Sometimes you know something isn’t right, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is. Maybe you’re constantly overwhelmed, struggling to focus, dealing with mood changes, or feeling like you’re doing everything you can just to get through the day. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of GYDED Mental Health. I work with people who are ready to understand what’s going on with their mental health and explore treatment options. During our first appointment, we’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, how long it’s been happening, and how it’s affecting your everyday life. I want to hear the full picture, not just a list of symptoms. If medication is something we decide to explore, we’ll talk through the options, what to expect, and any concerns you may have. I believe you should understand your treatment and have a voice in the decisions being made. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. That’s what we’re here to work through together.
