Are you or someone you know taking an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) for depression or anxiety?
This is an audio recording from an interview with Dr Joanna Moncrieff author of Chemically Imbalanced The Making and Unmaking of the Seratonin Myth. It lays bare what every person taking an SSRI (or friend or family of one) needs to know.
We cover emotional numbing and weight gain, nausea and dizziness, lack of studies on exactly what SSRIs do to the brain when on them long term, and where to go for help safely and gradually withdrawing if you are considering doing so. Plus, how exercise and social prescribing fit in.
For the whole story, I thoroughly recommend reading Dr Moncrieff’s brave book, Chemically Imbalanced. It’s an uncomfortable but essential read.
