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. Stopping these medications safely has been neglected in psychiatric teaching, leading to significant harm from severe and prolonged withdrawal effects.

Join Dr Mark Horowitz, MBBS PhD, lead author of The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs and Dr Terry Parkin, General Practitioner with special interest in mental health, for this important webinar.

This session will offer valuable insights and practical strategies for how to use the evidence-based hyperbolic tapering approach to safely reduce or stop the use of psychotropic medications, whilst managing withdrawal symptoms and ensuring patient safety.
