Conditions

Major Depressive Disorder

Read More

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), also known as clinical depression, is a common and serious mood disorder. It affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. People with MDD experience persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide. The exact cause of MDD is not fully understood but is believed to be a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving the quality of life for those with MDD.

Bipolar Disorder

Read More

Bipolar Disorder, previously known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When a person becomes depressed, they may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. During the manic phase, they may feel euphoric, full of energy, or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior, and the ability to think clearly. Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year, and they can be severe, causing disruptions in life and work.

The exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, but it’s believed to be a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain structure and chemistry.  Long-term management of bipolar disorder is often necessary to keep symptoms under control. Early diagnosis and treatment can help many people with bipolar disorder lead healthy and productive lives.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Read More

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about various things, beyond what might be considered normal day-to-day concerns. Individuals with GAD find it difficult to control their worry and may experience symptoms like restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. GAD often develops gradually and can begin at any point in the life cycle.

Panic Disorder

Read More

People with this disorder experience sudden and repeated episodes of intense fear or terror that peak within minutes (panic attacks). These attacks can be triggered by a specific situation or may occur unexpectedly. Symptoms during an attack include heart palpitations, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, a sense of impending doom, and feelings of loss of control. Panic disorder can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, often causing them to avoid situations where they fear a panic attack might occur.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Read More

Also known as social phobia, this disorder involves a significant amount of fear, embarrassment, and anxiety in social situations due to a heightened fear of being judged, negatively evaluated, or rejected in a social or performance situation. Symptoms can include avoiding social situations, physical symptoms like blushing or sweating, and extreme anxiety in anticipation of a feared activity.

Specific Phobias

Read More

These are intense, irrational fears of specific objects or situations, like heights, flying, or spiders. The level of fear is usually out of proportion to the actual danger posed and can lead to avoidance behaviors. The impact of specific phobias can range from mild inconvenience to severely disabling, depending on how easy it is to avoid the feared object or situation.

OCD

Read More

OCD is characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress. Common obsessions include fears of germs or contamination; compulsions might involve excessive cleaning or hand-washing.

PTSD

Read More

PTSD can develop following exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which severe physical harm occurred or was threatened. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. People with PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they are not in danger.

Dual Diagnosis

Read More

This term is used when a person experiences a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder simultaneously. Co-occurring disorders require integrated treatment plans that address both conditions as interconnected issues.

Substance Use Disorders (Opioids, Alcohol, Sedatives, Stimulants, Nicotine, Hallucinogens, Marijuana)

Read More

These disorders involve the misuse of substances like opioids, alcohol, sedatives, stimulants, nicotine, and hallucinogens. They can lead to significant impairment or distress, including health problems, disability, and failure to meet responsibilities at work, school, or home.

Eating Disorders

Read More

These include conditions like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Eating disorders are characterized by an unhealthy preoccupation with food, body weight, and shape, leading to dangerous eating behaviors. These disorders can significantly impact physical health and are often associated with other mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression.
