Managing Mental Health with Psychiatric Drugs

I take many
A psychiatric medication
These drugs help my mind
And fill me with elation

I suffer from schizophrenia
And major depression
I also have an anxiety disorder
They represent mental oppression

These medications
Are psychoactive
They make it possible
For me to live

Each day, I take four
Psychiatric pills
They balance my neurotransmitters
And give me lots of thrills

Sadly, they have side effects
Such as insomnia and dry mouth
Still, I soldier on
Mentally speaking, I go forth

My symptoms are managed
I get help in many ways
I try to get enough sleep
It really pays
