13 Psych Drugs in 4 Months: The Troubling Question in Lindsay Clancy’s Case | Dr. Roger McFillin
What was said
"And what do you see a Harvard based psychiatrist gets on the stand and then she begins to spew out the same narrative lies the marketing lies from the pharmaceutical companies that those who are suffering from depression have a chemical imbalance in the brain and we have drugs that correct that imbalance. This is testimony."
Dr Roger McFillin claims that, in testimony connected to the Lindsay Clancy proceedings, a psychiatrist affiliated with Harvard stated that depression reflects a ‘chemical imbalance’ corrected by medication. McFillin characterises that narrative as pharmaceutical marketing and disputes the scientific basis for it.
