How you can be happier (after antidepressants)

Note: This is an extended episode of Happy Brain! If you want to jump right to Brooke’s Happiness Tip, start at 12:30. (But I encourage you to listen to her powerful story!)

Happy Brain listeners, do you want a powerful story on the struggles of getting off antidepressants? Do you want some techniques to deal with life after that? Then you will really connect with this episode! Stick around if you are, like me, are still on antidepressants or off them or want to hear ways to improve your mood.

Discover the inspiring journey of Brooke Siem, whose decision to confront her mental health without medication took an unexpected turn. As she embarked on a year of travel to find her own baseline, she unknowingly plunged into a severe antidepressant withdrawal that lasted over a year. But don't worry, Brooke's story doesn't end there. Find out how she developed a unique system to track her progress and make 51% decisions with her Daily Happiness Scale, and learn how you can navigate the challenges of antidepressant withdrawal or mental health challenges in general. Stay tuned to uncover Brooke's powerful coping tips and embrace a new chapter of resilience and growth.
