OUR EXPERTS ELEANOR MORGAN AND ANJULA MUTANDA ANSWER YOUR MENTAL HEALTH QUESTIONS

School Of Thought

Q I’ve been experiencing an episode of depression for a few months.

I started taking antidepressants as well as seeing a therapist. A few friends have strong opinions on antidepressants and I’ve been made to feel bad – or misguided – for taking them. I know they don’t mean to offend me, but the medication seems to be helping and I want them to try and see things from my perspective. Advice?

ELEANOR SAYS:

Before even starting to reflect on this predicament of yours, I want to say that being proactive about your mental health in the way you have been – going to your GP, trying medication and seeing a therapist – is excellent. It would be patronising to say ‘well done’, but you shouldn’t lose sight of that strength and honesty as you move forwards.
