Hello there!
Welcome to Season 3, Episode 1 of my Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast!
As requested by my readers, today's topic focuses on protracted psychiatric medication withdrawal—a common and often difficult problem to treat.
Today's podcast summarizes what I know about this problem and my approach to healing patients from chronic debilitation and damage caused by improper psychiatric medication withdrawal.
🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
What protracted withdrawal really is—and how it differs from normal tapering.
Why even "mild" meds like SSRIs can lead to long-term effects on the gut, neurotransmitters, and immune system
How genetics and detox pathways (like those found through 23andMe) can influence withdrawal severity.
The role of the immune system and inflammation in protracted symptoms.
Why proper withdrawal protocols and experienced guidance are critical for healing.
How Dr. Lee’s Energy Medicine Techniques (like EET and Infinite Intention Techniques) are helping patients recover.
The importance of activated B vitamins and glandular support to restore health.
Please share this important topic with those who would benefit from this information!
Have a wonderful week!
