Changing The Language

I don't like when someone calls antidepressants/anti-anxiety pills "happy pills", or meds for bipolar or other conditions "crazy pills. It's inaccurate and inappropriate. The pills help a person stabilize to a functional level, they are not the key to happiness. And it's degrading to use the term "crazy" for a health condition.

I have told my mom that I don't like the term "happy pills". She says my sister calls her meds her "happy pills" so it's ok. I still don't think so.

Have you heard these terms? What did you do and how did you feel when you heard them?

Do antidepressants and anti anxiety cause short term memory loss?

I’ve been on just about every antidepressant, anti anxiety, mood stabilizer, and seizure medicine there is over the last 30 years. Within the last few months, I’ve started having problems with my short term memory. I’m only 44. #Antidepressants #antianxiety #shortturnmemoryloss
