Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist and academic. She is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London and a leading figure in the Critical Psychiatry Network. Her books The Myth of the Chemical Cure and The Bitterest Pills are central texts in the critical psychiatry movement. 

Joanna exposes a medical myth that has misled millions of people into taking powerful psychotropic drugs unnecessarily. She discusses the dangerous side-effects associated with this family of drugs and the equally dangerous medicines being explored by pharmaceutical companies today. Joanna explains why these drugs cause possible brain damage, suicide, sexual disfunction and the inability by many patients to come off these drugs. We examine what your GPs either don't tell you, or what your GPs don't know!
