- Depression
- Anxiety disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The team also specializes in treating the mental health side effects of Alzheimer’s, dementia, substance use disorders, and insomnia. Additionally, they can address behavioral issues affecting your ability to succeed at work, school, or in social situations.
When should I schedule a mental health evaluation?
You should schedule a mental health evaluation at Bethany Health Services if you’re experiencing persistent symptoms like:
- Sadness
- Hopelessness
- Mood swings
- Intrusive thoughts
- Negative thought patterns
- Loss of interest in activities
It’s also important that you seek immediate medical attention if you experience thoughts of self-harm or suicide. In these circumstances, you should call 911 or seek help at the nearest emergency room.
The Bethany Health Services team provides comprehensive evaluations to better understand your health needs. They spend time listening to your symptoms and their impact on your life. The team may also request blood work or other lab tests to ensure your symptoms don’t relate to a physical health condition.
Based on the results of your evaluation, the providers customize a care plan to ease your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
How are mental health conditions treated?
Typically, treatment plans for mental health disorders involve a combination of psychological therapy and medications.
The Bethany Health Services team offers several types of psychological therapies, including psychotherapy (talk therapy) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to help you recognize negative thoughts and emotions. The providers give you tools to better manage your mental health at each therapy session.
If your symptoms continue even with therapy, you might need medications like antidepressants or antianxiety medications. The team offers medication management services to ensure you use the right medications at the proper doses.
