America's Over-Medication Epidemic

Real America

America is medicated. Many, me, would say overmedicated. Antidepressants are all the rage now, so much so that influencers are promoting them on TikTok. Are you on meds? Do you wish you weren’t? To be clear, I’m not advocating that anybody suddenly stops taking their meds. But this week our conversation is with Laura Delano, author of Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance, which chronicles her haphazard diagnosis with bipolar disorder at the age of 14 and the 13 year saga of unending treatments, various diagnoses and a cornucopia of medications that she went through and how she got to the other side to living life med free.
