Why are medications so complicated?

Take a pill and it will all be better. Unfortunately, some cultures have the message that medications will solve everything. While we don't believe that is true, medications can be helpful. They can also be very complicated. This episode we are discussing our experience with medications and psychiatry as both professionals and people who take medications themselves. We are not prescribing or making medical recommendations but hope this episode can be helpful in learning how to talk about what you need to your supports and to professionals.
