The psychiatric system is so sick that it punishes those who go against the grain and get better results than their colleagues by using less force and drugging less. In Denmark, a chief psychiatrist opened a force-free department, and they had available beds, in contrast to all other departments that scream: Send more money. He […]

As the most meaningful titles have already been taken by reputable journals, titles for predatory journals are often a meaningless hodgepodge of words. I present here an analysis of the logical structure of some of the weirdest journal titles in invitations I received during January and February 2025, e.g. Journal of Nutrition and Health Sciences

In 2008, I was exposed to absurd censorship and editorial misconduct when I tried to publish a Cochrane review of an obscenely expensive drug, alpha-1 antitrypsin for patients with lung disease caused by inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

A Danish newspaper recently wrote that Donald Trump is extremely unpopular in Denmark. This is not only because he wants to buy Greenland or take it by force. Many Europeans are convinced that, during Trump’s second presidency, we will see disaster upon disaster, harming not only America but the whole world and they are right.

Today, I wrote to the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHR) in the UK asking them to check the package inserts for all antidepressants approved in the UK and to ensure that misleading messages about the cause of depression being caused by low serotonin or “chemical imbalances” get removed in all cases.

In an interview published in Sunday Times on 12 January 2025 (read the article here), psychiatrist professor Joanna Moncrieff explains that, depression is not a physical illness antidepressants don’t work there is no evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin (the chemical imbalance myth) it is a delusion that emotional problems can be resolved

Fluoxetine (Prozac) from Eli Lilly was the first SSRI approved for depression in children and adolescents. But it doesn’t work and it increases the risk of suicide and violence. After having reviewed Lilly’s unpublished clinical study reports, which we got from a drug agency,  psychiatrist David Healy and I concluded that fluoxetine is both unsafe and
