Shrink Wrapped

Mental health medication has somehow become more controversial than the fact we’re all expected to answer emails, drink enough water, heal our inner child, and function like stable adults at the same time. In this episode of Shrink Wrapped, we’re unpacking the stigma around antidepressants, anxiety meds, ADHD medication, and psychiatric treatment in general — including media myths, “just try yoga” culture, medication shame, and why suffering has become weirdly romanticized online. We’re talking about what meds actually do, what they don’t do, and why taking care of your brain shouldn’t feel like a moral failure. Because sometimes self-care looks less like a bubble bath and more like letting your neurotransmitters clock in for once.Join us on the O'Neil Counseling app here: ⁠https://www.oneilcounseling.com/app-landing-page
