We were encouraged to see The New York Times shed light on the long-overdue conversation around antidepressant withdrawal in a recent opinion piece: “When the Antidepressant Doesn’t Let You Go.”
For too long, patients have suffered in silence, gaslit or dismissed by a system that isn’t equipped to recognize or treat the very real physiological challenges of tapering off antidepressants. The article does a solid job articulating the magnitude of the problem.
But once again, there are no solutions offered. No clinical strategies. No mention of the growing body of research that can help.
Helping Patients Taper Off Psychiatric Medications
At Psychiatry Redefined, we’ve been working for over a decade to fill that gap—training clinicians around the world in a science-backed, evidence-based model for helping patients safely and effectively taper off psychiatric medications.
Dr. James Greenblatt, a pioneer in functional and integrative psychiatry, literally wrote the book on this topic.
Functional Medicine for Antidepressant Withdrawal explores the biological mechanisms behind withdrawal and outlines personalized strategies for restoring balance.
And now we’ve created a course to help clinicians apply this model in practice:
Functional Medicine for Antidepressant Withdrawal – Online Course ($199)
This training provides clinicians with the education they never received in medical school or residency. Grounded in research and designed for real-world use, it offers practical protocols for treating withdrawal symptoms and helping patients heal.
The world is waking up to the crisis. We’re here with the solutions.
It’s time to stop just talking about the problem—and start training the people who can actually solve it.
