Are You Confused About Antidepressants?

🤔 Should I even take them?

You're wondering if antidepressants are truly necessary for your situation, or if there are better alternatives you should try first.

⚠️ What are the REAL risks?

Between scary internet stories and pharmaceutical marketing, you can't figure out what's actually true about side effects and dependency.

⏰ How long will I need them?

Your doctor says "we'll see," but you want to understand what to expect and how to plan for the future.

🚪 How do I stop safely?

You want to discontinue but you're terrified of withdrawal symptoms and relapse. No one's given you a clear plan.

💊 Is my treatment working?

You're not sure if you feel better, if you should wait longer, or if you should try something different.

💬 What questions should I ask?

You want to have an informed conversation with your doctor, but you don't know what's important to discuss.

You Don't Need Another 400-Page Textbook

After witnessing decades of both over-prescription and under-treatment of depression, I wrote this book to provide the balanced, evidence-based guidance that patients desperately need but rarely receive.

My approach combines rigorous medical training with a deep respect for patient autonomy and informed consent. I believe every patient deserves to understand their treatment options fully before making decisions about their mental health.

"There is no miracle cure. But there are many paths to healing."

This book focuses on helping you use antidepressants consciously and effectively when needed, while also exploring alternatives and safe discontinuation strategies when appropriate.

Patients struggling with depression don't need a 400-page textbook. They need essential information they can actually read and use.
