Are Supplements Safe If You’re On Psychiatric Meds?

As mental health issues like depression and anxiety rise, more people may be on short- or long-term prescriptions of medications for these conditions. At the same time, people are also more likely to be consuming a plethora of other medications and supplements for a variety of medical concerns or just for general well-being. Bharati Suresh Chand, a pharmacist, helps us to understand how the ingredients of certain medications and supplements can impact mental health or interact with psychiatric medications.
