You asked, I answered. Today’s episode is an Ask Me Anything. If you grew up hearing “only crazy people take pills,” this episode of mental health medication is for you. And probably your parents.

What this episode covers:

• What antidepressant am I on right now?

• What was my first experience with antidepressants? 

• What side effects do I experience with my antidepressants?

• What are the pros of antidepressants?

• What are the cons of antidepressants?

• Am I nervous about being on antidepressants for the rest of my life?

Breaking away from my scheduled programming to share the three takeaways I left with after watching the Oprah, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry interview:

1. You can feel there is no way out even when seemingly the world is at your disposal. 
2. Toxic family members are not entitled to your loyalty or your presence. 
3. Your spouse should be your mental health advocate, always.
