Depression, anxiety, aggression can all be triggered by the adverse effects of medicines for everyday problems. Drugs for indigestion, acne, pain and many other non psychiatric problems can cause psychiatric adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and withdrawal problems. Addictive antidepressants, pain killers and tranquillisers lead to loss of ability to work or study. Businesses and careers as well as family life may be devastated by ADRs and withdrawal effects. APRIL is an awareness tool. We can offer talks to staff and management about healthy living and ways of coping with stress without resorting to drugs. This can improve the attitude and understanding about the need to be aware and vigilant before taking pills! Our Wellbeing workshops have offered tasters of massage, autogenic training (deep muscle and breathing relaxation ), drama therapy. singing and exercise.
