Listen "Pills vs Therapy: The truth behind Your Mental health Choices"
Episode Synopsis
Which is better for treatment: pills or therapy?
I delve into the critical debate comparing psychotherapy and SSRIs for treating depression and anxiety. This episode unpacks the mechanics and effectiveness of SSRIs -medications like Prozac and Zoloft that adjust brain chemistry- and contrast them with the introspective journey of psychotherapy.
With contributions from Dr Roger Mcfillin, I explore how each method addresses symptoms, the deeper issues at play, and their suitability based on individual needs. Whether you're contemplating starting therapy, considering medication, or seeking a blend of both, this episode guides you through understanding some options for your mental health journey.
