Mood Meds: What You Need to Know

With: Deborah Finklestein, M.D. - General and Addiction Psychiatrist

About This Session:

Are you at a point where you think you might need anti-depressants or anxiety medication? Already on them and wonder if you’re on the right ones, or if you’ll ever be able to get off them?

Come to this workshop if you want to understand how your brain chemistry works, and why you should or shouldn’t be tinkering with yours.

Dr. Deborah Finklestein will break down the basics of mood meds and their side effects, help you understand whether or not they can work for you and how to properly monitor them. She’ll also demystify the stigma of being “medicated,” and help you understand the reality of their benefits as well as their limitations, for adults as well as children.
