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. The overuse of psychiatric medications has become a growing concern for healthcare and regulatory bodies. Deprescribing is a positive, patient-centered intervention carried out under medical supervision that involves reassessing all medicines to determine if they align with the patient’s current goals of care.
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.
