Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) is a painful, life-altering condition that’s often dismissed by the medical community — despite its devastating impact on both adults and children. From sleepless nights to CPS threats against parents refusing more steroids, TSW presents enormous physical and emotional challenges.

In this episode, filmmaker and advocate Briana Banos returns to share her powerful journey and the impact of her documentaries Preventable and Still Preventable, which shine a light on the realities of TSW, its history, and the growing movement for awareness and reform.

If you’re wondering what TSW is or want to be part of the change, this episode is a must-listen.
