My Experience Weaning off Antidepressants

I was told I was unfit for Ministry: because of my anxiety.

What We Can Learn From Lindsay Clancy: It Could Have Been Me.
On January 24, 2023 a young mother in Massachusetts was accused of strangling her three children. Most people find this story appalling because we assume that mothers fall hopelessly in love with their children immediately after birth. And even though that is often the case, there are women - about 0.1-0.2% of women - who … Continue reading What We Can Learn From Lindsay Clancy: It Could Have Been Me.
