In this explosive episode of Heal Without Harm, Dr. Clayton Dir sits down with Dr. Teralyn Sell and Therapist Jenn Schmitz, co-hosts of The Gaslit Truth, to expose one of the biggest myths in mental health—the so-called chemical imbalance theory. 🧠💊

The shocking truth? It was never proven. Yet it became Big Pharma’s perfect marketing hook to sell billions in psychiatric medications—meds that can trigger dependency, withdrawal, and serious long-term health impacts.

Through personal stories and expert insights, this tough conversation reveals how the system really works—and who it serves. This isn’t just another episode—it’s about reclaiming your health, your autonomy, and your future. 🌱✨

🔑 4 Key Takeaways

• 🧪 The “chemical imbalance” theory was marketing—not science.

• 💊 Psychiatric meds can cause dependency, withdrawal, and chronic health issues.

• 🗣 Mental health care often omits true informed consent.

• 🌿 Holistic, individualized healing offers a powerful alternative to lifelong medication.
