focuses on the experience of being prescribed psychiatric medications, being on psychiatric medications, the direct benefits, indirect benefits (like the placebo effect), and negative consequences of being on psychiatric medications, and the saga of trying to get off of and live without psychiatric medications.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCentering first-person accounts, users describe their physical, psychological and existential challenges dealing with the powerful chemicals that today form the first-line “treatment” of so-called mental disorders, to include reports on the coercive nature of provider\/user interactions, identify disruption, and tapering and withdrawal efforts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIncluded are the observations and suggestions of de- prescribing advocates, an examination of the relationships among tech, fitness wearables, data collection, and the user’s experience, and the prevalence and value of peer-support and user-to-user experiences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnchoring chapters will look at the following meta issues: the extent to which user reports can and should be considered accurate, reliable and\/or valuable information, the absence of official guidelines and regulatory narratives that would protect users, and the question of how to situate first-person reports in understanding human distress.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe
