@benzosarebad @wendyburn @_eleven13_ @BubblesTapering @rcpsych There are a number of studies exploring both physician & patient attitudes towards going off #antidepressants.

Basically, nobody knows what they're doing, patients are demoralized and stuck on #antidepressants because they keep getting told they have a life-long condition no matter the reason for initial prescription.
