Deprescribing in Psychiatry
Keyword(s):
This chapter introduces the concept of deprescribing in psychiatry, along with the rationale for its importance. Emerging from geriatric medicine, the reduction or stopping of medications in psychiatry goes beyond deciding which, when, and how to decrease a medication to also encompass psychological and social considerations. Settings for deprescribing, along with the involved ethics, are also touched upon. Deprescribing is placed in the context of recovery-oriented care as a broad-ranging intervention encompassing the complexity of decision-making and the doctor–patient relationship. The chapter sets the foundation for the rest of the book, laying out the rationale, structure, and goals of the text.
