You’ve heard of antidepressants—but what do those letters even mean? In this episode, we break down the difference between SSRIs and SNRIs in a way that’s actually understandable. You’ll learn what these medications do in the brain, why they’re prescribed, how long they take to work, and what to expect along the way—including side effects and black box warnings.
We also talk about the frustration, fear, and stigma that come with starting medication—and why taking meds doesn’t mean you’re weak.
Whether you’re considering medication, already on it, or just curious, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and science without the jargon.
