Why do mothers kill their children?

Mothers like Lindsay Clancy who kill their children are more commonplace than we admit. One of America's most prolific psychiatrists blames the pills: Big Pharma overmedicalises women with drugs that erode moral agency, and without them, these mothers would never have done it.

Few people can say they've spent 60 years fighting the same battle, but Peter Breggin can.

The 90-old Harvard-trained psychiatrist, often called "the conscience of psychiatry", joined me for another conversation. I can't remember when, exactly, but it was around 2021 when he first joined me on my podcast. (I will try to find that conversation and upload it to my website, soon.)

Despite recovering from a stroke he suffered just last month (August), his mind remains as sharp as ever, even if his typing and time-sequencing are still finding their way back. His personal trainer, a former kickboxer, now has him working the pads to rebuild the left-sided weakness the stroke left behind. When I asked him who the greatest boxer of all time was, he didn't hesitate: Mike Tyson, with Muhammad Ali a close second.

If you know Peter's work, that answer makes perfect sense. He's been throwing punches at his own profession his entire life.
