This guy seems like an amazing psychiatrist!
He really is!
Drug company-funded BS, DSM lies
I have been in therapy for awhile now and originally did not want medication for my depression and anxiety. I just thought I wasn't trying hard enough or what I was learning in therapy wasn't helping. Eventually I got to the point where my anxiety and depression was really interfering with my every day life- I was getting frequent panic attacks and could not go through my every day routine well. My therapist referred me to see a doctor to possibly try medication. I have been on paxil for about 4 months and it has helped so much!! I can drive places without panic and talk with people without so much anxiety. For me it took the edge off of everything so that I could actually work on things in therapy. The message I want to send to others is if you are not making progress in therapy and you talk with your therapist/doctor/psychiatrist and decide to give medication a try is it can help you so you can work through things in therapy. The combination of paxil and therapy has helped so much!!!
Thank you for sharing your story!!! This is exactly what I think about medication and therapy!!! We sometimes need medication so that we can participate in therapy at all! So important to talk about :) xoxo
Whats Paxil, wonder if that will help me, thanks
Honestly we need to break the stigma around psych meds!! EVERY medication has side effects, yet people pop painkillers like it's the most normal thing. WHY would this be different? Its again the stigma around mental health.
Totally!!! I couldn't have said it better myself!! Thank you so much for speaking up about this!!! xoxo
Lis Eich how many months psychiatric appointment last sleeping these psychiatric drug cause
Yeah take them and it will ruin your life
Antibiotics are not brain damaging and disabling.
Get your knowledge correct.
Yeah and The fact of The matter that people rip cocaine at parties, but rarely Are we making this a huge stigma, but antidepressants is so bad, Ooh its The devil! People should Get off Them. This needs to stop
Psych meds are tricky... Before I was diagnosed with bipolar, I was put on Celexa and hated it. I was a zombie and had severe sexual side-effects. Then once diagnosed..For bipolar, I was on Seroquel for a couple years, but was so tired I couldn't function & gained over 100lbs. Then I was on Limotrigine, and that one put me in the hospital. Then I was put on Latuda, and it made me so numb that I couldn't feel human emotions and started cutting again to "feel something" again. So currently I'm not on anything. Psych med changes are so rough.. Sooo rough.
Sounds like me. I've tried many, many a psych med but got my best results from Lithium. It's very popular/helpful for people w/ Bipolar. 😊
Yes they definitely can be rough. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I hope that if you feel medication is right for you.. that you are able to find one that helps without terrible side effects. xoxo
This is why I watch Dr. Kelly Brogan. We are so fixated on the idea of medication like it's some sort of medical breakthrough. When in reality depression rates are increasing and suicide rates are increasing. I believe that more studies need to be done on natural alternatives. My counselor told me that she looks at medication as a tool, but I look at it as a fault. She also asked me why I'm so reluctant to go on meds. She asked is it because of the chemicals? Then proceeded to say because everything's chemicals. When that was said all I could think about was everything that's happening in our world that's supposedly safe and healthy when it's not. If you take a look at the food we eat alone it's horrid. We are shooting up animals with artificial growth hormones and feeding them diets that they are not biologically made to consume. We are genetically modifying our food, and the list goes on. We are consuming a 17 to 1 ratio of omega 6 fatty acids to a omega 3 fatty acids. I just saw a news report a couple weeks ago about taking Tylenol and that it can reduce your empathy. The funny thing is doctors and specialists don't even know why. If medication helps someone then awesome continue taking it. But looking at your case I think that there is a bigger picture here that the psychiatric world needs to wake up and see.
I just wanted to add that I'm not against other people taking medication I'm just not comfortable putting it in MY body. If it helps someone and they want that sort of treatment then by all means do so.
xo xo Exactly! I'm tired of people treating "side effects" like they don't exist, of psychiatrists seeing you as "non compliant" if you decide they're more harmful than the benefit you're getting. Yeah, everything is chemicals, but I never got akathisia or weight gain from broccoli....
I'd recommend Dr Stephen Illardi's TLC programme at the University of Kansas, even if it doesn't work for you the way it did for me it won't hurt
Let's get the conversation started! What do you think of medications for mental health? What have you been on or what have you heard about them?
