We’re hitting the point with our kids where some stuff I would normally want to talk about publicly, I’m not going to, because it would infringe on their privacy. It’s unfortunate, because it means there’s a cultural gap around talking about many things affecting teens — they’re not ready to talk about it themselves, and […]

Okay, y’all, so I’m going to talk about Lexapro, but I’m also going to talk about sex drive, so this may be too much information for some of you (such as say, my dad, or my aunties and uncles, or my students) — so I will kindly start with the non-sex parts, and will put
