Earlier this year, Patrick Coffin interviewed Peter Breggin about his life and his observations and influence upon psychiatry.
Patrick Coffin wrote:
Breggin has both bitter enemies and strong supporters among his fellow psychiatrists. Groundbreaking work in helping patients wean themselves off medications has made him highly sought after and respected. At age 89, Breggin is going strong, seeing patients, interviewing and being interviewed, and speaking out about medical malfeasance on his weekly radio show, “The Peter Breggin Show.”
In this episode:
How the psychiatric industry, in bed with Big Pharma, has changed since the 1950s.
What drew Dr. Breggin to psychiatry
The real dangers of SSRIs and other antidepressive and anti-anxiety drugs on the brain
The true definition of depression and how to resolve it
How the diagnostic and statistical manual is written and used to justify the sale of neurotoxic drugs that promise recovery but that all come with bad side effects
The providential ways that Breggin’s research and advocacy prepared him to fight the global COVID crisis
Thank you, Patrick for the thoughtful interview!

Wow! This was the very first full interview of Dr. Breggin that I've ever watched and I was blown away by his humility, compassion, and integrity. There are/were glimpses and hints of his character in articles, etc., but to see him speaking live, and from the heart, was energizing, to say the least. Thanks so much to Dr. Breggin and the interviewer and am sending warm, best wishes to both of them.