For me, medication is an absolutely essential part of my treatment. I'm on lithium carbonate, propranolol, and Vistaril. I know that's a lot, but, even with DBT, my symptoms are unbearable at times, as I have bipolar 2, generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD, and conversion disorder. They even landed me in the hospital for 3 weeks last summer. You'd think I'd feel drugged on these meds, but, I actually feel more lucid than I did before I started taking them.
i've been on lexapro for about a year for anxiety. i am SO glad that you mentioned that there is nothing wrong with taking antidepressants long term if you feel its necessary. i just recently went for a check up with my gp and a visiting nurse from a practitioner program was trying to convince me that i needed to get off lexapro as soon as i could because it was bad for me, i was too young to be taking antidepressants (i'm 21), and i should find other ways to control my anxiety. i think it's really important that people (especially those in the medical field) are educated about these kinds of medications because i feel like there's still such a stigma surrounding it
I think that it all depends on the person. I was on 3 different kinds of anti-psychotics which didn't help and just made me put on a lot of weight and / or had bad side effects that made me have to come off of them. Then they realised that I don't suffer from psychosis but that they think I have borderline / emotionally unstable personality disorder. But then, it'll be different for different peoples conditions, symptoms and needs I suppose. :)
I don't see anything wrong with it! There are people in my life who would criticize me for taking an antidepressant but at the end of the day it saved my life. I don't mean that in a suicidal way but I was severely anxious and wasn't able to function. I tried a bunch of antidepressants before finding one the works for me. It takes time but is truly worth it!
The only reason we would put you on a 72 hour hold is if you have a plan & means to harm yourself or someone else... other than that there is no reason to place you on a 72 hour hold. There are a lot of tests and assessments that they can have you do, I am not familiar with the one you had to take, but they usually help us to see what it is your struggling with and how severe it feels for you. I hope that helps clear some of that up!! xoxo
All the medication did for me was make me feel worse and have constant thoughts of suicide. Since then, I've refused medication every time it was offered to me. For me, I'm better off without them.
i agree, there are moments one may absolutely need medication and i think it's great that you don't just hand it and send people away, which is sometimes a bit too easy to do (happens here in france), and to point out that you don't prescribe unless the patient fully understands what and why this medication can help.
On the other hand, I can say that there are some cases talk therapy is enough and it's important for patients to have the choice to refuse if they don't need that medication, it's all for individual cases
thank you for clarifying your methodologies :)
I agree.. there are times when talk therapy is enough, and others where medication is needed and very helpful :) xoxo
I didn’t believe in medication until last year , I had so much anxiety that I had to take meds and they saved my life . I took them for 3 months!
How did you feel after you stopped taking them? I’m on ssris now
I've heard that after 1 major depresive episode, you stay on meds for a year, 2 episodes = 3 years and 3 episodes is life on meds. What is you opinion on this? When you are depressed all the time, what counts as "major episode"? Thanks for your videos! They've been helping me for a couple of years now! Xx
From my knowledge, there isn't any minimum amount of time you have to be on medication in relation to how many depressive episodes you have had. It's different for each person and their need/severity. A major depressive episode is a much more severe version of what your depression usually feels like. it can differ a bit person to person.. when I have seen it in my clients it is either shown by a suicide attempt or their inability to get out of bed for many days. xoxo I hope that helps a bit!! xoxo
guindon2211 how does psychiatric drugs works dizzy
More OFTEN than not, Medications DO NOT WORK bc THEY DO NOT ADDRESS NOR RESOLVE THE REAL ISSUES THAT OFTEN TRIGGER THE BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS OF THE CONDITIONS. So if I find myself unemployed bc of the pandemic or so get abused, bullied, harassed, &/or mistreated which results in suffering, it REQUIRES MEDICATIONS? Sorry but the TRIGGERS THAT CAUSE MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS R ENVIRONMENTAL IMBALANCES IN NATURE!!!!! W/that said, 2 each his/her own.
Hey! I was just wondering, can any on tell me the difference between anxiety, GAD and social anxiety. Is GAD and anxiety the same thing? Thanks xx
why doesn't the medical community know about Benzodiazepine withdrawal
Could you do a video on how to distinguish between bipolar and BPD?
I definitely can!! It's already on my list :) xox
This was interesting, thank you both of you. 😊 My understanding/belief is that medication should be a last option. I see physical health the same way. If you can treat something without chemicals then do it! But I know not everything can be, at least not with the knowledge we have so far.
