Our Mental Health Programs Help Treat
Depression
It is not uncommon to experience negative feelings and emotions like; hopelessness, anger, and sadness when going through a rough patch in life. However, some individuals experience these feelings frequently without a necessary cause. Depression is a mood disorder that can make it challenging to go about daily life due to the physical and psychological symptoms it causes. It is essential to understand that depression doesn’t make you sick or weak, but you may need help to get better.
Insomnia
Insomnia is when an individual has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, making it the most common sleep disorder affecting adults in the United States. Many factors can be attributed to insomnia, including lifestyle, mental, and physical health. The condition can either be chronic, meaning it occurs for months, or acute, meaning it lasts only a short time.
Many individuals diagnosed with insomnia will seek help from a psychiatrist to alleviate their symptoms. Several causes of insomnia include :
- Anxiety and depression
- Stress
- Health conditions
- Sleep habits
- Work
ADHD/ADD
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), roughly 6.5 million adolescents in the United States have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), formerly referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Additionally, about 5% of adults in the United States have ADHD – and getting diagnosed as an adult is much harder, especially for women. ADHD is a neurological disorder that affects an individual’s ability to focus, plan, and execute tasks. Typically, symptoms present in childhood can include trouble controlling impulsive behaviors and paying attention.
Bipolar Disorder
Experiencing highs and lows is a common occurrence in many people’s lives; however, for those battling bipolar disorder, these highs and lows are often continual and uncontrollable. Highs, referred to as manic episodes, are when the feelings become unmanageable, which can lead to dangerous behavior, while lows are depressive episodes. To be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, an individual must have at least one manic or depressive episode. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V), a depressive episode should have at least four of the symptoms listed below, lasting for a minimum of two weeks
- Suicidal thoughts or plans/attempts
- Difficulty concentrating
- Problems with making decisions
- Shifts in sleep patterns
- Changes in weight or appetite
- Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Manic episodes should last for at least one week and include a minimum of three characteristics in the following criteria:
- Easily distracted
- Fighting with thoughts or ideas
- Speaking extremely quickly
- Engaging in high-risk activities
- Pacing and winging hands around
- Heightened self-esteem
- Little to no need for sleep
Although this criterion is often used to determine if an individual has bipolar disorder, always consult a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse is categorized as overusing alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs such as; crystal meth, cocaine, and heroin. Substance abuse can lead to addiction, although, if addressed quickly, it may be corrected through counseling. There are many reasons an individual may struggle with substance abuse, which is why addressing concerns is imperative to avoid the issue worsening.
Anxiety
Anxiety is expected sometimes, especially when presenting a project, performing in a competition, or playing a sport. For some people, though, anxiety occurs daily, even in low-stress situations. Contact a mental health professional today if you or a loved one may be experiencing anxiety.
