About the Psychotropic Deprescribing Council
Offering a new paradigm in psychotropic treatment
We envision doctors and patients working together to safely reduce or stop psychotropic medications when appropriate. Through knowledge, compassion, and wrap-around care, clinical practice will minimize withdrawal symptoms and relapse risk while empowering patients to move on to the next chapter in their lives.
Why The Psychotropic Deprescribing Council?
Millions of Americans take psychotropic drugs, most often prescribed for mental health conditions and pain management, yet clinicians receive virtually no training on how to safely end these treatments. The Psychotropic Deprescribing Council was founded to address this critical gap in medical knowledge.
What we do
Our aim is to provide education to increase the number of clinicians knowledgeable in deprescribing best practices. Our major activities include:
As an organization dedicated to research and education, the PDC does not offer medical, psychotherapeutic, or peer support services for individuals.
