SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Deprescribing Psychotropics
DESCRIPTION:The overuse of antidepressants and psychiatric medications is a growing concern for healthcare and regulatory bodies\, including the NDIS Commission and the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care. Both the Disability and Aged Care Royal Commissions have called for efforts to reduce this overuse. \nStopping these medications safely has been neglected in psychiatric teaching\, leading to significant harm from severe and prolonged withdrawal effects. The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines aim to address this gap. \nWithdrawal effects are more common and severe than previously recognized\, with some people experiencing debilitating protracted withdrawal syndromes. These effects can be mistaken for a relapse or new condition\, highlighting the need for better recognition and distinction. \nAdvances in the science of stopping antidepressants have led to updated UK guidelines on gradual\, hyperbolic tapering.
