In this powerful interview, Dr. Doug Bremner — Professor of Psychiatry and Radiology at Emory University — shares his groundbreaking research on the psychiatric risks of Accutane (isotretinoin). His landmark brain imaging study revealed changes in the orbitofrontal cortex of patients taking Accutane, opening the door to scientific recognition of what many had already experienced: depression, suicidality, and long-term symptoms that today are often identified as Post-Accutane Syndrome.
Dr. Bremner not only discusses the science, but also the pushback he faced from industry and colleagues, the role of propaganda in suppressing inconvenient truths, and the parallels between Accutane, finasteride (PFS), and SSRIs (PSSD). We also explore his book The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg — now adapted into a film — which sheds light on both the medical and systemic failures that kept these risks hidden for decades.
This conversation is both eye-opening and urgent, underscoring the importance of informed consent, accountability, and amplifying the voices of patients and families.
