Mental Health Treatment Services

For the last century, the rate at which treatments and cures for both common and complex physical ailments have been astounding. From advanced cancer treatments to cures for what used to be devastating childhood illnesses, these advancements in modern medicine are a big part of what has increased the average life expectancy from just 38 years in 1900 to 78 in 2020.

What hasn’t received the same level of attention, however, are the mental health conditions that still plague our society—and are, in fact, actually getting worse year after year. Without appropriate treatment, mental health disorders can take an enormous toll on someone’s quality of life. At Mind Body Wellness, we know how important it is for you to get effective care for your symptoms. That is why our mental health facility offers a range of treatment options.

Understanding Mental Health Disorders

There is a reason why mental health conditions are considered a disorder. They are the result of irregularities inside your brain. These irregularities rarely correct themselves without proper treatment, whether with medications or a therapist’s help.

Secondly, mental health conditions can cause a range of disorders, including but limited to lethargy or a loss of motivation; changes in your sleeping patterns; extreme mood swings; delusions or hallucinations, and extreme fear or anxiety. These symptoms often interfere with a person’s personal relationships, and their performance at work or school, and can even make doing normal everyday tasks feel impossible.

Mental Health in Today’s Society

Mental health conditions are one of the biggest problems in today’s society because of how common they are and how difficult it is for many people to seek out necessary help. An estimated 20% percent of American adults experience a mental illness each year. However, less than half actually get the treatment they need. This means on average, the amount of time that passes between the onset of symptoms and when a person seeks treatment is 11 years. Therefore, even the people who do seek help spend years dealing with their symptoms on their own.

Types of Mental Health Disorders

There are over 200 different mental health diagnoses that are recognized today. Many of these are very rare, and just a few make up more than half of all diagnosed conditions today. At our mental health facility, some of the mental health disorders we most commonly see and treat include:

• Anxiety
• Bipolar Disorder
• Depression
• Dual Diagnosis
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

How are Mental Health Conditions Treated?

One aspect of our mental health facility that we are very proud of is the range of treatment options we offer our clients. Depending on your diagnosis, symptoms, and unique needs, we can tailor your treatment plan to ensure that you get the most effective relief from your symptoms possible.

Some of the options that we offer include:

Psychiatry

Psychiatrists specialize in treating mental health conditions with safe and effective medications. From antidepressants to mood stabilizers, there are many to choose from. Fortunately, if one medication doesn’t work for you or has too many side effects, your therapist can help you choose an alternative.

Counseling

Counseling is about more than just having someone to talk to. It also helps you to identify problematic behaviors and thought patterns that contribute to your symptoms. In addition, it’s beneficial to find healthy alternatives as well as positive coping mechanisms.

EMDR

Eye movement desensitization reprocessing, or EMDR, is a mental health treatment designed to help people who have experienced trauma. EMDR helps you process these negative memories in order to reduce the impact they have on your daily life.

When Should I Seek Treatment for Mental Health?

Every single person who is dealing with a mental health condition has a unique journey. This can make it difficult for them to realize when it is time to seek the help of an accredited mental health treatment facility. Despite the range of symptoms a person can experience, there are a few signs that can tell you it’s time to get help no matter what mental health disorder you are suffering from.

These include:

• Excessively worrying about things whether you can control them or not
• Dramatic changes in your sleeping or eating habits
