WHAT WE COVER
WE CAN HELP WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS
MENTAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT
We specialise in assessing, treating and monitoring mental health disorders such as low mood, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive symptoms (OCS), post traumatic disorder (PTSD), addictions, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. We will guide you through the challenges these conditions can present and offer advice and treatment.
NEUROTIC AND STRESS-RELATED DISORDERS
Neurotic and stress-related disorders encompass a range of mental health conditions characterised by excessive anxiety, stress, and emotional distress. These disorders include generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Individuals with these conditions often experience persistent worry, fear, or compulsions that significantly interfere with their daily life and functioning. Symptoms can manifest physically as well, such as through panic attacks or insomnia. Typically, these disorders are linked to how an individual copes with stress or traumatic experiences.
SOMATISATION DISORDER
Somatisation disorder, or somatic symptom disorder (SSD), is a mental health condition where individuals experience chronic physical symptoms, such as pain or fatigue, that cause significant distress and disrupt daily functioning. These symptoms, lasting usually over six months, are genuine and may change over time.
HANDLING ACUTE STRESS REACTIONS
Acute stress reactions in the context of mental health are immediate responses to overwhelming or traumatic events. These reactions manifest as intense emotional and physical symptoms like anxiety, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating. They are often short-term, subsiding as the individual starts to process the traumatic experience. Handling these reactions effectively is crucial for mental well-being.
PERSONALITY AND BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS
Personality and behavioural disorders are mental health issues where people have certain patterns of thinking and behaving that can cause problems in their lives. This includes conditions like borderline personality disorder, where people might struggle with managing their emotions or relationships. These disorders can make it hard for someone to get along with others or cope with everyday life. Treatment usually involves therapy, which helps them understand and change their behaviours, and sometimes medication to help with things like mood swings. The goal is to help them lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
CHRONIC MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
Chronic mental health conditions are long-lasting mental health problems like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or long-term anxiety. These conditions can affect how a person thinks, feels, and acts over time. People with these issues might have good days and tough days. Treatment usually includes a mix of medication, talking therapies, making some changes in lifestyle, and having a strong support network. The goal is to help them handle their symptoms better, make day-to-day life easier, and keep them feeling well in the long run. It’s also really important for these individuals to get ongoing support and care to manage their mental health effectively.
