Thinking about trying medication or going back on it? This episode is for you!

  • My honest thoughts on medication as a tool for recovery
  • Why medication is not a cure, but a supportive tool
  • Common mental blocks around taking medication and how to get past them
  • The biggest mistakes people make when considering medication