I went on medication about 2.5yrs ago. I didn't want to at all but therapy wasn't an option at the time (yay, NHS lol) and I couldn't control my symptoms anymore. I wasn't safe at all and so I agreed to go on them just to keep myself safe. They did that. They just numbed me out, made all of my symptoms less intense.. and at the time that's what I needed. Now that I've found a good therapist I'm tapering myself off of them, which was scary because I was dreading going back to how unstable I was then. But I'm now down to the lowest dosage and it's going okay so far! 😊
Yay! Thank you so much for sharing :) Medication can definitely help.. but talk therapy can be enough as well. It all depend on what we are struggling with and whats available to us. xoox
I've NEVER met a psychiatrist this knowledgeable or with even an ounce of personality😜
I've never met a real psychiatrist, but I've seen many doctors, and my counselor helps me with talking to my doctor that's about it.
+Kymberlie Belfield this guy seems awesome ☺
my doctor thinks my excessive fatigue is from depression. my psych and counsellor think its medical. Im taking 3 psych meds. I fell frustrated. Sometimes I think its the meds themself. Who knows.
I dont know why my psychiatrist didnt explain to me about the meds that i take. I dont know what will the meds do to me, so i feel quite confuse with myself and my condition. I dont know if the meds work on me or not. I'm totally clueless :/
A very important video! And I just want to express my graditute and appreciation for all these videos you put out, helping and educating people on this very important part of this world which is mental health
Awe thanks for taking the time to leave this sweet comment. I am so glad you are finding my videos helpful :) xoxo
This was really helpful! I had a bad psychiatrist experience briefly the 1 time I went in my adolescence and then again back in the fall when I had a brief hospitalization to try to stabilize my anxiety and self harm and have been wary ever since of psychiatrists (as the meds they gave me there were not helpful at all) but I might give it another try after seeing this (once I get insurance again). Thank you Kati and Dr.Lieberman!
This was a great video because I have seen myself how some doctors just prescribe meds without telling you the diagnoses and not suggesting any other treatment, e.g. analysis/talk therapy. I myself didn't want to discuss what had caused my depression (because I knew) but I never realised, until recently, that a therapist or psychiatrist could have helped me with coping strategies and similar things while I was getting better and discussing the adjustments to lifestyle and habits once I had started feeling 'normal' again. I could have felt better so much quicker!!
Thanks Kati. :)
Do you have a to be a center age to get medication. Also how can you make your parents believe you because my school counselor called so many times but she doesn't believe it. She says it's normal. :(
I wanna use medication because i'm sick of the sadness and happiest at random times. Also in bipolar can you get memory lost because I forget a lot and how can you tell the difference between PMS and PMDD or is it bipolar???
Sorry this is so long.

It all depends on the medication.. some medications are only indicated for adults (over 18) and many others are fine to be used much much younger. That's why it's important to talk with your doctor about it so you can get the help that you need and what works for you :) xoxo You can have loss of memory in bipolar disorder.. I have many clients who forget all that they did while manic (for example). I would talk to your doctor to see whether what you are experiencing is PMS, PMDD or part of your bipolar disorder. They are the best at figuring that out :) xoxo
***** Thank you Kati :) You're the best xoxo
My psychiatrist told me that if I take medication to help me sleep at night I will be fine and I can function and doesn't give people medication unless the person really needs it and I had bad days and she talked with me
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this :) xoxo
Barbara Errickson I have psychiatric appointment I have this foamy saliva spitting cup excessive stomach disorder I spit cup excessive
I’ve had Bipolar 1 with psychotic features for over 30 years. Medication has saved my life - without it I have no doubt I wouldn’t be here. I liked both the doc & interviewer... thoughtful presentation
Hey Kati. I have a question. So I had to talk to my school counselor because I dealt with a traumatic event at school. So when I went to talk to her about what happened she told me I could tell her anything and it would stay confidential but if I told her these 3 things (If someone is hurting me, if I'm hurting someone, or if I'm hurting myself) she would have to report it. So when I told her about my incident with one of my teachers she told me she would have to report it. So she told my mom and that teacher got fired. So say I was hurting myself which breaks the confidentiality code. Who would she tell? Who would she report it too? And what if my mom already knows? And how does the confidentiality code actually work? #KatiFAQ
She would tell your mom, and the three of you would come up with a safety plan.
