When dealing with my personal mental health diagnosis, I find medication to be very helpful. I have a variety of medications including a mood stabilizer, two anti-anxiety medications, and an anti-depressant. Sometimes people feel shame around taking medication or may have concerns but they are designed to alleviate symptoms and can be very helpful. I think the key is to find the right psychiatrist for you who listens to what you’re saying and takes some time coming up with the right medication combination for you. There is no shame in taking medication.
