Dansk Psykoterapeutforening: Psykoterapi før piller 860.000 danskere fik i 2024 udskrevet psykofarmaka. Det er alarmerende højt. Medicin er alt for ofte den første løsning, og ikke sidste udvej, som WHO faktisk anbefaler.

If you delve into AI you should underscore the need to comprehend AI to bolster your sanity, especially if you want to boast about your swift work. If not you will perhaps be met with an inquiry, that will meticulously pinpoint how you did not surpass even basic word craft.

The Danes Resisted Fascism, and So Can We Danish resistance didn’t arrive all at once during World War II. But taken as a whole, the Danes’ actions are a testament to what’s possible when we work together to fight fascism.

Opinion | What Kennedy Gets Right, And Wrong, About Antidepressants (Gift Article) Harm from these drugs is real. Let’s not cede the conversation to Kennedy.

My opinion piece in today’s @nytimes.com . I discuss how clinical neglect of medication-related harms has made RFK Jr’s stance on antidepressants appealing to so many and moving the public conversation in a productive direction requires us to remedy this neglect.
