Panorama - a prescription for propaganda
So the recent Panorama has caused some controversy. It was entitled 'A prescription for murder' and was supposedly an investigation into the dangerous effects of antidepressants.
In my view, it was wholly unfair and served to reinvigorate stigma around medication. Of course, I'm not suggesting that taking SSRIs is a risk free business, and I am certainly not suggesting that serious reactions do not exist. I was, however, accused of doing so after publishing an article with the i Newspaper. My problem was with the portrayal. Not with the idea that some people may experience frightening symptoms.
