Description
Based on a 6-month prospective cohort study we want to examine how, and if, primary care patients manage to stopp antidepressant treatment. Our main objective is to study the occurrence of withdrawal reactions, which can develop when patients try to come off antidepressants. We will also examine quality of life, depressiveness, and anxiety symptoms.
