Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in identifying and treating psychiatric adverse drug reactions, interviews Marchello and his mother Lisa. Marchello developed akathisia after starting psychiatric medications. Dr. Witt-Doerring brings a unique perspective from his experience as a Medical Officer at the FDA, where he analyzed adverse drug reactions and proposed modifications to drug labeling.
In this interview, Marchello recounts his journey to the psychiatrist’s office, his reaction to the medication, and how the subsequent mismanaged care led him to lose trust in the medical system. Later, Marchello and Lisa share invaluable insights into the caregiver-drug-injured person relationship, offering advice for other loved ones navigating similar challenges.
