According to PsychWatch Australia, nine members of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists(RANZCP) wrote to their College President, Associate Professor Vinay Lakra, requesting that the RANZCP remove a misleading webpage that claimed that antidepressants and other psychiatric "medications work by rebalancing the chemicals in the brain". And the claim seems to be accepted.

Nine members are Professor Jon Jureidini, Dr Paul Denborough, Dr Mark Horowitz, Dr Sam Lieblich, Dr Niall McLaren, Professor Peter Parry, Dr Robert Purssey, Associate Professor Carolyn Quadrio, and Dr David Ward. They pointed out that current scientific understandings are rudimentary at best. Compared with other aspects of medicine, very littlin known about how biochemistry, brain, body and behaviour interact.

See the details in its blog.

2003 July CLZ 0.5mgX3/D CLI 25mgX4/D →polypharmacy world, 2013~TK & family's struggled to get out of this anxious hell, stopping stable work (TK & me). After 19 years, we finally see the light.  Black part was original signature.

(2017 Feb. CLZ 3mg, CLI 50mg,  June.-Sep. CLZ liquid tapering failed. Extremely ill. nothing could stabilize. Oct.  Crossover CLZ 3mg to DIZ 60mg, Start Ashton Protocol tapering. PAR 12.5mg, PRO 10mgX3 as needed.  2018  tapering continued till June  DIZ tapering 10%/ month or slower, June 26 Sudden Crossover PAR 12.5mg to ESCIT 10mg, Dec.12 Sudden Crossover DIZ 6mg to CLZ 1.5mg(2 wks), Dec. 20 ESCIT tapering finished.  2019  Jan.1 Holding CLZ 0.5mg, dull pain started in limbs, Feb. 11  CLZ tapering too difficult/jumped 0.125mg→0mg, Mar.16 Fibromyalgia diagnosis, Mar.19~  Neurotropin tab 4 n.u. 2- 6 tablets/D. for 3 weeks only. No use. Mar.19 At pain clinic: Neo Vitacain Injection 5mlX2, Mar.22 Fascia release injection, Mar.24~till now tobacco cessation, Mar.25 & April.8,9 Pregabalin 75mgX2.) The Cure was the Cause. On Feb 11 2022, the family will celebrate TK's 3-year-complete cessation of all drugs (after many failures in the past). It was severe PWS, followed by so called "FM, ME/CFS, POTS, and hypoglycemia diagnoses". But Now his gentle personality, Circadian Rhythm, coping skills are all back. Muscle weakness and pains still remain but he manages.  I'm so grateful to SA for the vital information, VC,Omega3, Mg.
