Danielle Gansky

Danielle Gansky is a patient safety advocate, speaker, and leading voice in the de-prescribing movement. Prescribed psychiatric medications at age 7, she spent decades navigating a system that offered little guidance on the risks of long-term use or the reality of withdrawal.

Today she lives with lasting neurological damage from SSRI withdrawal — an injury still unrecognized by much of mainstream medicine. Her work centers on translating personal experience into policy change: mandatory informed consent, evidence-based tapering protocols, and formal medical recognition of antidepressant withdrawal injury.

She writes and speaks widely on the intersection of psychiatry, pharmaceutical regulation, and public health, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today, Daily Mail, and by the MAHA Institute.
