More than 15 million Americans a year suffer from depression, an illness that is on the increase worldwide. Depression is a complex disorder that can interfere with concentration, appetite, and sleep patterns; and more severe cases can seriously disrupt a patient’s life. From seasonal affective disorder to bipolar disorder and major depression, our expert clinicians offer a range of effective therapeutic interventions for depression, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and medication.
Experience makes a real difference. As well as being treated with respect, our patients can rely on being given the best care that each professional has to offer. Our psychology services are always tailored to meet your requirements. Do your negative emotions sometimes threaten to overwhelm you? You don’t have to allow depressing, negative thoughts to shape your life: the structure of your brain is constantly changing and your brain can be trained and molded to help you regulate and limit negative emotions. A carefully tailored program of mindfulness therapy can actually change its functional connectivity, replacing those negative images with positive thoughts of optimism and loving kindness.
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 healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Mental and physical health are equally important components of overall health. Mental illness, especially depression, increases the risk for many types of physical health problems, particularly long-lasting conditions like stroke, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Similarly, the presence of chronic conditions can increase the risk for mental illness.
Yes, it’s important to remember that a person’s mental health can change over time, depending on many factors. When the demands placed on a person exceed their resources and coping abilities, their mental health could be impacted. For example, if someone is working long hours, caring for an ill relative or experiencing economic hardship they may experience poor mental health.
