Description

In this episode we are joined by Dr Riitta Partanen who is a GP and Associate Professor at the Rural Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland in Australia.Paper: GPs’ insights about discontinuing long-term antidepressant use: a qualitative studyhttps://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2020.0913Most antidepressant prescriptions are generated in general practice and discontinuation is challenging. Understanding GPs’ insights into decision-making around discontinuing long-term antidepressant use is needed to underpin change. This study points to discontinuation as a journey for the GP-patient dyad that is not a simple deprescribing decision but is built on relationship and grounded in enabling social context.
