Following the storm of interest provoked by our 2022 review, I am pleased to announce the publication of my book telling the story of the serotonin theory of depression from the beginning to recent times. Due out Jan 2025. To pre-order lnk.to/chemicallyimba… @flint_books 1/3
Prescribed psychotropic drug withdrawal and iatrogenesis can be so complex, disabling & misunderstood that it should be a specialized field in medicine.
Delighted to be at #ad4efestival24 today - an amazing line up. If you’re curious about whether a medical approach to difficulties in our emotional lives is the right one, have a dip into the festival today.
My wonderful colleague @markhoro continues to make his time on the planet beneficial to others. I will concentrate on that today to defeat despair.
The Nov/Dec issue of The Carlat Psychiatry Report is out with @markhoro (deprescribing), Harish Kavirajan, MD, @UCIMedSchool (antipsychotics), as well as a number of riveting topics in psychiatry. Register to earn CME credit and listen to the issue online! thecarlatreport.com/newsletters/1/…
It seems @rcpsych has taken down the tweet promoting this CPD link to deprescribing, how interesting, anyway here is the link to the CPD e-learning content: bit.ly/3UCmLfH
Great that @rcpsych has put out a CPD podcast about hyperbolic tapering/deprescribing with Prof Taylor @DavidTa23968240 and myself. Hopefully it will become embedded as a core skill. A few further developments are likely to help push this out in the NHS as a whole too....
Does it not concern people that withdrawal effects from psychiatric drugs are so devastating - such as akathisia - that people are seeking euthanasia to escape them?
Euthanasia for the side-effects of Seroquel. Why not? cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
At @UKHouseofLords meeting with Minister @GillianMerron & @MHRAgovuk Prof.@DrDavidHealy, DrMark Horowitz @markhoro, Dr. Scott Gordon, Baroness Finlay & @SyedKamall we secured commitments to a transparent & rigorous review of the safety of antidepressants davidalton.net/?s=Anti+depres…
Lets prescribe drugs that are proven to increase suicide and violence, have a government black box warning to vulnerable people in a dark place in life. Someone thought this was a good idea… & our medical establishment follows blindly
Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD) has been added to the SNOMED diagnostic codes internationally so that it can now be recorded by doctors as a diagnosis. Hopefully this will help the system to determine the full extent of the issue. @PSSDNetwork @DrDavidHealy @TonyAvery1
🆕This opinion piece on the hub from Harriet Vogt (@shvogt) looks at the need for recognition and research into Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) to allow patients to make truly informed choices when considering taking antidepressants pslhub.org/learn/improvin…
The solution to rising distress in young people caused by “intergenerational inequality, global instability and the rise of social media” is not more antidepressants but prescribing rates have tripled in 10 years bit.ly/3MZzncq
Misdiagnosing antidepressant withdrawal as relapse can lead to: - Polypharmacy of psychotropics - False belief that antidepressants are required long term/for life - New misdiagnosis such as FND, TRD etc All can lead to further iatrogenic disability.
The invalid biological model of psychiatry assumes that mental illness is a result of a malfunction in the brain and not a result of psychosocial factors. It is the difference between saying: “There is something wrong with you,” and, “There is something wrong in your life.”
Register now! Webinar and Q & A, 'Deprescribing Psychotropic Medicines' with @markhoro this Thursday 26th September at 5:30pm (AEST) - Diving into the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, complexities of psychotropic deprescribing, and the importance of person-centered care.
If there were no harmed patients, there would be no protest. #prescribedharm #psychiatry
My response to difficult life events was normal. My distress & despair wasn’t a medical disorder. I didn’t have a chemical imbalance which could be rectified by a medication. I regret sharing my vulnerability with a psychiatrist who pathologized my humanness, which led to injury.
If someone shares their experience of antidepressant withdrawal with you - please listen and try to understand. Far too often their experiences are unheard, dismissed and not believed. Validation can help ease their suffering. Be kind.
"The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine is a brilliant exposé of the negative influence of the global pharmaceutical industry on the integrity of medicine. Every medical student, doctor and patient should read this account"
Why can't we get a govt warning like this for SSRIs? There are lot more people harmed by SSRIs than fluoroquinolones. Why can't we get recommendations to not prescribe SSRIs for non-severe conditions?
