First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 56 adults who had fully recovered from depression and wanted to stop their antidepressant. Researchers wanted to see if how much you expect to have withdrawal symptoms affects how bad they actually are. Some people stopped their medication openly, some secretly, and others continued—all to compare the role of expectations versus the drug itself.
