Anders Sørensen is a Danish psychologist, who also has a doctorate in tapering off psychotropic drugs. As a student, he was primarily interested in psychotherapy and how to help people with emotional difficulties. But then he discovered drugs dampened the emotions in such a way that it got in the way of actually working with them. Already as a psychology student, Anders saw that psychiatric drugs stood in the way of helping people with mental difficulties. His interest in medicine led him to further studies. Anders now helps people taper off and shares important knowledge about the harmful and addictive drugs.

MITUK’s mission is to serve as a catalyst for fundamentally re-thinking theory and practice in the field of mental health in the UK, and promoting positive change. We believe that the current diagnostically-based paradigm of care has comprehensively failed, and that the future lies in non-medical alternatives which explicitly acknowledge the causal role of social and relational conflicts, abuses, adversities and injustices.
