Inspiration, Hope, and Healing: Psychiatric Withdrawal Success Stories
Three remarkable stories of challenge and triumph over the discontinuation of psychiatric drugs followed by a discussion and audience Q&A.
About this Event: Please join Mad in America and the International Institute for Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal on May 11th as we hear the success stories of guest speakers Brooke Siem, Gemma Da Costa, and Michael Priebe who endured grueling withdrawals from antidepressants and benzodiazepines. These incredible panelists will share information and inspiration for those on the journey, their loved ones, practitioners, and anyone interested in the topic. There will be a deep dive into what helped each panelist heal and move on to live a fulfilling life. We’ll share valuable resources and the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions.
