Mental health is a complex part of your wellbeing that includes your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and social interactions. It has little to do with your physical health on the surface, but the two impact each other in numerous ways.
Many mental health conditions can affect you at any age; some are short-lived, some are intermittent, and others are lifelong. They vary in their symptoms, but generally, you should consider seeking mental health care if you experience ongoing or debilitating:
There are many other possible symptoms; it’s a good idea to stay in tune with your emotions, behaviors, and general function so you notice any changes right away. Daily Apple Clinic offers comprehensive mental health evaluations and can diagnose many of the most common mental illnesses.
Daily Apple Clinic works with you to manage your mental health condition after making a diagnosis. A few of the conditions they specialize in managing are:
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that often appears in childhood and can manifest differently in adulthood.
There are two categories of ADHD symptoms: hyperactive and inattentive. Hyperactive symptoms include trouble sitting still, talking or interrupting, and inattentive symptoms, including problems with organization and daydreaming.
Depression, or major depressive disorder, is a common yet serious mental illness. It causes an ongoing low mood, low energy, loss of interest in your usual passions, feelings of worthlessness, and often thoughts of suicide.
Anxiety disorders go beyond the scope of day-to-day worries. If you have an anxiety disorder, your worries and fears seem to control all your decisions and behaviors. These can cause a variety of symptoms and complications, including irritability, muscle tension, fatigue, restlessness, and poor sleep.
Managing your mental health isn’t an easy task on your own; however, professional help from Daily Apple Clinic can get you back to feeling like yourself and functioning at your total capacity again. Usually, treatment for mental health conditions involves a tailored combination of:
Making changes to your routine, or building a more consistent pattern in the first place, can have a significant positive impact on your mental wellbeing. Your provider might suggest dietary changes, educational aids, or stress relief strategies, among other recommendations.
Psychological counseling can help you learn to recognize and change your patterns in thinking.
There are medications available for many mental health conditions, including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, antipsychotics, and stimulants for ADHD management.
