Radosław Stupak, a psychologist and lecturer at the University of the National Education Commission in Krakow, Poland, expresses support for a letter calling for the UK government to reduce the rate of antidepressant prescribing. He hopes that this action will lead to changes in mental health systems globally, moving towards a more socially conscious and responsible approach to psychiatry. Stupak criticizes the prioritization of “marketing based medicine” over evidence-based medicine. He advocates for a shift away from a reductionist medical model in addressing mental health issues. He emphasizes the need for the UK to lead the way in implementing these long overdue changes.
