I am old enough now to understand that mental health does not need to be an embarrassing issue. Mental health issues affect many more people than you probably realize. For me, I inherited half of my mother‘s manic depression, and she was a severe manic depressive. She was often hospitalized shock treatments in the whole works. I inherited a milder form of the depressive side and It started when I was in my mid 40s. After a series of different medicines and approaches, I landed on one that kept me stable, but I didn’t realize that it was also keeping me much more low-key than my actual personality. Due to a number of different circumstances, I really pushed to change medicines and that’s when I met Dr. Nicole Montgomery. What I found so refreshing was that she actually listened to my thoughts about what was happening and was willing to try some of my ideas that I had developed over time about what might be good. She came up with a plan and I am very happy with the results. I’m no longer held at a flat level. I experience way more joy and have way more fun and see life through much more positive lens. One of the phrases Jackie would use when I was on the other medicine was I wish your outside would match your inside. I would be happy, but I would also be flat. I am a much happier person now. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They are very discreet. And though I know that’s important to many people I am just not gonna be embarrassed about something. I have no control over. Mental health awareness is an important issue many people suffer without feeling able to address it. I hope if this helps one person to address whatever issue mentally they’re struggling with then I will be happy.
