Society of Grownups

How Do I Befriend My Meds?


Listen Later

Here at Society of Grownups, we care about mental health. So your hosts are chatting about the medical side of it with today’s guest. Dr. Gaddi owns his own LGBTQ+ focused practice in Chicago and is dropping his knowledge in this week’s episode! He chats with Cathy and Genevieve about mental illness misconceptions, how to know if your medication isn’t working for you, and the musical Next to Normal (your hosts are theatre geeks after all). He also explains in depth the process of getting diagnosed and put on medication. Catch Part 2 next week!
