Video transcript: "One of the things that more and more we get requests about are people that are on prescribed medication and it can be from their general practitioner or from their psychiatrist.
And these might be legacy medications that were relevant at one time in their life, but now they're looking at a period where they might want to come off these medications and finding it difficult or challenging, or not really sure where to get the support for that.
One of the things that we're quite familiar with doing here at Schoen Clinic is de-prescribing and doing that in a supportive and safe way.
So for those people that find themselves on medications, be it benzodiazepines, controlled drugs, maybe antidepressants or antipsychotics, where they find it very difficult to take themselves off those medications, we'd like to be able to support with that in a safe way via our outpatient services.
I'm Dr Masud I'm a General Adult Psychiatrist and addiction specialist at Schoen Clinic Chelsea. Please get in touch for more information."
