Figuring It Out

Pt 1: My Medication Journey with my GP


Listen Later

Dr Alex George is joined by his own GP, Dr Naomi Hill, to candidly share his experience of antidepressants and making the decision to no longer take them in this very special episode. 

In part 1, Alex shares the story that spurred him to speak to his doctor, the frustrating stigma that stops people from seeking support and how to overcome the ‘not being bad enough’ mentality. 

Plus, Naomi helpfully explains the process of a patient coming to their GP, the details that go into deciding next steps and if they should have medication.
