  Mar 25, 202635 minS1

  <p>Mark Horowitz, Associate Professor of Psychiatry,  did his PhD in how antidepressants work and prescribed psychiatric drugs to his patients regularly as part of clinical practice. However, when he faces a near-fatal experience coming off his own drugs he is forced to re-think what he has been taught about these drugs and how they work.

A compelling case for choosing words with care as we examine how diagnostic framing shapes patient identity, clinical interactions, and outcomes. </p>

  Beyond Medication: Social Prescribing

  Mar 25, 202634 minS1

  <p>Medication isn’t the only answer and sometimes it isn’t the right one. Joined by Dr Candice Oster, we explore social prescribing: the emerging practice of connecting people to community, purpose, and practical support when unmet social needs are driving distress. A compelling case for formalising an approach that treats the whole person, not just their symptoms.</p>
