Take your meds!- a witchy perspective.
As someone who has seen both sides of the tracks when it comes to mental and physical health, I repeatedly come across these sorts of questions in the many witchcraft or spiritually related groups on social media. People always want to know an herbal remedy or spell that will fix what ails them. While the thought behind it is admirable, I also have a huge problem with this sort of mindset. Magick is supposed to be a tool for manipulating energy to bring about change. Generally the goal for this change is positive, though I won't speak for everyone. Herbal magick and remedies are slow magick, sometimes making the problem worse before it gets better, and is meant to go along with a supported life style of self care and applied herbalism. Its a goal that's beautiful, but not always feasible. Sometimes, you need something quicker. Sometimes you need something to help get you to a place of balance where you can be receptive to the kinds of magickal workings that are helpful...
