âI hit rock bottom a couple years ago,â said Michelle, a patient. âI was on the edge of suicide.â
Michelle was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety.
âI was always stuck,â she said. âI just had the blues, the blahs, I couldnât get out of bed. I couldnât be positive, I couldnât be motivated. Zoloft, Wellbutrin, you name it, Iâve been on it.â
