Mental health medication (June)

• Friday 9th June (1 session)
• 10 - 12:30pm
• Online via zoom

 

Using medication can be a short-term strategy or a long-term life decision. How medication works, what types of medication is available, and the potential side effects may all be questions that you don’t always feel comfortable to ask.

Whether you’re taking medication, planning to take medication, thinking about stopping or simply would like to find out more about how medication works. Understanding more about medicine and knowing some of the terminology can help support more informed choices.

We will also look at how other non-metal health medication can affect mental health medicines and what to consider if you want to stop taking or change to a different medicine.

 

In this online workshop, we will:

• Look at how medication works in our bodies
• Discuss how anti-depressants, mood stabilisers, and anti-psychotic medication work
• Talk about strategies for managing the side effects of medication
• Consider what questions to ask and where to go for more advice
