YOU GOT IT WRONG - Mary Beth Ritchie

The aim of this blog is to highlight persons in the media who tout the chemical imbalance theory as a fact. It's highly unprofessional and misleading to do so and this blog demands that any statements relating to the 'chemical imbalance' myth should either be backed up with supporting evidence or retracted.

Where possible, each person featured on this blog has been contacted via Twitter, email, and/or Facebook and asked to retract their statements or provide supporting evidence.

Once supporting evidence has been shown they will be removed from this blog. Moreover, if they retract their original statements they will also be removed from this blog.

As you will see from these lists, many of the authors are household names and influence those who follow them. This has to stop. The chemical imbalance line was created by the pharmaceutical industry, moreover, Eli Lilly, who launched the first of the SSRIs, Prozac.

Those featured on this list need to do their research.

Article: All You Need To Know About Maladaptive Daydreaming

Quote: "Owing to the absence of a medical recognition of the condition, Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD ) is often treated as a neural biochemical imbalance rather than an addictive symptom stemming from trauma, or a void in the individual’s life. In terms of medication, one study had found that fluvoxamine, a drug commonly used to treat OCD, can help control MD as well."

Article: Iowa strength coach Chris Doyle offers a defense on Twitter; Kirk Ferentz talks upcoming review of the strength program

Quote: "I've struggled with ADHD all my life and have been on medication for as long as I can remember. People in the Iowa football program were aware of my learning disability. I enrolled at Iowa in June of 2017, and wasn't tested in the hospital for a learning disability until spring of 2018 (I also need to be tested to have access to medication). During that semester and a half period, I nearly failed out of Iowa because I struggled to pay attention in class, focus on my assigned readings, and not day dream during exams. All of these struggles were due to the chemical imbalance that hindered my ability to focus as the human brain should."
