A good Madness Radio session from Dr. Joanna Moncrieff

http://www.madnessradio.net/madness-radio-bipolar-medication-myths-joanna-moncrieff

It's something many people have known for years. The biomedical theory
is bunk, however coming from a lecturer at University College London
means people listen.

She says what many people know: psychotropic drugs - legal and illegal -
are the same. Psychiatric drugs often make people feel bad but illegal
ones make them feel good. Weed or herbal cannabis is an antipsychotic
however people don't like taking prescription anitpsychotics.

This is well worth listening too. It's almost an hour long but it's
packed with lots of information and important arguments from a very
clever woman.
