·57 min·2 clips

I don't remember my wedding day. I don't remember the births of my children. It's like these memories never imprinted.

The Breggan Hour features Dr. Peter Breggan (recovering stroke survivor) and wife Ginger discussing recovery, the power of love, and psychiatric medication harm. Peter suffered a stroke, was initially confused and unable to identify Ginger despite her loving care. He philosophizes about love as divine/ineffable. Guest Jen is a therapist/deprescriber who spent 25 years on SSRI, now helps others come off psychiatric meds. Jen describes memory loss during medication use—she doesn't remember wedding, children's births. Episode combines personal recovery narrative with critique of psychiatric industry's prescription practices and advocacy for safer deprescribing protocols.
