>>>>Now, on to TODAY'S EPISODE 8, Part 2, "Managing Meds, Symptoms, and My Marbles: How Not to Lose Your Mind in the Daily Grind!
This will be an in-depth discussion about psychotropic medications, the need for them, how they affect the brain and aging body, as well as dual neuro trauma. Renowned Forensic Psychiatrist and behavioral impairment educator, Dr. Tracey Marks, MD, will also cover medication side effects and why meds with harmful side effects are prescribed in the first place.
She'll tell us all about the pre-frontal cortex of the brain in great deal and how it is affected by mental illness. She will address the "illness means incapable" myth, what others see in certain behaviors vs. what's really going on internally, and uber specific differences between child and adult ADHD.
