That's what drives me Thank you so much, Howard.
Welcome to the Mad in America podcast.
My name is Brooke Seem, and I am the author of the award-winning memoir on antidepressant withdrawal, May Cause Side Effects.
Today, our podcast is going to be a little different.
I am here with Chelsea McVeigh, who I actually met many years ago now, because she was uh in antidepressant withdrawal while going through a pregnancy, and she was one of the first people I worked with one-on-one.
And I decided that I wanted to check back in and follow up and see how she's doing because she has
been part of
my understanding of how this affects people in such a big way.
So we will be talking to her about her recovery.
And a little bit about Chelsea.
She began her journey with psychiatric medications at 16, never imagining where it would lead.
At thirty one, during a new pregnancy, she suffered a severe adverse reaction that turned her world upside down.
After years of fighting to reclaim her health and sense of self, she's now thirty-seven, a mother of two incredible boys and living proof that healing is possible even after the unimaginable.
Chelsea, thank you so much for taking a little time out of your day to share your story.
Yeah, thank you for having me.
You're welcome.
It is such an interesting experience for me to see your face because I remember the last one of the last times we spoke because we were doing FaceTime as you were in withdrawal.
And I would just notice almost like a um
A wave would come through and you had a really interesting, uh, very quick, at least in my experience with you, up and down.
Like we could be talking and you could be fine, and then you'd get hit with a wave in the middle of a sentence and I would watch your eyes change and we were navigating that back and forth.
