Tell Me, What Exactly are SSRI’s? with Psych NP Mikey Whited (he/they)

We hear medication terms and names thrown around all of the time. By our friends, social media, even doctors will just suggest something but won’t really take the time to explain. My Therapist is Out and Mikey Whited, Pscyh NP (he/they) are here to help make all that medical jargon really clear for you as we dive into SSRI medication today. 

 

SSRIs have been around for a long-time and are typically used to help reduce depression symptoms. However these Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are so much more! Join us as we talk about how they work (and don’t), how you’re brain and gut are utilized while taking SSRIs and all the details in between.
