His advice for people with depression is also broadly probably pretty good - my wife has issues with it and we tried a couple of his recommendations she hadn’t tried before, and supplementing OTC l methyl folate helped her significantly despite not having the mutation that commonly results in it being prescribed. And his talking about ketamine being a prospective treatment with some good indicators in research led to the best drug commercial ever, for spravato - esketamine nasal spray for treatment resistant depression.
He’s a psychiatrist by profession so his opinions in that field I would hope were reasonable. His opinions on society and politics are another matter. I think his earlier writing is in general more reasonable than where he’s ended up.
He is also a fantastic fiction author though.