+DyKoetah Thompson oh okay thank you. But will she tell the teachers or the principal??
No, she shouldn't.
She has to tell your mum in that scenario even though you might not want her too because they have to ensure your safety. Often schools work out a 'safety plan' in which your mum, the counsellor and a senior/pastoral care teachers work out a plan to basically make you stop hurting yourself. It doesn't feel like it but it really is in your best interests and they're only tryna keep you safe.
+Charlie Markham okay thank you so much
Has anybody noticed that bicep or is it just me?
Kati, I was wondering if you are a bipolar 1 patient do you have to be on medication forever? My psychiatrist has had me on medication for over seven years now and I feel like everytime that I started to take myself off of it I get much worse. does this mean that I have to stay on medication for the rest of my life such as tardive dyskinesia? What do you think Kati?
I think its really personal..everyone with bipolar 1 is different in what works to control their moods. Personally I think I'll be on meds for life and I don't feel like risking it after the last manic mixed episode lasted for months and months. Tardive dyskinesia scares me too..but there is no sign of it yet and it might never happen.
Hi Kati Good interview ! I am one of those people that said I do not want to stop taking my med because my quality of life has improved so much and I have went the route of a PTSD service dog witch I hate that he is labeled that way. He alerts for anxiety and depression and he dose very well in mitigating problems that come up. And I can't image life without him . Love the guest spots !
That is so amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and how helpful a service animal can be! xoxo
+Kati Morton I would not be here if it wasn't for my four footed monster 😎
thank you so much for these videos! if i am having a really low or anxious moment, i know i can come to your channel or website for helpful tips or kind words :) it has helped me get through those really tough days, and for that i am so thankful to you xxx
I do the same thing. It's So helpful!!!!
Awe that is so great to hear!! I am glad you are finding our community supportive and helpful :) xoxo
Thanks for the video! I had that same problem with going of my medication because I was feeling better. It was also because I didn't like the idea of being on it for life. It good to break the stigma though!
I've been on medication for an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, Social Anxiety, OCD. I very much find them a double edged sword. On the one hand they help with anxiety and depression and the OCD on the other I've had bad side effects such as excessive sleeping and drowsiness, I gained a lot of weight which then caused me to stop taking them as I have an ED and then I fell back again into depression and anxiety etc. So far I've tried Celexa, Fluoxetine, Sertraline and I'm now being trialed on Clomipramine which I don't think is working. So yeah, for me some things they help with but some they make worse.Perhaps I just haven't found the right one yet but my life is debilitated by all my mental illnesses.
Since you are not going to answer my comment, i would like to thank Dr. Lieberman and you Kati. I would also like to comment on your attractiveness, you are very pretty.
Hi Barry and Kati,
How do you guys deal with pharmaphobics? Or people who fear illegal drugs?
anxiety attacks are also things i deal with at night now i love when i have them i get more shit done
of course my eyesight is suffering that could be from the puppy sitting though but i really dont care
Hi Kati,
I have been dealing with anxiety since September of 2015 and I have decided to go the natural route with herbs and acupuncture, but I think I am having episodes of depersonalization. I have not yet been diagnosed, but can you maybe talk about what it is and how you can get help? I have not yet been to therapy but I do plan on going as it has been getting worse recently.
Hi Blanca! Kati has some videos on depersonalization and you might find them helpful- search 'Kati Morton dissociation' or depersonalization (or whatever topic best fits!:)))
Im going through the same thing, and i just started a very low dose of antipsychotics, and this actually helps a lot. Benzos and SSRI just makes it worse. Stay strong and find what works for you:)
oh my god, I wish the psychiatrist I saw was like this guy. he literally just threw pills at me and said he doesn't do anything else.
Hey, could you please do a video on recovering from anorexia with unsupportive parents
I have to take medication could not function otherwise
I was wondering with shopping spree do you go broke or you have a lot of nice new things?
this video was so informative Kati!! Much love xxx
I am so glad you liked it!! xoxo
very helpful! But yeah, they're going to let me off of medication...
My therapist may refer me to a psychiatrist to see if i need medication. But tbh i'm not sure if i want to.. I don't want medication to make me happy, i want to do it myself. Even though thats not working out so well.
