Understanding Psychiatric Disorders

Psychiatric disorders are mental health conditions that affect your mood, thinking, and behavior. They can range from mild to severe and may interfere with your ability to function in daily life. Seeking counseling can provide you with the tools and support needed to cope with these challenges.

Common Symptoms and Disorders

We provide counseling services for a wide range of psychiatric disorders, including:

• Depressive Disorders: Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities.

• Anxiety Disorders: Excessive worry, fear, and panic attacks.

• Bipolar Disorder: Extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions).

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety following a traumatic event.

• ​​​​​​​Personality Disorders: Long-term patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions that deviate from cultural expectations.
