About this episode

Danielle Gansky shares her experience with antidepressants from a young age and advocates for informed consent and safer practices.

Millions of people take antidepressants every day. Far fewer are told what can happen when they try to stop. Danielle was first prescribed antidepressants at seven years old. Now, she's 30 and still on them. After what she describes as severe neurological injuries from decades of SSRI use, she's become one of the leading voices calling for informed consent, safer tapering protocols, and recognition for the millions of people who believe these drugs have harmed them. 💊 Antidepressant Coalition for Education Thank you to our sponsors!