Hi!I don't know your case, but I can tell you about my exp with medication!My therapist and my doctor agreeded that I need some help for my depression so I started taking meds and it doesn't work like you think (I guess). One of the ways I can describe my depression is like a constant noise fog or mist in my head and it doesn't let me see clearly what's around me, so whenever I have to do something it's like I'm paralised because if I don't see the path in front of me how am I even supposed to take that path or make my own?....And that's where the medications start to help: it's like they get rid of some of that annoying fog and let me see things more clearly. Obvs I'm the one who has to put in the effort if I want to do better, but now that I have that help many things start to get better which lets to me feeling better which lets to me being able to make a difference and now I'm in a more positive circle.
I hope this helps!
Heyy thank you for sharing your experience. I really understand what you mean and this definitely changed my opinion.
I wanted to do it myself too but the depressions kept on getting worse and worse till I couldn't work or have a normal day. I now realise its the medication that gives me a chance at being happy, something which my own brain chemistry rarely allows me to feel.
Hi Kati! where are you located. I would like to talk to you. norm
HEY KATI! I HAVE A QUESTION. Is it normal to get really depressed at night? When I am doing an activity that requires a lot of thinking such as homework or studying, my mind wonders into a state of depression with a hint of anxiety. I have not been officially diagnosed with a mental illness, but I am in the process of getting help.
The mentioned symptoms occur primarily at night aside from getting triggered during the day. I usually do not need a trigger when it happens at night.
Awesome video! Very informative.
P.s. One of my fiends suffers from chronic pain like myself, but for a different reason than me.
I am so glad you liked it!! I am glad you have a friend who can understand a bit of what you are going through. xoxo
#KatiFAQ I know you've made videos about suicide in the past, but I was wondering if grieving the suicide of a PARENT, in particular, ever gets easier? I feel like that's a different kind of grief. My mother committed suicide 10 years ago & I still find myself struggling to let her go, as this is the ultimate form of abandonment, in my opinion. This pain & fear of abandonment has leaked into every relationship I have had, and my relationships suffer as a direct result of my own paranoia. I am seeing a therapist, but I want to be able to reassure myself, without draining the people I love; is this possible? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any feedback, you'refantastic.💜💜💜💜
I know of a great blog about a young woman whose dad died by suicide and she is very honest about her own depression. It is called bluelightblue.com
K Golight thanks, will look into that
suicide is weird. I don't mean that offensively; it's just hard understand.
Kati, can you please speak on Bipolar type 2? Everyone talks about type 1 but there's so little info about type 2. Thanks.
Kati has a great video on both types of bipolar! Search 'Kati Morton bipolar' and you should be able to find it! Hope that helps a little ;))
th-cam.com/video/l9-4QFLft08/w-d-xo.html Here it is!!! xoxo
Thanks honey :) You are the best!! xox
they have to report everything in that category.
If you're bipolar, you get to be medicated for life. Especially if it's mixed with ptsd and generalized anxiety.
dude is from beverly hills
middle of the road babble.profitting on peoples ignorance do some genuine research. This women while possibly well intended is a dilettante. ANOTHER LIKE TRUMP WHO THINKS ANYONE WITHOUT EXPERTISE CAN step ON THE STAGE AND DO THE JOB
He should make videos too!
It's amazing how little she knows about meds being a therapist. It does not take 6 months for a fair trial. I understand you don't specialize in meds, but given how Many of your clients are on meds, you should know at least the basics.
a loved one of mine is on meds for depression and AAHD....I am worried that its addective and she wont be able to quit. She is completely dependent on them (no therapy) and she thinks she will loose it if she didnt take her pills. Therapy is too expensive at the moment and I dont know how to help without scaring her or causing her to shut down and get irresponsive....any advice?
Can you talk about medication side effects next?
Yes! I definitely can!! xox
I have a question - if someone has generalized anxiety disorder/chronic anxiety, would you put them on medication long term or short term? And why or why not? Let’s assume they are doing therapy in conjunction in this situation. Thanks!
I don't know if you have answered this question but I have a lot of trouble expressing my feeling or how I feel at times and I just have a fear of being judged all the time ... Plz can you answer my question but if you can't I understand, thanks.
This advice was really helpful. You hear so many bad things about antidepressants sometimes, it really scares people. But if you are taking it and going to a psychiatrist, you are fine. It is never a life sentence. Antidepressants can be good!!
