Dr. Stea traces the anti-psychiatry movement’s origins to the 1960s, when it emerged in response to shortcomings in psychiatric practice. However, he argues that it has since devolved into a pseudoscientific ideology perpetuating misinformation.The conversation delves into how the wellness industry capitalizes on pseudoscientific ideas, exaggerating the role of personal responsibility and natural remedies while sowing distrust in traditional medicine. Dr. Stea shines a light on misleading claims in alternative medicine, from dubious naturopathic treatments to the misrepresentation of indigenous practices.Dr. Stea’s book uses humor and clear examples to help readers recognize and avoid pseudoscience. He stresses the need for honesty, informed consent, and understanding of cultural beliefs in healthcare.

With a specialization in assessing and treating concurrent addiction and mental health disorders, he has earned accolades for his expertise, including twice receiving the University of Calgary's Award for Excellence in Clinical Supervision.In addition to his clinical and academic roles, Dr. Stea is a dedicated science communicator.
