A new @Truthdig overview provides readers with a primer on the main characters directing the Psychedelic Science Funders Collaborative — the organization at the heart of Psymposia’s "Psychedelic Syndicate" report.

A US reader's review of Chemically Imbalanced - out now in the US as well as UK: 'As Vasily Grossman put it, “It is the writer's duty to tell the terrible truth, and it is a reader's civic duty to learn this truth.”' amazon.com/Chemically-Imbala… @flint_books

Good to see the final version of this paper in print from @jamieroneill Tapering drugs by dosing every second day risks severe withdrawal effects and is generally not wise. Better to use smaller doses e.g. liquids or compounded versions each day bit.ly/46i0Pvp

A useful overview of the complete failure of psychiatric genetics to pinpoint anything of significance
My new article: “The 110-Year ‘Schizophrenia Genetic Research’ Train Wreck.” "The schizophrenia/psychosis causality puzzle pieces will fit together much better once we knock the ‘genetics’ pieces off the table.” madinamerica.com/2025/08/the…

Evidence that sertraline, the most widely prescribed antidepressant in the UK currently, was not shown to be effective in early trials
Replying to @APApsychiatric
Internal FDA memo (1991) on Zoloft — released in my litigation vs @pfizer #1 - Other foreign regulators initially refused approval citing “lack of robustness of the clinical evidence supporting its efficacy” #2 - FDA said U.S. standards wouldn’t meet stricter foreign demands “unless there is a significant sea change in society’s attitude” #3 - Final line of memo: approval “agency may come under attack… for not being as demanding as it ought to be … standards establishing the efficacy of antidepressants.” They knew. They approved anyway. 34 years later and here we are.

Psymposia has finally been vindicated! While we've been harassed, MAPS/Lykos supporters have known FOR A YEAR that they were pushing a false narrative that scapegoated us for the FDA's rejection of MDMA. They wanted to hide their terrible science & force politicians to approve it
