DESCRIPTION

From the website:

“Along with our TWP Connect community-building and networking tool, our website provides information and resources about psychiatric drugs and withdrawal from them, much of which has been gathered from the broad community of ordinary people who have experienced withdrawal first-hand. These resources are designed to support you in your process of self-education regarding taking and coming off psychiatric drugs – whether you are a person currently taking medications or someone who knows, supports or works with a person who is on medications.”

For teaching purposes, this site can be used as a resource for students in understanding the problems of drug withdrawal from actual prescribed psychiatric medications.  This site can be used in conjunction with the chapter on types of therapies, health psychology, and Addiction.
