Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring: Is Rising Violence Fueled By SSRI Drugs Meant to Fix It? + How Leland Vittert Tackled Autism & Became A NewsNation TV Anchor – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 541
Is the mental health crisis fueled by drugs meant to fix it? Despite a 450% surge in antidepressant use, mental health outcomes are worsening especially among young adults. Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a psychiatrist and expert on drug-tapering, warns SSRIs may be linked to rising violence.
Dr. Witt-Doerring points to FDA corruption and psychiatry’s focus on quick-fix prescriptions over root-cause care, like nutrition and trauma support. He critiques lifelong drug reliance and severe withdrawal effects, pushing for reforms including better informed consent and integrating life skills into treatment to address the spiraling crisis.
Leland Vittert is host of On Balance with Leland Vittert and NewsNation’s chief Washington anchor. When Leland was diagnosed with autism, his father quit his job to coach him full-time in social skills and humor. Later, Leland became a foreign correspondent and anchor at Fox News before getting his own show on NewsNation. He tells his story in the book “Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism“. Learn more at https://bornluckybook.com and https://x.com/lelandvittert
Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring is a board-certified psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer. As Medical Director of TaperClinic, he specializes in safe de-prescription of psychiatric medications and recovery from psychiatric drug injury. He previously worked for Janssen Pharmaceuticals (Johnson & Johnson) and the FDA. Follow at https://x.com/drjosefWD
