I reside in Tasmania, Australia where over 23% of the population are prescribed a psychotropic for a MH diagnosis. That’s 1 in 4. Like so many, I was disabled by unsafe deprescribing practices. This excellent text is essential reading for all prescribers. Pt safety depends on it.

Great news! The documentary "Medicating Normal" is now on YouTube for viewing and sharing. Many of you have been asking about how to watch it, and we're excited to learn that it's finally available. https://t.co/WpaikeKTC3?

When Dr Mark Horowitz first decided it was time to stop taking antidepressants, he faced conflicting advice about what to expect.

Yesterday I began shooting a short film/doco about my life ; my creative, mental health and prescribed harm journeys all so inextricably intertwined. I look forward to sharing this with you later in the year.

Further story on @theprojecttv in Oz on the lengths people go to to get off their antidepressants. Limited awareness still from GPs. Education and access to liquids, compounded medications needed https://t.co/U5whmboMRN

If you don’t have the knowledge & skill to safely de-prescribe psychotropic drugs; prescribing them is outside your scope of practice.

Y’all catching on yet? I’ve been saying this for 3 years on this platform. First year or 2 I took a lot of abuse. Dangerous, unethical were the kindest words. Antidepressants are a scam. Those prescribing to children & teens should be convicted. Crimes against humanity

Speaking about depression like it's Cancer or an Autoimmune disease is one of the biggest allopathic medicine scams...
"treatment resistant depression" is nonsense. It's the treatment... not the depression. Drugs, cranial stimulation and ECT are pseudoscience

@sophsoph_psd I went down this rabbit hole years ago. Given the cluster of symptoms I was experiencing amid years of underlying mental health issues, burnout, poly pharmacy, Benzo harm, BIND + complex PTSD. I continue to experience CFS/ME like symptoms but I’ve accepted I’ll never really know

[Benzodiazepine Information Coalition @BZInfoCoalition]
