On today's show, I interview Ruth Karthak, my doctor (she's really a physician's assistant but that's too much to say :) ) on her professional experiences treating myself and others when it comes to anxiety, depression, and the use of medication. This is a good one friends! Enjoy!
 
QUOTES:
"There is a misconception that meds mask or cover something up." 
"Sadness is not a bad emotion."
"Where am I depending on myself too much?"
"We need to know our limitations because they are given to us by God to protect us against burn-out."
