Joanna Moncrieff

Joanna Moncrieff is a professor of critical and social psychiatry at University College London and a vocal critic of the widespread prescribing of antidepressants. She argues that the benefits of SSRIs may be overstated and suggests that their effects might be more akin to a numbing sensation than a genuine restoration of mood, raising concerns about their potential harms and advocating for a more cautious approach to their use.
