If your antidepressants stopped working, the first thing I check isn’t the medication — it’s your sleep. Because if your sleep is broken, the medication is fighting a losing battle. Sleep deprivation lowers emotional regulation, amplifies anxiety, worsens ADHD, mimics depression, and changes how medication works in your body. This is why I won’t just adjust the dose and call it a day. Ohio patients — link in bio.

Things I wish every patient knew before starting psychiatric medication — but most prescribers don’t have time to explain. The first medication isn’t usually the final one. You may feel worse before you feel better. Side effects often fade. You’ll wonder if it’s changing who you are. And medication works best when it’s not the only thing you’re doing. If your prescriber didn’t tell you any of this, you deserve better care. Ohio patients — link in bio.

Why are so many adults finding out they have OCD in their 30s and 40s — after a lifetime of being told it was just anxiety? It’s not a coincidence. For decades, OCD was portrayed as hand-washing and checking, so the mental kind — intrusive thoughts, rumination, mental rituals — went unrecognized. Many of you developed perfectionism and over-preparation as coping strategies, and they worked until life got harder. The good news: adult-onset treatment works. ERP therapy + the right medication strategy can change your life. If you’re in Ohio, link in bio.
