*Federal and state laws limit ADHD prescription options. I cannot prescribe amphetamines or methylphenidates via telehealth (e.g. Adderall, Ritalin). Same for benzodiazepines (e.g. Ativan, Xanax).
Creatives have 30 times the rate of mental health complications than others.
Among professional artists, 43% endorse bipolar spectrum symptoms.
History is full of creative people who struggled with finding a balance between the gifts and distress from their mental health condition.
Altitude Zen is a whole-person approach with an emphasis on creatives.
Modern psychiatric approaches are frequently only about medication management, and may rely on medications known to cause severe weight gain while significantly “numbing” personality and creativity.
Let’s work together to find a better balance.
