At the Maha Institute symposium, Dr. Anders Sorensen criticized the psychiatric industry for relying on eight-week clinical trials to guide five-year real-world usage of antidepressants. The discussion draws parallels between the current SSRI crisis and previous medical scandals involving benzodiazepines and opioids, where safety claims were prioritized over long-term dependency data.

A study published in the BMJ reveals that 60% of U.S. physicians involved in developing the DSM-5 received payments from the pharmaceutical industry. This "medical-industrial complex" influence is linked to the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria and the subsequent promotion of surgical and chemical treatments. The Trump administration has responded by threatening to pull federal funding from state sex education programs that promote gender ideology.
