Episode A Psychiatrists Guide to Coming Off Antidepressants | Mark Horowitz | Be Well Moments

0:00 10:46

This week’s Live Well Be Well Moment is with Dr Mark Horowitz, lead author of the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, the UK NHS’s official guidance on safely stopping psychiatric medication.

This is a moment from the episode that stuck with me: Dr Horowitz explains the liquid tapering method for coming off antidepressants, the non-linear dose-response curve behind that “jumping off a cliff” feeling, and what a genuinely safe, gradual reduction can actually look like.
