Fernando Kaskais

In a new book, Dr. Julie Holland argues that pharmaceutical companies target women and medicate their emotions.

As O’Malley writes, “It’s a form of gaslighting—telling women that their feelings are just wrong, that they don’t have the right to feel the way they do.” According to … Continue reading Feeling Intense Emotions Doesn’t Make You Crazy—But That’s Not What Big Pharma Wants You to Think

Fernando Kaskais

By Tess Pennington | Ready Nutrition As I child, I was always outside.

Fernando Kaskais

by Sarah Landrum, Contributor, Waking Times You’ve probably been told that antidepressants correct the chemical imbalance in your brain. As it turns out, that’s not quite true.
