Understanding Mental Health Conditions
Mental health conditions influence how you feel, think, and behave, impacting daily life. Understanding these conditions helps you manage them effectively and improve your well-being.
What Is Mental Health?
Mental health involves your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Good mental health helps you handle stress, connect with people, and make healthy choices. Mental illnesses, like mood disorders, are medical conditions that affect these aspects of your life. They are just as important to treat as any physical illness.
Some mental health issues last only a short time, while others can be lifelong. Symptoms can vary widely, too, sometimes lasting briefly or for extended periods. Factors like genetics, life experiences, and environment can influence this. Behavioral health focuses on your daily habits and behaviors; it often overlaps with mental health.
Diagnosing Psychological Disorders
To diagnose mental disorders, professionals use a guide called the DSM-5. This manual lists specific criteria that describe each mental illness. During a psychiatric evaluation, you’ll talk with a professional about your feelings, behaviors, and experiences. Sometimes, they may also use mental health tests to help understand and diagnose your condition.
Treating Mental Health Conditions
Mental health conditions are usually treated with counseling, therapy, medication, or a combination of these methods. At Drift, we provide treatments that match your unique needs. We offer various therapies across several levels of care, including CBT, DBT, and individual or group counseling sessions. You can receive care in person or conveniently through online sessions at home. Our goal is to help you manage symptoms, feel better, and improve your quality of life.
