Hello & Welcome to the Research Zone podcast, the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. Each week, we will talk to a different researcher to learn about their research project, discussing the why, what, where, when and how of their research, and most importantly, how this can benefit us as young people. 

Today I am joined by Sophie to chat about antidepressants in young people. We will cover: 

- Why antidepressants is an important topic to research 
- The research process 
- What young people felt was unknown about antidepressants 
- side effects 
- the importance of informed choices 
- what still needs to be found out about young peoples use of antidepressants
