MYM – Managing Long-Term Medication

Some with mental illness may need medication for a long time. If the medication has adverse side effects, how do you trade that off against the benefits? How do you know how much of a difference the medication is making? When should you experiment with withdrawing from medication? If you have any questions or comments, email Ian and James at [email protected] . Let them know any other topics you’d like them to cover.
