Dr Martin Whitely: Overprescribing Madness

Dr Martin Whitely is a mental health researcher and former Western Australian Member of Parliament. Martin led studies proving that the youngest children in schools are considerably more likely than their older classmates to be ‘medicated' for ADHD, as well as research exposing a troubling correlation between antidepressant usage and suicide among young Australians. He is also the author of an eye-opening book called Overprescribing Madness. In this podcast, we are going to explore mental health, the role of the chemical food and pharmaceutical industry in all levels of health care, the difference between evidence-based medicine and evidence-based marketing, and so much more. Martin has a unique perspective on this very important issue. I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with Dr Martin Whitely.
