Medication Stigma is Damaging For ALL Of Us

Sara Abbott, MSW, LCSW, LICSW

This episode explores the harmful impact of stigma surrounding psychotropic medication, how it prevents people from seeking necessary care, and why shifting the conversation is essential for mental health advocacy. As a society we HAVE to promote a more compassionate, informed approach to medication as a tool for healing—not a sign of weakness.
