Antidepressant usage in the UK has risen by 170% since the year 2000, according to a recent study<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In 2018 alone, more than seven million adults were prescribed antidepressants in England, with 56% reporting withdrawal symptoms after attempting to come off them.<\/p>\n

Despite withdrawal symptoms being described as “Usually mild and self-limiting over about one week,” by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (Nice), 46% of those who have tried to wean themselves off have described the effects as severe.<\/p>\n

With alternatives to medication such as CBT and counselling becoming increasingly limited and costly, medication is the simplest and quickest fix for many people suffering with mental health problems. <\/p>\n

Yet, with these antidepressants being advised as a short-term solution which is best combined with other forms of therapy, it seems something is not quite right.<\/p>\n

Antidote 2 Antidepressant<\/a> wants to change this. The Manchester-based campaign aims to find a way to reduce the prescription and increase education about the long-term effects of antidepressants.<\/p>\n

Keep up to date with the campaign by following us on Twitter<\/a><\/u> and Facebook<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
