Many people are surprised to learn that mental health care also covers conditions such as:
Autism
Autism is a developmental and neurological disorder, rather than a mental health disorder. But it causes difficulties with communication, learning, and behavior, areas that psychiatric care providers specialize in.
Dementia
Dementia is a collection of symptoms. It describes reduced abilities in the areas of thinking, retaining information, and decision-making. Many people with dementia experience difficulty with their emotions and may develop signs of anxiety, depression, and other new problems.
Insomnia
Insomnia refers to sleep disruptions. About 50% of people with insomnia have depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition, and complete treatment requires proper care of both symptoms and root problems.
Alcohol use disorder
Excessive alcohol consumption over time can affect physical and mental health equally, so when alcohol is an addiction, comprehensive health care is important.
What does mental health care include?
Lifespan Psychiatry & Wellness Center provides comprehensive mental health care, including:
Psychiatric evaluation
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation considers every aspect of your life, from your symptoms to your lifestyle, to diagnose your condition.
Medication management
Medication management treats mental health disorders through the latest pharmacological and scientific advances. Your provider prescribes the medication that’s right for your condition, customizes your dosage, and monitors your progress as you adjust to the new medication.
Supportive therapy
Many psychiatrists just provide medication, but Lifespan Psychiatry & Wellness Center believes in complete care. You’re a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms to be treated with pills, so you spend time talking with your provider and developing new skills and coping mechanisms. Supportive therapy addresses your mental health from all angles.
