program out of Spokane, Washington. His religious group does interesting interviews on important spiritual issues and makes them available on CDs and online under a program called "St. Anne's Public House." The new program, called "Dimming Our Wits: Psychiatric Drugging," is available online now. I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but as I recall I was interviewed about where the heck we are going as a culture with mental illness, medications and our culture of over-feeling. Peter Breggin is also interviewed.
You can access it here. I am in segment three. Let me know what you think.

What did I think? I thought you are a great combination of journalist and consumer. You really put yourself out there to help others, in my opinion. I wish I was a brave as you. Maybe some day I will.
You are very articulate, and you sound, to my ears, at LEAST as knowledgeable about these issues, than many of the MDs that I hear lecture each week.
You do us consumers a great public service, by speaking up as you do, and not being a Scientology Spokesperson :)
Nice work Philip. I especially liked how the interview quoted a Risperdal paperwork from the manufacturer, leaving a door open for discussion on how it is not known how Risperdal works, and may help relieve certain symptoms.
