Scenario

When mental health treatment changes your emotional connection to your children

I started taking antidepressants and now I feel more stable but also more emotionally distant from my kids and I do not know if that is better or worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Medication that stabilizes mood can create new questions about authentic emotional presence and relational intimacy.
