Hi Bethany, sorry to hear you've been feeling so down recently! Sending you a big transatlantic hug!

This perspective has been challenged by a lot of people responding to my article on FB saying that ADs have massively helped them - even saved their life.

Mark responds to those kinds of stories in the article by saying it's most likely to be the placebo effect. I bet those people don't agree!

I don't want this article to be read as the definitive truth on ADs, but rather to encourage people to do more research and questioning before they decide to take them. Also if you're considering coming off them, to research how slowly to do it, because your Dr might not be giving you the most up to date advice and it might be a lot harder that you're told it will be.

One of the things that writing this article has got me thinking, though, is it's really hard to know who to trust!
