Are Antidepressants Ruining Relationships?

Send us Fan Mail

Weaving through the delicate intricacies of how antidepressants shape the emotional and intimate landscapes of our lives, Dr. Teralyn, along with therapist Jen, embark on a candid exploration that many shy away from. Ever felt that tug in your chest, the one that pulls at the threads of connection between you and your partner as you navigate the waters of mental health treatment? We've been there, and in this episode, we unveil the raw and often unseen effects of medications like sertraline and Lexapro on love, longing, and the longing to connect.

Emotions run deep as we peel back the layers of postpartum depression and the hushed struggles mothers face, particularly when antidepressants enter the picture. Delving into our own battles with intrusive thoughts and the scarcity of protective factors for new mothers, we aim to dismantle the stigma and spark discussions that could pave the way for better support and understanding. And it doesn't stop there; we probe the parallels of withdrawal, both from antidepressants and the bonds that sustain us, considering how these medications color our personal narratives and the fabric of our relationships.
