Alicia Martin is an Australian community pharmacist and the creator of an ingenious mobile app, TaperMate, which aims to help people with hyperbolic drug tapering and prescribed drug withdrawal.

The Accord program in Arlington Massachusetts will provide a test of whether an intensive ketogenic program, when combined with drug-tapering support, can lead to robust recovery over the long term, with diminished use--or no ongoing use--of psychiatric medications.

Agnes Higgins and Cathal Cadogan join us to discuss their work on understanding the experiences of people tapering from psychiatric medication and the role that pharmacists could potentially play when people are considering stopping their psychiatric drugs.

The medications are there to disconnect us from our divine, creative Self, but the human being is remarkable and incredibly resilient.
