Mental Health Daily Apple Clinic Adult Care, Primary Care, & Family Nurse Practitioners located in Congress Park, Denver, CO Sadly, many of us often don’t assign the same level of importance to a mental health checkup as we would a physical checkup.

According to MentalHealth.gov, mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. It is a complex part of your wellbeing that includes your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and social interactions. It may seem to have little to do with your physical health on the surface, but the two impact each other in significant ways. What are some signs that I need mental health care? Many mental health conditions can affect you at any age; some are short-lived, some are intermittent, and others are lifelong. Dr. Stephanie Pituc, a licensed psychologist at North Memorial Health, recommends seeking mental health support if you experience the following common signs and symptoms: Sleeping problems Spontaneous change in appetite Moods change often or not often enough Excessive fear Physical signs of stress Frayed relationships Easily irritated Changes in behavior Losing a sense of identity and purpose Trouble with resilience and bouncing back There are many other possible symptoms. Try to be mindful of your emotions, behaviors, and your overall function to help you notice changes as they occur. Daily Apple Clinic offers comprehensive mental health evaluations and can diagnose many of the most common mental illnesses. Please make an appointment for a consultation to see if we can help. What are some common mental health conditions? After making a diagnosis, Daily Apple Clinic works with you to manage your mental health condition.

Estilo de vida y medio ambiente Estilo de vida: mejorando Su estilo de vida describe sus ideas y acciones como se refleja en la forma en que pasa su tiempo. Enfatizamos el tiempo porque la vida se basa en el tiempo. Y, en ese momento, solo se mueve en una dirección, requiere que prioricemos continuamente nuestras elecciones mientras decidimos cómo interactuaremos con nuestro entorno y las personas dentro de nuestra esfera de influencia. Aunque tendemos a adormecernos felizmente con los segundos que pasan, la verdad es que cada momento es una bifurcación en el camino, una decisión que tomar. Cada elección se basa en la siguiente y, con el tiempo, se convierten en un hábito. El objetivo es que reconozcamos el poder de nuestras elecciones en cada posible coyuntura a medida que nos volvemos más saludables, felices, tranquilos, con más energía y más eficaces para compartirnos a nosotros mismos y nuestros mejores dones con los demás. El objetivo es desarrollar hábitos que mejoren nuestra vida. Según Freidman y Martin en The Longevity Project, las personas más longevas que estudiaron tenían las cualidades de una “persona prudente, persistente y bien organizada”. Llamaron a estas características "comportamientos concienzudos". Las personas que tenían estas cualidades tendían a tomar decisiones más saludables sobre el matrimonio y las relaciones, el trabajo y los comportamientos de salud, lo que también aumentaba la longevidad. Estas personas eran más reflexivas, proactivas, cuidadosas y consistentes. Pero, ¿cómo te conviertes en ese tipo de persona y qué puedes hacer para vivir más tiempo? ¿Y si alguien hubiera acumulado, organizado y sintetizado toda la mejor información sobre las mejores formas de vivir, y todo lo que tuvieras que hacer? ¿Qué fue aprenderlo, internalizarlo e implementarlo de una manera única? Medio ambiente: suelo rico Uno de nuestros autores favoritos, Dan Buettner, que escribió Blue Zones y The Blue Zones of Happiness merece todo el crédito por lo que creemos que es una de las mejores guías disponibles en esta área. En sus libros y en su sitio web , describe cómo descubrió cinco 'islas' de personas longevas en varios lugares del mundo y las lecciones que aprendió de ellas. Como escritor de National Geographic, la visión del mundo y las filosofías de Dan se basan firmemente en el concepto de "lugar". Propone que un medio ambiente saludable es la base para una vida saludable y que, en lugar de intentar cambiar los comportamientos en conjunto, podemos 'mover la aguja' más allá rediseñando las comunidades para que las opciones más saludables sean esencialmente inevitables. En DAC también estamos de acuerdo en que nuestros entornos deben optimizarse y que podemos hacerlo tanto de forma colectiva como individual. Coincidimos en que nuestro hogar es de lo más importancia. Nuestras clínicas están diseñadas intencionalmente como clínicas comunitarias. Apoyamos los jardines comunitarios, las caminatas semanales de limpieza en varios vecindarios, los senderos para caminar y andar en bicicleta y los espacios verdes siempre que sea posible. Alentamos a nuestros pacientes a que se reúnan en grupos para caminar, andar en bicicleta, nadar y correr por razones de salud social y física. Le pedimos que se levante temprano y dedique dos horas a la semana a disfrutar del entorno natural que lo rodea para sanar su cuerpo, refrescar su mente y conectarse con su yo espiritual. Dan y sus equipos de investigación de la Zona Azul pudieron extraer nueve características de la vida que las poblaciones longevas tienen en común. Descubrió que estos grupos: • Muévete naturalmente • Tener un sentido de propósito • Participar en rutinas de reducción del estrés • Deje de comer antes de que se llenen (regla del 80%) • Come principalmente plantas • Beba vino tinto con moderación con la familia, los amigos y la comida. • Pertenecer a una comunidad basada en la fe • Dar prioridad a la familia y los compañeros de vida • Tener redes sociales sólidas Esta lista nos brinda un excelente "anteproyecto" para describir un estilo de vida saludable que nos permitirá cometer menos errores según elijamos en el momento. Cuando elegimos vivir de una determinada manera y en un determinado entorno, tendremos mejores oportunidades de desarrollar esos hábitos saludables que sabemos que nos permitirán una vida mejor. Bastante simple. Recuerda: tu entorno es donde estás en cualquier momento. Son las personas con las que estás cerca (o no) todos los días. Debes optar por rodearte de alternativas saludables y voces saludables, para que seas plantado en un suelo rico que te permitirá crecer. Es absolutamente esencial que busques lugares, espacios y personas saludables y vivas para construir la mejor vida posible. Círculo completo: de vuelta a ti El crecimiento y el cambio siempre ocurren solo de una persona a la vez. Dado que cualquier individuo puede cambiar de opinión en cualquier momento, son los individuos quienes deben elegir respetarse unos a otros con intención y con buenas razones, y quienes luego velarán constantemente por los mejores intereses de la comunidad y el medio ambiente que comparten. Todo se reduce a cambiar el corazón de las personas. Y eso es en lo que nos enfocamos en DAC. Sabemos que no ayudaremos a todos. Solo tratamos de ayudar a los que podemos. Si nuestra voz se hace más grande, también lo hará nuestro impacto. Veremos cómo va, pero no pararemos de intentarlo. Nuestro objetivo en DAC es hacer el trabajo pesado por usted. Nuestro esfuerzo y enfoque es brindarle las ideas más veraces, útiles y efectivas para crear los mejores métodos para optimizar su vida y bienestar. ¿Por qué hacemos esto? Porque queremos que marques la diferencia en tu vida. Y parte de esa diferencia es ver que la vida nunca se trata solo de ti. En un universo de 13.5 mil millones de años y en un planeta donde hay alrededor de 8 mil millones de personas que han aparecido en el último 1/6 de segundo del año, ¿cómo puede esta existencia humana ubicarte en el centro? Debes mirar fuera de ti mismo para ver la razón por la que llegaste aquí. ¿Cómo y por qué llegaste a ser y qué vas a hacer con tu regalo de vida? Solo tomarás de esta vida las lecciones que aprendas y el amor que elijas. Permite que esta realidad te ayude a poner las cosas en perspectiva. Búscate a ti mismo para entender para qué fuiste hecho y para qué fuiste hecho. Descubre tus propósitos y permítete cumplirlos. Haremos todo lo posible para ayudarlo. Pero ... el tiempo corre.

