Medication is never a first choice. If my brain were chemically balanced, I wouldn't need medication. Unfortunately, I do. Fortunately, it means I cannot only survive, but thrive in my daily life. #MentalHealth
@maddyeisenberg Maddy, you have a strong life line.
@maddyeisenberg Not sure this fights stigma by saying it is not a first choice. Why not?
@maddyeisenberg Thank you for sharing - it is important to fight the stigma that medicating to keep your mental health in a good place. I also medicate for this and it is a world of good and lets me accomplish what I need to do.
@maddyeisenberg There’s no shame in needing medication. If your kidneys weren’t functioning at its best capacity, you’d likely take something to balance it out properly. Mental health IS health! Live your best life and do what’s best for you! We got you! ❤️🩹
@maddyeisenberg No problem I take an antidepressant, and serequel to sleep. I have been on meds before and after my husband die. It's chemistry, so diabetics take insulin, no difference! Judi Onthemove.
