E130 - What Should You Know about Anti-depressants? (feat. the Lively Minds podcast)

This week Alex goes on the the Lively Minds Podcast to chat to hosts Will and Ellie. They take a deep dive into anti-depressants and SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), which is the most commonly prescribed form of antidepressant in the UK.

They discuss what we know about the effectiveness of SSRIs, what we don't, and why there is so much debate about their use.
