So we need to adapt and be open to treatments changing absolutely. Yeah, maybe I'm going to start drinking fizzy water. Great, yeah, all right, and we'll see you next time. Hope is in the water that sprouts the seed. I hope that you hope- because everyone's future is resting on your hope- can take the worst thing and turn it around. When you're shifting with gold, hope will make you young.
Ever wondered how much control you truly have over your mental health treatment? In this episode of 'ReAwaken', psychotherapists Matt Ball and Rory Ritchie from the Humane Clinic tackle the complex topic of medication in mental health. They dive into the importance of patient autonomy and the power of making informed choices about your own treatment.
Instead of just accepting a mental illness label and the prescribed drugs that often come with it, Matt and Rory encourage listeners to explore alternative therapies like psychotherapy and community support. They also don't shy away from discussing the side effects of medication, including its impact on relationships and sexual health. This episode is all about opening up the conversation and staying hopeful for better, more personalized care.
Whether you're dealing with mental health issues yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a compassionate perspective.
