Prednisone is an anti-inflammatory drug that reduces the body's immune response in order to manage and improve many health conditions. But the relief that can be achieved by using this popular medication can be overshadowed by side-effects that can range from insomnia, acne and nausea to more deadly reactions like depression, confusion and aggression. Tune in for a conversation with Elizabeth Barrett, the Reluctant Therapist, and her guest Jill Stegman, who's beloved husband of 40 years committed suicide after years of Prednisone use that altered his quality of life and personality. Your calls will be welcomed and encouraged.
Elizabeth Barrett is a wife, mother, licensed marriage-family therapist, educator, eavesdropper, emotion worker, and mental health consultant. She uses all of these skills to address the subjects that we all struggle with in this conversation with the Reluctant Therapist.