#katifaq Is it normal to want revenge on an abuser and feel sympathy for them at the same time? I just barely (within the last 3 weeks) got out of an emotionally abusive friendship that lasted for about 3 1/2 years. I feel bad for my abusers (there were 2 of them), but at the same time I want to get revenge on them by destroying something they love, just like they destroyed my life. Is that normal?
Kati, I was wondering if you are a bipolar 1 patient do you have to be on medication forever? My psychiatrist has had me on medication for over seven years now and I feel like everytime that I started to take myself off of it I get much worse. does this mean that I have to stay on medication for the rest of my life such as tardive dyskinesia? she has me at a myriad of drugs. I question if she should up one of my medications and get rid of another one because there are so many drugs that I'm on I'm on about 5 to 7 medications not counting my physical illness disease, What do you think Kati???
I hate my medications I only take them as needed now. When I took it before I would have trouble taking it everyday because I got sick a lot. Now I take them once in a while.It helps, but Im scared to talk to my counselor about it when I see her, because she wanted me to take it everday. Plus my mother gets mad at me if I don't take them everyday. My last doctor said my depression has gotten better, and its just my anxiety really high.
I got put on medication and here I am, three years later, still on it... have changed it 3 times and upped myself from just seeing my primary care doc to having now seen two different psychiatrists. Lolololololololololololololololol.
Kati, I was wondering if you are a bipolar 1 patient do you have to be on medication forever? My psychiatrist has had me on medication for over seven years now. What do you think Kati?
please if you or any one reading this know any connections of a treatment team you would recommend in middle Tennessee, specifically nashville. Let me know..I am in process to better my mental health and seeking out the best I can find.
i have just been prescribed medication and the decision was based on the early onset and prolonged suffering with depression despite psychological approaches helping to manage symptoms often, this suggested a biological factor to my condition, really hope it helps Xx *hopeful hugs*
I have 2 things 1.) the audio and video aren't synced properly before your opening. 2.) The layers in your hair look fantastic.
hi katy. what are you views on mums who self harm? do you think its selfish and makes them a bad mum? do you think it's harmful to the child in some way even though they don't see it happening and don't know it's going on?
Ummmmmmm Borderline???!!!!
How do people with eating disorders who under eat not die from starvation like if they want to die from not eating thry could just run away and not eat couldn't they? Or do they not want to die?
I have this foamy saliva spitting cup when I eat drink spitting foamies should I go to psychiatric or gastrologist how many psychiatric appointment last
Hey Katie I was wondering if one personality disorder (lets say borderline personality disorder) can change into another personality disorder (lets say antisocial personality disorder or multiple personality disorder).
that is really important :D. Usually, doctors don't say anything about side effects or stuff like that
Katie. Can you please make video about antidepressants & and how to understand when it is time get off from madication?
It's funny because you're wearing the same shirt in this video as the last video you did with him.
I'm assuming you filmed both these videos on the same day? Haha
i have been severely depressed since i was 7 and i can say fuck meds its not needed at all for that
thx for this awesomely ha bisky vid
kati,
are you able to ask this person you are talking to
he seems well educated I want to know what he would recommend for people who have been abused by the mental health system?
can you be my doctor?
Hey Kati I was wondering if it is bad to have my therapist always agree with what I say and never really answer me the way I'd expected? I love your videos!
Barry's Backkkkkk! Yipee!!
yeah right? hes very cool
So glad you like him :) He's one of my favs xoxo
Yay! So glad you like him! He's one of my favs for sure :) xxoo
Good job!
Does anyone know if Kati has done a video on ARFID? it's new in the DSM so maybe not
Kati, thank you so much for your videos. You are a godsend in between my sessions.
isn't this an old video? i also know it is because she has longer hair in this
Btw will you ever come to the netherlands? I would reaaallyy love to meet you
I'm 17 and I have very severe depression, I was on Prozac from when I was 14 and now I'm supposed to be taking sertraline but I took it for over a year and it didn't help at all so now idk I guess I self medicate with alcohol and drugs but obviously I know that's not healthy. I just want something that actually works but it just feels pointless to keep taking medication because I feel like my illness will never improve and I'll just be one of those sad cases whose stuck with it for life...
