MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS CLINIC
Psychological wellbeing is a big part of overall health. That’s because your mind and body are interwoven; how you think affects how you feel and how you feel can affect your thinking. Seeking mental health support can positively impact your wellbeing, help you reach your potential and allow you to lead a more fulfilling life.
Here’s how our mental health and wellness clinics work.
WE TREAT DIFFERENT MENTAL HEALTHCARE CONDITIONS
At MD Connected, we understand that your mental health is as important as your physical health. Our licensed physicians also know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health and psychological wellbeing. Our mental health professionals possess a wide spectrum of clinical experience and training that allows them to tailor treatment to meet your individual needs.
Some of the conditions that our mental health physicians can diagnose and treat include:
1. Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, hard to stay asleep, and difficult to fall back to sleep. A lack of sleep caused by insomnia can drain you of energy, sap your mood level, undermine your health, impede your work performance, and lower your quality of life.
2. Panic Disorders
Those who suffer from panic disorders experience unexpected, recurring panic attacks. They start quickly and can last for up to 10 minutes until the symptoms start to settle, but it can take longer for all of the symptoms to subside. MD Connected’s mental health physicians can provide those struggling with panic disorders with strategies and tools to manage anxiety.
3. Acute Adjustment Disorders
Acute Adjustment Disorders are long-term stress-related conditions that can be caused by work problems, an illness, the death of someone close, or other life-changing issues. If someone is struggling with emotionally adjusting to these situations, it can cause issues with relationships, work, and school.
4. OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety that drives individuals to do things repetitively to relieve stress and feel better. It’s difficult to ignore these urges, and it’s not easy to manage on your own.
5. Depression
Depression is not about being unhappy. It’s a mood disorder that is caused by various factors, including genetic predispositions, brain chemistry, personality, life circumstances, and stress. Depression is not something people can just “get over” on their own. It is something that needs to be effectively managed and controlled through counselling and a healthy lifestyle.
6. Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders effect about 25% of Canadians over the age of 18. Symptoms often include feelings of nervousness, panic, increased heart rate, and even decreased concentration. These symptoms and feelings can make if difficult to get through the day and can be taxing on a person’s well-being. Fortunately, there are a number of effective treatments for anxiety disorders that can help reduce and eliminate these feelings.
