Episode Description
Millions of Americans take antidepressants, but far fewer are warned about how difficult coming off them can be.
Laura Delano spent 14 years inside the psychiatric system before discovering that many of the symptoms she believed were signs of mental illness were actually linked to psychiatric drug withdrawal. We discuss why antidepressant tapering is so often misunderstood, how withdrawal can be mistaken for relapse, and whether a lack of training around safe tapering is quietly contributing to today’s mental health crisis.