There are so many options out there that can help!! I would encourage you to speak up to your doctor and see if they will try something else. xoxo
I wish we could have Dr. Lieberman here in Saskatoon :( I can tell from this video we should have many more psychiatrists like this wonderful human being.
And we need as many Kati Mortons here too :)
You have so many helpful videos, but this has to be one of the best i've come across.
Good video. I was prescribed Celexa (?) for depression. I got divorced about 4 and a half years ago and have been depressed since then. It's beginning to help.
It can take a month or more for some meds to kick in completely. I am so glad that you are seeing someone who can help and you are starting to feel better. xoxo
I appreciate the videos because I've been quite intimidated going to see a psychiatrist that my counselor recommended to me. I have always been wary of medication but I think I need to go back on ADHD medication and I think I need to get something for anxiety
I feel stupid asking this but should you feel different once taking your medication for a certain amount of time?!
This is a great question!! Every medication is different.. although many SSRIs (antidepressants) take 4-6 weeks to work.. some take even longer (8 weeks). Medications for anxiety can work within the hour.. while other medications can take 3-5 days.. so I would talk to your doctor about the particular medication you are on and when you should feel an effect. xoxo

I don't like it so much it make me more depress.more over his med that he giving me makes my situation gets more serious like self harm and over drama.my head, chest,back hurt like hell everyday and I have think to kill myself always. I can't tell my mom or dad because they always said I'm fine but actually I'm not.I didn't tell them i self harm and want to suicide because i feel after they know it they just shout at me and doesn't care about me.I don't know what to do seeing my arm have gaining more scars i feel so sad but when i cut myself the sadness and the pain are gone don't know why .self harm is my only treatment for myself to feel better.I can't find other way to do it to feel less pain from depression.Please help me i don't know what to do.i feel I am so hopeless..
I'm really sorry you are feeling this way, don't feel hopeless there is lots of good things coming your way in the future!! Kati has videos on unsupportive parents (not that your parents are unsupportive, but it may be hard to talk to them) and videos on how to choose the right doctor. You might want to go see a new doctor, or tell your current doctor the medication he is giving you is giving you really bad side effects. Be honest with him and ask him what you really are diagnosed with so you can attack the illness properly. Hope you are okay.
i have visited many doctors and councillors already, it still not helping haha.I can't help myself tho.but thx u for cheering me up
hey Kati! #katifaq How sick do you have to be to go into inpatient treatment? I've attempted suicide twice and now I don't feel safe to be alone. what's your advice?
If you are seeing a therapist I would def let him/her know. And if you are feeling suicidal then there are great hotlines you can call to talk things out- Kati has done awesome videos on what it is like to call and about inpatient as well. Search 'Kati Morton suicide' or 'Kati Morton inpatient' or 'Kati Morton what it is like to call a hotline'. Hope that help a little!!!
+K Golight thanks :)
I just want Xans.
Medication was such a blessing when I finally decided to start taking meds.
I'm on Mirtazapine (Remeron) 30mg. If anyone has a question about Mirtazapine, I'm open to share my own experiences and to answer questions due to it's effects / side effects and also anything else I know related to that.
I'm on mirtazipine too! But in conjunction with venlafaxine
Emily Young why do you have to take Venlafaxine too? :)
I'm on Remeron as well, for about three years now. It has helped tremendously! Especially with sleep. If anyone has insomnia or other sleep issues, ask your psychiatrist about it.
Thank you so much for offering up your experience honey!! You are the best :) xoxo
+Emily Young I'm on venlafaxine as well! the combo helps my anxiety and OCD.
What about type two bipolar or borderline personality disorder
What's everyone opinion on meds for bipolar 2
+Xochi Trujillo I am bipolar 2, and i use a combination of lamictal and a low dose of antipsychotics. It makes you stable mood-wise and it makes you actually happy, while also calmer and able to think logically. But notice i said a very low dose, not too high unless you want to be a zombie. Hope my advice helped. But talk to your doctor ofc :) have a good day ❤️😊
+Robin Monroe I'm now on lamictal. An Serqoul how long did it take for you too see results with the lamictal
Kati, what's your take on Robert Whitaker's books? Watching his talks made me realize that psychiatry is simply evil.
paulobroad Robert whitaker can go fuck himself
Psychiatry + Medication = DEADLY COMBO!!!!!
