Medication as Support, Not a Fixer
Taking medication for mental health doesn't solve all problems. Even with medication, bad days still happen because humans are complex beings. People sometimes overestimate the power of drugs to fix everything, but they are just a part of the solution. The speaker shares their experience of not increasing the dose to avoid pushing it, reflecting a societal complexity in our relationship with drugs. The conversation touches on the historical negative connotations of drugs and the modern acceptance of their beneficial role. Dr. Max Davy, a pediatrician, will provide insights on how drugs work, their effects, and potential side effects.
