in comparison, using taperingstrips, at the current price of € 95/month, to taper gradually and hyperbolically as slowly as you wish, seems pretty cheap to me (info at https://t.co/98zilww3Qw)

There are no randomised trials showing a relationship between cigarettes smoked and lung cancer - these are based on surveys. A survey is a reasonable way to see a duration-response effect and it was strong and backed up by other studies. odd to argue against really
Citing.....survey data. This is why we put together the evidence.

Vandaag weer vet veel criminele dingen gedaan in het huis van God. Voeten verbonden. Pijnklachten geanalyseerd. Verhoogde bloeddrukken gekalmeerd. Ongedocumenteerde kinderen een snoepje gegeven. Hun moeders wat vertrouwen. Liefde gegeven.

Zag tijdens ziekenhuisopname van een naaste hoe belangrijk goede zorg is, die ook werd geleverd, en hoe belangrijk daarbij de verpleging is! Goed dat je dat in je boek zo duidelijk hebt benoemd. Dank daarvoor. Hopelijk verandert je boek iets, al is het maar een klein beetje.
Een van mijn grote zorgen. Het mist ook op veel agenda’s. Tijd voor een rappel, vooral ook voor beleidsmakers. Met steeds wisselende zorgverleners raken patiënten de weg kwijt. Ze verdienen zorgverleners die hen echt kennen. - Wynia's Week

In het Haagse Bos waren gister opeens veel fietsers, die daar waren omdat ze probeerden ondanks alle afzettingen weer thuis te komen. Niet leuk. Reporters van de @NOS heb ik niet gezien, mij is dus in ieder geval niets gevraagd.
@eenblikopdenos @NOS Dit is de minste vorm van journalistiek: straatinterviews. Natuurlijk is er - wat wij wetenschappers noemen - een selectiebias. Per definitie. Heel erg weinig toegevoegde waarde. Al zullen veel kijkers dat niet meteen zo duiden.

Niet reageren is een beproefde en helaas vaak succesvolle strategie, waardoor problemen jarenlang onnodig kunnen blijven bestaan.

Op persoonlijke titel is onlangs door een aantal mensen een oproep gedaan aan de Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd IGJ om haar rol serieus te nemen door te zorgdragen voor een snelle verwijdering...
Na de boekpresentatie #ZiekeZorg en diverse interviews is het ook een interessant gegeven wie er totaal NIET reageert? En welke organisaties zelfs persberichten weren/verwijderen van hun intranet sites? Weet u het? https://t.co/33DTnbXnlH Zieke zorg - SPUI25

Shaving tablets or using other complicated methods to be able to gradually lower the dose is no longer necessary at all:

One of the practical tools mentioned in the new Maudsley Guidance are the tapering strips I have been working on for almost 15 years.
My beautiful husband shaving my 20mg Paroxetine tablet using a scalpel and scales so I can achieve a harm reduction hyperbolic taper. When I followed my doctor’s linear tapering advice after 30 yrs use I nearly died. It shouldn’t have to be this way…

woefully inadequate indeed!
The research community has forgotten that antidepressants are foreign chemical substances that change our biological and mental activity with potentially damaging effects. This means that research on the human costs of taking antidepressants has been woefully inadequate

noteworthy is the recognition that antidepressant are apparently not as safe as has long been told to us
Good to note risks of existing antidepressants (as the article does), but the quest to find safer ones will no doubt continue to expose pregnant women to ineffective and unnecessary chemicals

One of the practical tools mentioned in the new Maudsley Guidance are the tapering strips I have been working on for almost 15 years.
Because of careless prescription, many people (esp elderly) take too many meds at too high doses. Side effects now major cause of symptoms/complications. Deprescribing is crucial- but how get MDs/patients on board? Great int'l survey on patient views: https://t.co/8qj5uLFVCK

very sad indeed
Sadly, many of the 'Psychiatric Associations' I've encountered around the world have been much more intent on protecting the guild interest of psychiatrists than in promoting the welfare of patients.

Perhaps somebody is willing to make a book full of such clear examples?
Yes, them - psychiatrists and GPs - "we never said there was a chemical imbalance"... oh really....? (16 more where these came from, X allows max of 4 added 4 pics).

Chemically imbalance theory all over again: 'In depression, there is a deficiency of serotonin being sent to the receiving cell'. Not true and very sad. When will this stop? @joannamoncrieff

A new history of antidepressants challenges the evidence supporting their use.
No benefit? Fine. "When I counsel patients on their antidepressant medication, I routinely ask, "Is this working for you?"...I often hear: "I guess it is, but then again, I don't really feel any different." ... that's not a bad answer for me to hear..."

Important to inform the general public about this important subject. Good to know that there is a practical way to help people come off these drugs more safely:
My pleasure to interview @joannamoncrieff for @thetimes on her important views on how few of us -including docs who prescribe regularly - actually understand what antidepressants do to the brain or acknowledge they may be v harmful. Amazing how many just don’t want to hear this

With an additional warning against abrupt stopping with antidepressants? With the addition that gradual tapering is indicated and also practically possible.
