Show Notes:

In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing Angie Peacock—an MSW, U.S. Army Veteran, and psychiatric drug withdrawal consultant. Angie opens up about her deeply personal journey, from being overmedicated with psychotropic drugs after serving in Iraq to reclaiming her life through holistic healing practices. She’s now a powerful advocate for mental health system reform.

You might recognize Angie from the documentary Medicating Normal, which highlights her story and sheds light on the broader issues surrounding trauma, overmedication, and the critical importance of informed consent and personal agency in mental health care. Our conversation dives into the value of self-reflection, the power of advocacy, and the many paths to healing that don’t always follow the traditional route.
