Anxiety / Panic Disorders

Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety / panic disorder experience uncontrolled and intense worry / fear about everyday matters.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to help someone with anxiety or panic disorder may vary depending on the individual’s specific situation. However, some ways to help someone with anxiety or panic disorder include providing support and understanding, helping them to identify and manage their triggers, and teaching them healthy coping mechanisms.

Dealing with Anxiety / Panic Disorders

There are many ways to deal with anxiety and panic disorders. Some people may need medication to help control their symptoms, while others may benefit from therapy or relaxation techniques. Treatment for panic disorder typically includes a combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Medication can help to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks, while CBT can help to address the underlying causes of panic disorder and help people to develop coping strategies.

There are a number of treatments for panic disorder, including:

  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
  • Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)
  • Benzodiazepines

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), also known as serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors, are a class of drugs that are typically used as antidepressants in the treatment of major depressive disorders and anxiety disorders.

Depression is a serious mental health condition that can have a profound effect on every aspect of a person’s life. It can cause serious changes in mood, energy levels, sleep patterns, and appetite. It can also lead to problems with concentration, motivation, and self-esteem. Depression can even make it difficult to cope with everyday stressors and activities. Left untreated, depression can worsen to the point where a person experiences suicidal thoughts or attempts suicide.

There can be many causes of mental depression. Some people may be predisposed to it due to family history or other factors while others may develop it after experiencing a traumatic event. Still others may simply have a chemical imbalance in their brains.

Dealing with Depression

As everyone experiences and copes with depression in different ways, each person requires different treatment. Some helpful strategies for dealing with depression may include talking to a therapist or counselor, joining a support group, participating in regular exercise, and making lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep. Additionally, some people find that medication can be helpful in managing their depression.

There are many different medications that can be used to treat depression and anxiety. Some common medications include SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and MAOIs.

The best medical treatment for depression varies depending on the individual's specific situation and needs. However, therapy is generally considered to be an effective treatment for depression, and many people find it helpful in managing their symptoms.

ADD / ADHD

Trying to understand the difference between ADD and ADHD? They are pretty much the same thing. The main difference is that ADHD has a hyperactive component that is not present in ADD. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. Most people with ADD or ADHD will respond well to both medication and therapy. In fact, a combination of the two is often the best approach.

Dealing with ADD / ADHD

Some commonly prescribed medications for ADD and ADHD in adults include stimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamines (Adderall), as well as non-stimulant medications such as atomoxetine (Strattera) and bupropion (Wellbutrin).

If you’re looking to treat your ADD or ADHD with therapy, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, the type of therapy you receive will depend on the severity of your symptoms and the underlying causes of your condition. For example, if your ADD or ADHD is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain, you may benefit from medication. However, if your ADD or ADHD is the result of a traumatic event, you may benefit from cognitive-behavioral therapy or other types of therapy that focus on helping you deal with the emotions associated with your condition.

Some general guidelines on how to deal with ADHD may include:

  • Encouraging the individual to lead a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise
  • Helping the individual to establish a daily routine and stick to it as much as possible
  • Teaching the individual strategies to help manage symptoms, such as time management and organizational skills
  • • Encouraging the individual to avoid substances that can worsen symptoms, such as caffeine, marijuana, alcohol, and nicotine
  • Providing support and understanding to the individual and their family members/caregivers

In addition, it’s important to find a therapist who specializes in treating ADD and ADHD. Not all therapists are created equal and you want to make sure you’re working with someone who really understands your challenges and can help you overcome them.

With the right tools and support in place, you can make a noticeable shift in the way you feel and function and start enjoying life much more.

The best therapy for treating PTSD varies depending on the patient’s unique situation and needs. However, some common treatments for PTSD include cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others.

Some people with ASD are able to live relatively normal lives, while others may need a lifetime of specialist support.

ASD is generally characterized by difficulties with social interaction, social communication and repetitive behaviors. People with ASD may also have difficulties with sensory processing, such as being oversensitive to certain sounds or textures.

Dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Some general tips for dealing with ASD include:

  • Encouraging social interaction and communication: This can be done through activities such as joint attention games, social stories, and speech therapy.

There are many different types of ASD, and each type has its own set of symptoms. The most common type of ASD is Asperger’s Syndrome. People with Asperger’s Syndrome typically have difficulty with social interaction and communication. They may also have repetitive behaviors or interests.

Other types of ASD include autistic disorder, Rett syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder.

ASD is more common in boys than girls. It is also more common in people who have a family history of ASD.

Treatment for ASD typically includes behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Medications may also be used to treat specific symptoms, such as anxiety or depression.

Our Gene Testing service uses state-of-the-art technology to analyze clinically important, medication related genetic variations. This information allows us to create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique genetic makeup. By understanding how your genes may affect medication outcomes, we can make an informed decision about which medications may be most effective for your specific mental health condition.

Gene Testing

Gene Testing is simple, its a swab in your cheek. This can be done in the convenience of your home or in the provider's office. Once the test results are analyzed, we create a personalized medication treatment plan for you, empowering you to take control of your mental health and well-being.

At Vital Mental Health Services, we believe in a personalized approach to mental health treatment. Our Gene Testing service is just one of the many ways we provide tailored and compassionate care to support you in your mental health journey. Contact us today to schedule your Gene Testing consultation.
