Misleading paper by drug company funded psychiatrists grossly minimises the antidepressant withdrawal effects with which millions are struggling. Intentional malevolence or unintentional incompetence?Time for journal to issue a correction?

Survey data includes 100s of people in the real world who have been on the drugs for months or years, unlike the studies included in the misleading JAMA review.
@markhoro I just don’t think the piece is a fair portrayal of the thoughtfulness that @sameerjauhar and group put into it. The study authors clearly describe limitations in their paper. I think most of the debate on X has been pretty productive. I agree that changing policy completely.

NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO (NPR) in USA. Fairly balanced account of the recent flawed paper by @sameerjauhar et al. A new study renews the debate around withdrawal from stopping antidepressants
