Anna Sanchez, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C
Psych Nurse Practitioner podcasts discuss topics related to mental health. It is important that we continue our advocacy, education, stigma reduction and leadership in the realms of mental health. Listen in weekly for up to date research, conversations and stories. Nurse practitioners are expertise in their field of work.
Let’s Talk Withdrawal was started with a simple aim, to share lived experience accounts of psychiatric drug withdrawal and to provide interviews with experts in the field. Psychiatric drug withdrawal remains a largely hidden, seldom discussed issue, yet affects countless people. We aim to add to the discussion and debate. Our interviews include people with experience of taking and coming off antidepressants, antipsychotics and benzodiazepines.
