This episode marks the first of a series on child and youth mental health. I speak with Julie Wood about the psychiatric drug complex, Big Pharma research and politics, and the impact of psychiatrization on children and youth. Julie Wood spent most of her working career as a chartered accountant. After her son died in 2008 as a consequence of taking prescribed psychiatric drugs, she embarked on a journey to discover how this could have happened. She met with and learned from several high profile critics of the status quo, and through them, became involved in raising awareness of the truth about these medications and the harm that they do. She is currently editor of www.SSRIStories.org. and an editor with David Healy and Joanna Le Noury of a recent book titled Children of the Cure available from Samizdat Health Writer’s Co-operative.
