SERTRALINE SISTERS with Jazz Thornton & why you should take your meds

It’s me! Sharyn Casey! You friend and overuser of exclamation marks!  I was sitting with a friend recently which reminded me of a conversation I’ve had so many times before with other people and myself - the conversation about whether or not to start medication for my mental health.  I’ve been on Sertraline for anxiety and depression for about 4 years and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. When thinking on this topic my mate and mental health advocate Jazz Thornton was the perfect guest to discuss the process with, Jazz shares her decision to go back on medication last year, her and I’s history which we’ve never spoken in depth about before. When talking about medication for our mental health, I wanted to pick the brain of Psychiatrist Robert Marchl on how the medication works, the stigma around them, are we being over prescribed and what’s the journey like adjusting to meds.  This is a great episode for understanding, help with making the decision or just a couple of people that get how you feel   HELPFUL LINKS: Helpful links Find the pod on social media @bettermehopefullypodcastFind Sharyn @SharynCasey   Thanks heaps for listening you lovely human See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
