Thoughts on Antidepressants

Afaf Ouardi
About this episode

People love talking about mental health until medication becomes part of the conversation. Suddenly, antidepressants and any psychiatric medication are treated as something scary, shameful, or life-changing in the worst way possible. A recap about the last couple of months led me to talk about the stigma around mental medication, the myths people still believe, the fear of “losing yourself” under a treatment. It is simply an honest conversation about survival, healing, and why asking for professional help should not be treated like something weak.
