What nobody tells you about anti-depressants, with Laura Delano

What nobody tells you about anti-depressants, with Laura Delano

With many midlife women being routinely prescribed mental health medications, speaker and writer Laura Delano joins Liz to help us make more informed decisions about these treatments.


Laura talks Liz through her childhood and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a teen, plus the many mental health medications she was prescribed that had little effect.


Laura also discusses the impact of being told she was 'treatment resistant', shares her advice on how to come off psychiatric drugs safely, and why, despite her experience, she is not anti-medication or anti-psychiatry.


Content warning: this episode contains frank conversation about suicide, which some listeners may find distressing.
