New to Medication for Mental Health

Beginning medication for mental health can bring up a mix of feelings, curiosity, uncertainty, hope, fear, or hesitation. Whether you’re considering psychotropic medications for the first time or revisiting an old conversation, this is a space where questions are welcome and your agency is central.


At Modern Holistic Psychiatry, we don’t rush decisions. We explore them together. You’ll be fully informed about your options, from the potential benefits to side effects, timing, and what to expect. This isn’t about following a one-size-fits-all path—it’s about co-creating a plan that feels right for you, grounded in both clinical knowledge and your lived experience.

Starting Medication Thoughtfully, With You at the Centre

Some people arrive certain that they want to try medication. Others are unsure, or have had past experiences that left them cautious. All of that belongs here. Our approach to mental health prescriptions is collaborative and sensitive to your story.


If we do move forward with psychiatric medications, we’ll do so gently, starting low, adjusting slowly, and checking in often. You’ll have space to ask questions, to change your mind, to pause, or to proceed. This process is never about handing over control. It’s about offering grounded, responsive support, so that any choice you make is one you can feel confident in.
