All these years later, I still remember the psychiatrist who came into my space without my consent. His shoes were too shiny and his posture too stiff. I squirmed in my seat as he asked me several questions to conclude the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Then, he was gone.…
American Psychiatric Association publishes accurate figures re antidepressant withdrawal effects! Cites @markhoro @JDaviesPhD @joannamoncrieff et al Given denial by big pharma and leading psychiatrists, I thought this may never happen. Well done all! psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/ap…
Great to see more researchers getting involved with hyperbolic tapering - this project involves building an algorithm to help implement it, along with failsafes to avoid errors from Michael O'Connor ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11081…
I worry that psychiatry does not understand that deprescribing isn’t simply dropping a person’s dose. For many of us, it’s a whole unlearning of what symptoms mean, what our diagnoses mean and what to do about both. Its not just pharmacology.
🧵What Are the Psychological Drivers Behind Clinicians' Reactions to Iatrogenic Harm – Lessons from John Banja’s ‘Medical Narcissism’ Sanil Rege’s recent thread explored the psychology of how patients respond to iatrogenic harm. But what about the other side of the equation…

Fully Recovered after Psychosis, Without Antipsychotic Drugs A new study demonstrates that far more people are able to fully recover from psychosis than typically thought—and that many can do so without antipsychotic drugs. buff.ly/58l3t53
Exactly. I have paid £1,000 recently for some treatment. The appointment lasted one hour. The fuss people are making about charging fees for a deprescribing service in the US is astonishing.
4 - Patients report akathisia, electric shocks, extreme insomnia, emotional blunting, panic states and crushing fatigue. This isn’t just discomfort, it can destroy relationships, careers even lives. Many have died by suicide in the depths of withdrawal.
Doctors on X suggesting that harm from psychiatric drugs is really just a “mindset problem” isn’t ignorance - it’s gaslighting. It’s like being crippled in a crash because a dealer sold you a car with no brakes, and then being told you’re part of some anti-transportation cult.
My own hunch is that the largest proportion of people who benefit least from antidepressants, but remain on them for the longest time and suffer consequences of that longterm use often including polypharmacy … were those more likely suffering complex ‘Axis II’ disorders, complex…
Bold new idea: no more “manuals” in therapy. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This might be controversial but psychiatrists are the most appropriate professional for all conditions First line treatment for complex PTSD might not be our forte And for many issues, help rather than healthcare might be most appropriate
He'll say they are, of course. But my point is that the Bradley Hill criteria that he adheres to when discussing withdrawal are not met when in respect of any even "component" causality of neurochemistry, and certainly weren't met in respect of a cause treatable by serotonin…
Okay I get the anti pseudoscience thing is about protecting patients but at what point are you looking at other cultures' healing traditions that have stories of efficacy whose mechanisms have yet to be studied and saying nah that's not science because of your own ethnocentrism?
Why don’t many docs see withdrawal – not taught to, patients abandon them for far better informed peer support. Clarifyng paper. Btw co-author, clever, charming man, knowledgeable fb group moderator – took his own life – withdrawal was unsurvivable. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20… 2/

I can't compete with Dr Rege's facility for emoticons. But nothing he has said detracts from the fact that characteristic withdrawal syndromes are routinely mis-diagnosed as functional neurological disorder by clinicians unfamiliar with protracted withdrawal.
Don't confuse tapering services in the US with the FREE NHS service set up in the UK. We only have one in the whole country. Don't discredit it. We have wanted this for a long time.
