The Psychiatric Survivors Movement has been growing for decades. There are multitudinous people who have been harmed by interventions irresponsibly conducted/prescribed by psychiatrists. Author and educator Ann Bracken is one such survivor. In the 51st episode of the Psychology Is Podcast, she tells her story about being depressed and overmedicated, then overcoming her depression and recovering from the harmful effects of the drugs she had been prescribed.
Ann Bracken detailed her experience in her memoir, Crash: A Memoir of Overmedication and Recovery.

This podcast is not meant to provide medical advice. Discontinuing psychiatric drugs, just like discontinuing illicit addictive psychoactive substances, is a decision that must be made carefully and a process that requires significant support and professional supervision.
