202: Trains To FEMA

DSM-5 and Psychosis Risk Syndrome

The upcoming release of the DSM-5 introduces "Psychosis Risk Syndrome" (PRS), which the hosts criticize as a way to medicate people before they develop mental illness. They discuss the drug Risperdal (Risperidone) and its use in treating various disorders. John C. Dvorak shares a historical anecdote about lobotomies being marketed as a medical miracle to illustrate the dangers of popular medical trends.
