    Take a pill and it will all be better. Unfortunately, some cultures have the message that medications will solve everything. While we don't believe that is true, medications can be helpful. They can also be very complicated. This episode we are discussing our experience with medications and psychiatry as both professionals and people who take medications themselves. We are not prescribing or making medical recommendations but hope this episode can be helpful in learning how to talk about what you need to your supports and to professionals.

    Diagnoses can be really confusing. There's depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, DID, and all the other things. Then there's acronyms like MDD, GAD, OCD, and the list goes on. It can be even more confusing when different people in your body have different diagnoses. We want to talk about what these diagnoses can actually look like and what some of the symptoms are. Our hope is that this will help you feel less alone in some of the symptoms you may be experiencing and help to make sense of the sometimes conflicting feelings that someone with DID can have.
