Anorexia recovery // Medication for Anorexia & Mental Illness

Anorexia Recovery and taking medication for mental illness and anorexia.

This vlog is about my experiences of taking medication for anorexia and mental illness. I share why I didn’t want to take medication for a very long time – mainly because of anorexia. But now I have been taking medication to help my anorexia recovery for a long time and I wanted to do this vlog about it.

There is often a lot of stigma around taking medication for mental illness. People sometimes feel embarrassed and ashamed to take medication for mental illness. But it shouldn’t be this way. People are not embarrassed to take medication for physical illnesses like asthma or infections. So why around medication for mental illness?

To help with my anorexia recovery, I take anti-depressants. And until last year, I also took anti psychotics. It took years for me to be persuaded to take this medication. I thought that the medication would change my thoughts and that my thoughts would no longer be my thoughts. But I explain in this vlog why I decided to take them and how they have helped me.

I mention my blog in my video about medication which you can read here & please do comment & subscribe to my blog:
