Brooke Siem's Year of Living Dangerously with Antidepressant Withdrawal

This video chat with Brooke Siem, survivor of a year of living dangerously with antidepressant withdrawal syndrome, was recorded live on November 11, 2022. Brooke recounted this in a new book, "May Cause Side Effects", the first memoir on antidepressant withdrawal to hit the mass-market, a milestone in the effort to bring global awareness to this common pitfall of antidepressant treatment. Her journey included a TV appearance on Chopped, roughing it (reluctantly) around the world, & intense inner discovery. We'll talk about Brooke's vividly observed experience, what withdrawal feels like, and the survival skills we both had to learn to get here today, as well as the public's response to this remarkable work. Q&A from viewers to follow. Adele Framer (Alto Strata) will host this chat.
