Today we discuss:

• The problems with viewing depression primarily through a biomedical lens • The causes of depression • The limitations of anti-depressants, the risks of withdrawal symptoms when stopping them and Mark’s own personal experiences with this • Some useful principles in how to wean off psychiatric medications safely if you are considering doing so
