Up until a few years ago, I hadn’t heard of the term high-functioning anxiety. To me, anxiety was something that got in the way of functioning. It made decisions more difficult and tasks harder to complete. The idea of a high-functioning version of mental health challenges is new to me, so I decided to do some research. Today on the blog, I want to break down high-functioning anxiety, what it looks like and how we can manage it.

Have you heard of a medical test for the selection of antidepressants ? It's billed as a simple blood test or cheek swab that can indicate what antidepressant you should or should not take. This is advertised as "personalized medicine" or "precision medicine." And to anyone who has been on the (un)merry-go-round of antidepressant trials, it sure sounds like a great idea.
