Introduction

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many people hesitate when considering psychiatric medication. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or PTSD, you might wonder, “Do I need medication, or can I manage my symptoms without it?”

Dr. Rosemary Mensah can help individuals make informed choices about medication by assessing symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. Here’s what you need to know.

When Should You Consider Medication?

Medication may be helpful if you experience:
✔ Persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life (e.g., difficulty focusing, mood swings, chronic anxiety)
✔ Limited success with therapy alone
✔ Physical symptoms of mental health disorders (e.g., fatigue, insomnia, rapid heart rate due to anxiety)
✔ A history of severe mental health episodes

The Role of Medication in Mental Health Treatment

Medication isn’t a quick fix but a tool to help regulate brain chemistry, allowing you to better engage in therapy, self-care, and daily life.

✔ Antidepressants – Help balance brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine to ease depression and anxiety.
✔ Stimulants & Non-Stimulants for ADHD – Improve focus, attention, and impulse control.
✔ Mood Stabilizers – Help regulate emotional highs and lows in mood disorders.
✔ Anti-Anxiety Medications – Reduce excessive worry, panic attacks, and physical tension.
