Who actually needs antidepressants—and how do psychiatrists decide, beyond “just feeling sad”? Can therapy and medication work better together than either alone—and what myths about side-effects should we retire?
Join me and Dr Pretty Duggar Gupta, a psychiatrist from Aster Whitefield Hospital in Bengaluru, as we unpack depression without the fluff. We move past the ‘just think positive’ advice and explain who may need medication and how psychiatrists decide. We discuss side effects, timelines and why therapy with medication often works best. We also look at how depression affects your brain and your gut and what that means for daily life. This is a practical, science-backed episode that aims to leave you hopeful.