Being tested is important. If you are sexually active, especially with multiple partners, you should be tested annually, even if you are not showing symptoms. STD testing is not a standard part of your annual physical, so please request testing if you have any concerns. Any discussion you have with your provider and any results from testing are always confidential.

The clinic will send samples to the lab and receive your results within a few days. They will notify you as soon as they are available. What treatments are available for STDs?

Men's Health Daily Apple Clinic Adult Care, Primary Care, & Family Nurse Practitioners located in Congress Park, Denver, CO Both men and women experience the same common diseases: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression and STI's. In this article, we will focus more specifically on one issue concerning sexual performance in men: erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Problems having or maintaining an erection can be a risk factor for heart disease and may also be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment. If you are experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED), please visit us at Daily Apple Clinic in Congress Park of Denver, Colorado. Paul Reynolds, FNP, Monica Schonteich, FNP, and their experienced team can offer medications and proven medical treatments to improve your sexual performance and overall health. Please call the clinic to learn more or book an appointment online today. Call Us: 720-593-8989 Men's Health Q & A What is erectile dysfunction? Erectile dysfunction, commonly known as ED or impotence, is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Having difficulty with an erection from time to time isn't always a cause for concern, but it often is a source of embarrassment. Treatment may include focusing on an underlying issue, or medications and more direct treatments may be more appropriate. What are the risk factors for ED? Male sexual arousal is a complex process involving interconnected body systems. Additionally, stress, anxiety and mental health concerns can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues cause erectile dysfunction. Some common causes and risk factors include: Older age Tobacco use Diabetes Heart disease Obesity Prostate surgery Radiation treatment Injuries Some medications Drug or alcohol use Stress Anxiety Depression In order to prevent erectile dysfunction, we recommend healthy lifestyle choices and managing any existing health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health issues. You should stop smoking, avoid alcohol and illegal drugs, exercise regularly, learn to reduce stress and find help for anxiety, depression and mental health concerns. How do I discuss erectile dysfunction with my doctor? Short answer: However you're most comfortable. Just ask any question you need to in order to clarify your understanding. When you discuss erectile dysfunction with your provider at Daily Apple Clinic, they will review your current symptoms, medical history and other specific sexual problems such as premature or delayed ejaculation. You will review your medical history for diabetes, heart disease and other conditions that may be linked to your erectile dysfunction. Your provider will conduct a thorough physical exam and may recommend blood tests, urine tests, ultrasounds, or other imaging procedures in order to gather additional important information. What are common ED treatments? The treatment for ED generally starts with taking care of your heart and vascular health. Common treatments available for erectile dysfunction include: Lifestyle changes: Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, including weight loss if you’re overweight and regular exercise, may help reduce ED symptoms without the need for further intervention. You may be asked to stop smoking and stop using drugs and alcohol. You will likely also discuss emotional issues such as relationship conflicts, depression and anxiety. Medications: Oral pills known as phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors are the most common. Brand names are Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. These medications increase penile blood flow and the rigidity of your erection. Hormone therapy: Low testosterone is a possible cause of erectile dysfunction. You may be tested several days apart in order to determine your levels of serum testosterone. If levels are low, your doctor may suggest injections, patches, or gels to boost testosterone in your body. Injections: Penile injections with a very fine needle, done by the patient at home, can stimulate blood flow and provide a reliable erection for 20 to 30 minutes. Self injection lessons will be given in the doctors office prior to doing it on your own. If you have hesitated to discuss erectile dysfunction with your provider up until now, please see a trusted and knowledgeable member of the Daily Apple Clinic healthcare team for assistance with this important issue.
