The Thinking Mind Podcast: Psychiatry & Psychotherapy

Mark Horowitz is a training psychiatrist, now working as a Clinical Research Fellow at UCL.

He has a PhD in psychopharmacology and the neurobiology of depression from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London. He also co-wrote the Maudsley Deprescribing guidelines.

Mark has his own blog https://markhorowitz.org/ and has written in the media about his own personal experiences with antidepressant withdrawal syndrome.

Today we discuss:

 • 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
