Professor Peter Gøtzsche

Professor John Ioannidis from Stanford University became involved in Cochrane early on. Peter C Gøtzsche interviews John about what was so unique about Cochrane; how their expulsion of one of their best-known researchers after a secret show trial was very unfair and damaging for the organisation; and if the organisation can regain people's trust.

Professor emeritus Peter C Gøtzsche explains in ten minutes with filmmaker Janus Bang why the biggest study of antidepressants ever financed by the US National Institute of Mental Health was a total fraud and that the institute and the psychiatrists don't care but continue to cite it as if it were true.

Peter C Gøtzsche interviews Professor of clinical psychology, John Read, University of East London about why ECT will likely become abandoned. It is far more dangerous than people realise and the benefit is doubtful.

Lawyer Jim Gottstein has a personal brief experience as a patient with acute psychosis. He has won important lawsuits at the Alaska Supreme Court to prevent forced drugging, thereby defending the basic human rights of psychiatric patients.

Professor emeritus Peter C Gøtzsche explains what the effects are of depression drugs on depression, the risk of suicide and people's sex lives.

Peter C Gøtzsche and Alan Cassels discuss why the most important organisation established in healthcare in the last 100 years seems to have collapsed. Is there hope that somehow a new Cochrane will rise out of the ashes?

Peter C Gøtzsche interviews Mark Horowitz who gives practical advice about how to taper psychiatric drugs in a hyperbolic fashion. He also recounts his personal experience of horrific withdrawal symptoms when he tried to withdraw a depression drug.

Peter C Gøtzsche discusses with Professor Joanna Moncrieff what critical psychiatry is about; why psychiatric drugs are much overused and based on false premises; and how the disease centred and the drug centred model for psychiatric drugs can help explain the predicament we are in.

Professor emeritus Peter C Gøtzsche explains big pharma's business model of organised crime; that prescribed drugs are the third leading cause of death worldwide; the broken drug approval system; that deaths are missing from published reports; the destruction of the once trusted scientific organisation The Cochrane Collaboration; censorship in medical publishing; and why Cochrane now seems to be a slowly dying institution.
