S2. E20. Why I Take Medication for Social Anxiety Your Social Anxiety Bestie with Sadie
-
- Mental Health
*Super important disclaimer: This post is not meant to influence your medication decisions one way or another. I just remember wishing I could find some first-person accounts of what life was like before and during medication. That's all this is. At all times, trust your doctor's expertise over mine.*
Medication is not a magical cure-all. But for me, it's been a science-backed help-a-lot.
I was afraid to take medication because of the potential side effects I read about online... until I realized that untreated anxiety had its OWN side effects, and those side effects sucked.
This episode shares some insight into my medication journey and opens the floor to questions and discussion!
