Confused by Medications?

Within mental health treatments many people are given a combination of Both Therapy and Medication. Being prescribed medication can often feel scary and overwhelming, especially when you don’t have any knowledge of possible side effects or its form. For this reason MIND have helpfully collected an A-Z list of all psychiatric drugs available in the UK to answer all the questions.

The site has an A-Z list of both the drugs trade names and its generic name, and a specification of its type, i.e. Anti-psychotic, anti-depressants. Videos have been posted with people’s first-hand knowledge and experiences. The page aims to answer any questions you may have with headings such as:

'Being prescribes and taking anti-psychotics'

'Side Effects and coming off'

'The different types of antipsychotics'

Each specification of possible medications provides information on form, dosage, possible side effects and possible cautions.
