Summary
Hey everyone! Back with another question and answer episode after a nice little holiday. I am slightly scatter brained this episode because people kept ringing the door and interrupting me. Grrrrrrr! This episode has some great questions though, so I hope you find some useful bits of information here. This is what I cover:
- What should I expect from medication for depression?
- How can I address my anxiety about money?
- How can I motivate my depressed spouse to clean the house?
