Depression
Depression is extreme sadness or despair that is present most days and lasts longer than two weeks. It interferes with the activities of daily life and can cause physical symptoms such as pain, weight loss or gain, sleeping pattern disruptions, or lack of energy. People with depression may also experience an inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
Depression is the most common mental disorder. A combination of therapy and antidepressant medication can help ensure recovery.
ADHD
A chronic condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. People with ADHD experience an ongoing pattern of the following types of symptoms:
Diagnosis of ADHD in adults can be challenging because certain ADHD symptoms have similarities to those caused by other conditions, such as anxiety or mood disorders. And many adults with ADHD also have at least one other mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety.
Anxiety
Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with generalized anxiety disorder worry extremely or more frequently about these and many other things, even when there is no reason to worry. Usually, this disorder involves a persistent feeling of anxiety or dread that interferes with the way you live your life. It is not the same as worrying occasionally about things or feeling anxious due to stressful life events. People who have this disorder frequently feel anxious for months and even years.
Mood Disorders
Mood disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by significant changes in a person's mood, energy, and behavior. There are several types of mood disorders, including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and persistent depressive disorder.
Major depressive disorder is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities that a person used to enjoy. Symptoms may include changes in appetite and sleep patterns, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of suicide.
Bipolar disorder is a condition that causes extreme mood swings that alternate between periods of high energy and euphoria (known as mania or hypomania) and periods of depression. Symptoms may include racing thoughts, impulsivity, grandiosity, increased risk-taking behavior, and decreased need for sleep during manic episodes, and feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities during depressive episodes.
Sleep Disorders
Insomnia is a difficulty in initiating and maintaining sleep, or the feeling of not having had a restful sleep. It is a problem of decreasing the amount and quality of sleep. This sleep disorder occurs in a third of the population, or 30%, and is more frequent in the elderly, women, and people with psychiatric illnesses. Most cases of insomnia have an acute onset, coinciding with stressful situations, and tend to become chronic in 60% of cases
General Psychiatry
General psychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses and disorders. Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Mental Health providers such as Advance Practice Nurse Practitioners are medical providers who specialize in the treatment of mental health disorders. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders.
Psychiatrists use a variety of treatment modalities to help their patients, including medications, psychotherapy, and other forms of therapy. They may also work with other healthcare professionals, such as psychologists, social workers, and occupational therapists, to provide comprehensive care to their patients.
Some of the common mental health conditions that are treated by psychiatrists include depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, and substance use disorders. Psychiatrists also play an important role in the management of suicidal, homicidal, and other high-risk patients.
