To anyone who takes an antidepressant medication:
Be aware of how the heat and sun can affect you.
When heat waves strike, the first things they affect are temperature regulation and sweating. Antidepressants already increase sensitivity to these, so it’s a double whammy in hot summers.
Sunburn risk increases as well, and the side effects of some antidepressants mirror those of heat exhaustion, such as dehydration, dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue. Be safe!
