Moving beyond habits, he delves into the profound meaning and joy that rituals bring, illuminating how they animate our existence and foster emotional regulation, resilience, and connection.

From coping with grief to savouring moments of joy, rituals play a pivotal role in navigating life's transitions and fostering emotional well-being.

Welcome to today's HEALING 101 episode featuring Dr. Mark Horowitz, co-author of The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, a groundbreaking publication that offers an evidence-based approach to safely taper off psychiatric medications. Dr. Horowitz's personal experience with challenging withdrawal from SSRIs inspired him to investigate a new gold standard for safe medication withdrawal, known as hyperbolic tapering. This method, contrary to current practices, emphasises a slow and intentional process to minimize withdrawal symptoms.
With 1 in 4 Americans on antidepressants and many facing withdrawal challenges, Dr. Horowitz's work is more critical than ever. As the co-founder of Outro Health, a platform and virtual clinic dedicated to supporting individuals tapering off SSRIs safely, he is at the forefront of revolutionising mental health care. Join us as we delve into this essential topic and explore ways to empower individuals to reclaim control of their mental health journey.

On today’s episode, I am joined by James O'Loghlin, a distinguished television and radio host, acclaimed author, and one of Australia’s foremost corporate speakers. I first discovered James when I was in Sydney a few months ago and heard his podcast with Professor Ian Hickie (another one of our previous guests) called Minding Your Mind. Today's episode is a slightly different format to our regular Tuesday episodes, rather than being about James' own mental health journey, the conversation revolves around the importance of human connection for mental health and its pivotal role in nurturing our mental wellbeing.
