MOOD DISORDERS WE TREAT INCLUDE:
- Major depressive disorder –prolonged periods of sadness
- Bipolar disorder– alternating moods of depression and periods of intense energy, decreased need for sleep and risk-taking behavior (mania)
- Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)– form of depression usually associated with fewer daylight hours and occurring most often from late fall to early spring
- Cyclothymic disorder– mood swings less extreme than bipolar disorder but still cause high and low moods
- Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia)– chronic form of depression
- Depression related to medical illness– depression directly related to the physical effects of another medical condition
ANXIETY DISORDERS WE TREAT INCLUDE:
- Acute Stress Disorder – can develop after exposure to one or more traumatic events
- Agoraphobia– symptoms include avoiding places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed
- Anxiety disorder due to a medical condition– includes symptoms of intense anxiety or panic that are directly caused by a physical health problem
- Generalized anxiety disorder – persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about activities or events, including even ordinary, routine issues. Worry is out of proportion to the actual circumstance
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – is characterized by the presence of either obsessions or compulsions, but commonly both. An obsession is an unwanted intrusive thought, image or urge that repeatedly enters the person’s mind. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform
- Panic disorder – repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). The panic attacks may lead to worrying about them happening again or avoiding situations in which they’ve occurred
- Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) – involves high levels of anxiety, fear and avoidance of social situations due to feelings of embarrassment, self-consciousness and concern about being judged or viewed negatively by others
- Specific phobias – characterized by major anxiety when you’re exposed to a specific object or situation and a desire to avoid it. Phobias provoke panic attacks in some people
