The heat is on for the Royal College of Psychiatrists. For years now, senior members of the profession have made very public pronouncements that “antidepressants” are safe, non-addictive and life-saving. The mainstream media has given them an easy ride – they are, after all, leaders in their field, trusted for their expert knowledge and integrity. But for how much longer?
As the public mood on antidepressants begins to sour, the Royal College of Psychiatrists will quietly disassociate itself from this stance. It is already happening.

This pithy review by ‘perimele6’ captures the overall tone of people’s comments…

And there is a helpful link to the RCPsych Health Advice webpage…
“The resource you’re looking for is not available. It may have been moved or deleted.”
How long before the link to this video goes the same way?
