Dr Jim Wright and Dr David Cohen discuss psychiatric medications, pharmaceuticals, dependency, withdrawal and suicide.

Dr Jim Wright is a clinical pharmacologist. He has a PhD in pharmacology from McGill and spent his career studying prescription drugs. He explains how there are no long term studies of these medications and that we don’t actually know much about what prescription drugs do to patients.

Dr David Cohen is an author, professor, and Associate Dean for Research and Development at Luskin School of Social Work, UCLA. Dr Cohen’s research looks at psychoactive drugs (prescribed, licit, and illicit) and their desirable and undesirable effects.
