Ginger Ross Breggin has a background in journalism, book editing, bookmaking, and book publishing. Since 1984, she has partnered with Peter as a coauthor, writer, editor, researcher, organization administrator, advisor, and communicator with the outside world.When hints of a possible new pandemic reached the U.S. in January 2020, Ginger redirected her attention to researching what would be called SARS-CoV-2. She soon recognized the significance of an obscure reference to a paper published in 2015 in Nature Medicine. It was titled, "A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence." It documented that the U.S. had been collaborating with Chinese researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in gain-of-function research-making lethal viruses very similar to SARS-CoV-2. With her husband, they set aside their normal lives and began work researching the pandemic, digging deep into the tragedy of the world's response to COVID-19. Along with her husband Peter, Ginger is a member of several COVID-19 medical and science groups, including the international Doctors for Covid Ethics, (D4CE) and the U.S.-based C19 Group which focuses upon early treatments for COVID-19, ongoing research, and the effects of government policies.Ginger is the coauthor of several books with Peter, including their bestseller Talking Back to Prozac (1994) and The War Against Children of Color: Psychiatry Targets Inner City Youth (1998).

She edited and published The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, MD. She has researched, edited, and coauthored many blogs with him on the issues in this book. Ginger inspired and cofounded with her husband the peer-reviewed scientific journal Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, which she managed for many years. From 1988-2002, she was the Executive Director of Peter's original nonprofit reform center, the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP).
