You Don’t Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Start Medication

For many people silently struggling with anxiety, depression, or ADHD, there's an unspoken rule: You don’t get help until things completely fall apart.

You’re still going to work, showing up for your family, ticking off the basics—even if it feels like you’re running on fumes. Maybe you’ve thought:

• “I should be able to handle this.”

• “It’s not that bad.”

• “Other people have it worse.”

But functioning doesn’t mean flourishing. And holding it all together doesn’t mean you’re okay.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to get support.

Psychiatric medication is not just for those in severe distress or at rock bottom. In fact, many of the people I work with are high-functioning—on the outside. On the inside, they’re dealing with:

• Racing thoughts or persistent worry

• Constant exhaustion despite sleep

• Lack of motivation or interest in things they used to enjoy

• Difficulty focusing or completing tasks

• Overthinking or irritability that affects relationships

These symptoms can wear you down slowly. Medication can help ease the weight, quiet the noise, and give you the clarity and stability to get back to feeling like yourself.

What starting medication actually looks like

It's not drastic or rushed. It’s thoughtful and collaborative.

When you meet with me, we talk through:

• Your symptoms

• Your goals

• Any concerns or hesitations you have about medications

• Lifestyle, health history, and past treatment experiences

We start with the gentlest approach possible and check in regularly to adjust if needed. My goal isn’t to “change who you are”—it’s to support the version of you who’s been fighting hard to stay afloat
