Beverley Thomson is a writer, researcher and speaker with a focus on psychiatric medication including antidepressants, benzodiazepines and ADHD drugs; their history, how the drugs work, adverse effects, dependence, withdrawal and development of patient support services.

Her latest book Antidepressed breaks it all down into a resource that educates both patients and mental health professionals on the growing issue of antidepressant use, harm and dependence.

A Breakthrough Examination of Epidemic Antidepressant Harm and Dependence Paperback – January 4, 2022

IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT STOP YOUR ANTIDEPRESSANTS SUDDENLY OR TOO FAST.

If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.
