1:03:01Now PlayingMillions of people take antidepressants and psychiatric medications every day. For many, they can be life-changing. But what happens when the treatment itself becomes difficult to stop?
In this episode, Kelsi Sheren sits down with Dr. Josef, psychiatrist and mental health expert, for a candid conversation about antidepressants, anxiety medications, withdrawal, dependence, informed consent, and the questions many patients feel they're not allowed to ask.
Together they discuss:
• Why psychiatric medications have become so common
• What patients should know before starting treatment
• The reality of withdrawal and discontinuation symptoms
• How dependence differs from addiction
• When medication can be life-saving
• When alternative approaches may deserve more attention
• The role of therapy, exercise, sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle changes
• Why informed consent matters in mental health care
This is not a conversation about being "for" or "against" medication.
It's a conversation about giving patients the information they need to make informed decisions about their own health.
Whether you're currently taking psychiatric medication, considering it, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers an honest look at one of the most important and controversial topics in modern medicine.
