Why it matters
Named here because it is common, it is treatable, and it is frequently missed. If this is on your list, the medicine is one piece and a therapist is another.

None of this is medical advice. It is educational material drawn from FAT BITCH: Killing the Willpower Myth by Cat Clark, and it does not replace your prescriber, your pharmacist, or your actual doctor. If something here does not match what your care team told you, go with your care team and bring this along to the conversation.
