Depression
Depression is a widespread mental illness that causes intense feelings of sadness, hopelessness and personal emptiness. It can be brought on by stress, regret, trauma, loss or even a genetic predisposition to developing the disease.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's caused by an extremely stressful or terrifying event — either being part of it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are a pervasive and growing menace in today’s society, driven by conditions that are becoming more prevalent than ever thanks to social media and upbringing. These conditions cause those suffering from them to have difficulty seeing themselves clearly, and drive them to take on unhealthy and in some cases deadly habits to control their eating.
Bipolar & Mood Disorder
Bipolar Disorder is a mental illness that causes extreme mood swings between emotional highs (mania) and lows (depression). During manic episodes, individuals may feel unusually energetic, elated, or irritable, while depressive episodes bring intense sadness and hopelessness. These shifts can impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are mental health diseases that are often brought on by stress. The term ‘anxiety disorder’ encompasses a number of psychiatric disorders – all of which can cause mental trepidation, dissociative anxiety, and physical symptoms.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by a need to perform certain compulsions or rituals for no apparent reason. Although some of these behaviors are seemingly harmless, the compelling desire to perform some behaviors can endanger employment, family relationships, and quality of life.
Attention Deficit Disorder
Millions of children and adults across the country suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The conditions are collectively known as ADHD/ADD, and they cause patients to become easily distracted or unable to focus for long periods of time.
