Urgent need to find safe ways for patients to withdraw from antidepressants, survey finds

Lead author of the review, GP and emeritus professor of general practice at the University of Queensland, Mieke van Driel, said the researchers compared different approaches and looked at benefits, such as successful stopping rates, and harms reported during and after stopping. Withdrawal symptoms and harms reported during stopping included insomnia, low mood, anxiety and changes to appetite, but these can also be symptoms of a return of depression. “In a nutshell there was only very low certainty evidence on the pros and cons of each of the different approaches to stopping, making it difficult to reach any firm conclusions at this time,” van Driel said. “The key issue is that studies do not distinguish between symptoms of a return or relapse of depression and symptoms of withdrawal after stopping, and that’s really problematic.”

People are walking around with really high levels of distress : Australia s regional mental health plight

‘People are walking around with really high levels of distress’: Australia’s regional mental health plight Celina Ribeiro Dr Katherine Graham has been a GP in Horsham for 12 years now. It’s a market town in the Wimmera region, about halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide; one of those larger-sized rural towns where people within a two-hour radius come to do the big shop. It’s surrounded by agriculture: cropping, sheep, cattle. There are about 20,000 people in Horsham, but tens of thousands more from surrounding areas use the town as a hub for their health care. For those people Horsham does not offer much if their mental health requires care.
