As a founding member of the Critical Psychiatry Network, her work challenges the widely accepted "disease-centred" view of mental health, the idea that psychiatric drugs simply fix chemical imbalances. Instead, she advocates for a "drug-centred" approach to better understand how these medications actually alter the brain and behaviour. With decades of clinical experience across London, she aims to radically re-evaluate how society conceptualises and manages emotional distress.Host/Podcaster: Hala AliChapters:Follow Joanna:Website - https://joannamoncrieff.com/X - https://x.com/joannamoncrieff/Useful Links:Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth Book link - https://lnk.to/chemicallyimbalancedExplore the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFXRuOQ6z8r12D9L8f0lyOYAxdOZRWzYMusic: Chopin - Piano Concerto no. 1 in E minor, Op. 11 - III.
