Good evening - Welcome to our series of educational posts about mental health! Each Thursday you will find little tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help.
Tonight we will be looking at Bipolar I Disorder:

Bipolar I and II disorders are generally defined by mood swings and “episodes” that last longer than 4 days.

Bipolar I disorder causes extreme mood swings, experienced as manic episodes and depressive episodes. A manic episode generally involves very high energy, goal-directed activity, risky behaviors (excessive spending, gambling, sexual activity), racing thoughts, irritability/anger, high rates of speech. Sometimes, when a manic episode is extreme, this disorder can be associated with delusions and hallucinations. A depressive episode is similar to major depression.

Psychotherapy can be helpful here by assisting an individual with identifying these mood patterns, taking time to recognize their cycle and beginning to challenge negative thinking along with engaging in reality testing (help with understanding what is real vs not). Building a healthy, supportive relationship in therapy can help sustain an individual during difficult episodes. Medication management is also useful as directed by a doctor or psychiatrist.

If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, feel free to reach out to our group for support!

We will continue with our focus to mood disorders, tonight looking at Persistent Depressive Disorder:

Persistent Depressive Disorder is a type of low-level depression that is long-lasting. This with this condition will feel “down” for most of the time during at least a two year time span. It leaves us with a drained feeling, cloudy thinking and can be difficult to feel hopeful.

Psychotherapy can help by challenging negative thinking patterns, building healthier habits, addressing relationship issues and generally allowing an individual to sit in a supportive environment with someone they trust.

Tonight we will shift our focus to mood disorders, starting with Major Depressive Disorder:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a condition where a person feels deep sadness, can feel hopelessness and worthlessness, and loses interest in things the individual used to enjoy doing. Other symptoms include loss of or increase in appetite, loss of energy, trouble concentrating, and sleep issues.

Psychotherapy can help in a number of ways:
Having a safe, confidential space to talk about our problems
Learning how to improve our communication and relationships
Identifying our core values
Learning new ways to think and act that align with our core values
Mindfulness techniques

Good evening - Welcome to our series of educational posts about mental health! Each Thursday you will find little tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help.

We will continue with our look at anxiety disorders - tonight, specifically, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the presence of:
- Unwanted, repetitive thoughts (obsessions) like fear of contamination, excessive orderliness, thoughts of harm to self or others.
- And actions (compulsions) like checking, hoarding, cleaning or counting, often to ease anxiety or prevent bad things from happening.

Psychotherapy can help by focusing on recognizing and changing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Clinicians can help you build an exposure hierarchy that can help identify, rank and eventually eliminate compulsions. Stress management and calming techniques can also help here.

Good evening - Welcome to our series of educational posts about mental health! Each Thursday you will find little tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help.

We will continue with our look at anxiety disorders - tonight we will look at specific phobias.

Specific Phobias are an overwhelming and irrational fear of a specific situation (like snakes, flying, heights, etc). The fear is much greater than the actual risk.

Psychotherapy can help manage these issues through exposure therapy, identifying and changing the irrational thoughts about the particular object or situation and teaching you how to stay calm in the face of these fears.

Good evening - Welcome to our series of educational posts about mental health! Each Thursday you will find little tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help.

We will continue with our look at anxiety disorders - tonight, specifically, Social Anxiety Disorder.

Social Anxiety Disorder is an intense fear of being observed, judged or embarrassed in social situations. This fear is so intense that it will affect one’s ability to function in daily living.

Psychotherapy can help by focusing on challenging negative beliefs related to socializing and building social confidence. Gradual practice in social situations will help to reduce this fear. Communication, assertiveness training and mindfulness techniques may also help an individual to manage symptoms.

Good evening - Welcome to the beginning of a series of educational posts about mental health! Each Thursday you will find little tidbits of information about various mental health disorders and how therapy can help.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a consistent worry that is excessive in nature about everyday things, even in the absence of a reason to worry. Those with GAD generally experience restlessness, feel tense, exhausted, trouble concentrating and have poor sleep.
