209. A Combat Veteran Becomes a Prisoner of Psychiatric Torture
Army veteran Angie Peacock survived Iraq in 2003, only to become a prisoner of psychiatric torture. Between VA and civilian psychiatrists, she was prescribed 18 psychiatric drugs at once, then cold-turkeyed off benzodiazepines—leaving her unable to walk for 2.5 years and suicidal for three straight years.After losing 20 years to psychiatric "treatment," Angie escaped and has since helped over 1,000 people navigate psychiatric drug withdrawal. In this explosive conversation, she exposes how both military and civilian psychiatry systematically poison patients, why asking for help destroyed her military career, and delivers a radical truth: the mental health system isn't broken—it's designed to create lifelong patients.
For anyone trapped in psychiatric dependency or questioning their "treatment resistant" label, this episode proves you're not crazy. They are.
