Dr. Mayer Brezis — Professor of Medicine and Public Health at Hadassah–Hebrew University in Jerusalem — joins Moral Medicine to discuss his landmark 2025 study concluding that Finasteride can cause depression, anxiety, and suicidality, and that regulators and manufacturers failed to act for more than two decades.
In this interview, Dr. Brezis explains:
• Why the evidence linking Finasteride to psychiatric harm now meets causal criteria
• How a 20-year delay in regulatory response reveals systemic failures
• Why “deny and defend” culture prevents correction in modern medicine
• The moral imperative to place patient safety above profit
This is one of the most comprehensive public discussions ever held on the ethical, scientific, and regulatory breakdown surrounding Finasteride and similar drugs.
