Your 5‑Minute Med Checkup: What Your Answers May Mean

Thanks for taking a moment to be honest about how you’re doing. This page is for education only. It can’t diagnose you or tell you to start, stop, or change any medication.

If you are in crisis or feel unsafe, please call 988 or go to the nearest ER.

Where you might fit…

Most people who complete this checkup fall into one of these patterns. See which sounds most like you:

1. “Doing okay, but not quite yourself.”

Your symptoms bother you sometimes, but you’re mostly getting through the day. You might benefit from fine‑tuning meds, side effects, sleep, or routines.

2. “Still really struggling.”

Your mood, anxiety, focus, or sleep are often getting in the way of work or relationships. That usually means your current plan isn’t a great match yet, not that you’ve “failed.” Lots of people in this spot benefit from a more thorough medication review and sometimes adding therapy.

3. “Feeling overwhelmed or stuck.”

Your symptoms and/or side effects feel severe, and most days are a grind. That’s usually a big signal to get professional support and not try to white‑knuckle it alone.
