Thank you so much @markhoro for putting the new data into context with clear, evidence-based analysis. You highlight that withdrawal is real and often linked to duration of use - reaffirming the need for caution and helping people make informed choices on antidepressants.
The review by Kalfas on antidepressant withdrawal in JAMA Psychiatry will mislead as it is based largely on people who have taken antidepressants for 8-12 weeks in 11 RCTs-this will under-estimate the risks for millions of long-term users. Thread (1/n)

“We cannot talk about mental health without talking about human rights.”. I spoke with @elperiodico about why transforming mental health systems is urgent — from control to support from coercion to choice & rights. Interview in 🇪🇸, video in 🇬🇧.

Mental health has been ignored in policy for too long. At the Paris @WHO_Europe #MentalHealthInAllPolicies conference, I shared why every sector must act—& how @WHO policy guidance (launching soon) can help turn awareness into action. #QualityRights.
