Understanding and Treating Mood Disorders

Feeling down, anxious, or overwhelmed can become a daily struggle, and it's important to remember you're not alone. Many people grapple with these emotions, and there's no shame in seeking help. These challenges can sometimes be symptoms of mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD.

 

If you're facing these difficulties, you might find a shift in your usual habits. Activities you once enjoyed may now feel like a burden. Daily tasks can become overwhelming, making it difficult to concentrate or stay focused on work, school, or even household chores. You might also experience significant changes in your sleep or appetite, sleeping more or less than usual, or struggling with changes in how much you eat.  Constant fatigue or a lack of energy can become a roadblock, leaving you drained even after a good night's sleep and unable to muster the energy for daily activities. Perhaps the most concerning signs are negative thoughts or feelings of hopelessness. Persistent sadness, worthlessness, or guilt, or finding yourself preoccupied with negative thoughts, can significantly impact your life.

 

Understanding mood disorders

Medication Management for Mood Disorders

We understand the importance of a multifaceted approach to mental health.  While we may not offer therapy services ourselves, we specialize in the interventional side of mental health through medication management.  This means we work collaboratively with your existing healthcare team, including primary care providers, psychiatrists, and behavioral health counselors, to develop a personalized medication plan for mood disorders. We can help regulate your medications and ensure you receive the most effective treatment possible

Collaborative Care for Your Mental Wellbeing

At Lonerock Clinic, we understand the importance of integrated care for your mental health.  We are happy to accept referrals from your primary care physician (PCP) for mental health treatment. This collaborative approach ensures open communication between our team and your PCP, allowing us to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your overall healthcare goals.  You don't need to be a Lonerock primary care patient to receive our mental health services – we are here to partner with you and your existing healthcare providers to provide the comprehensive support you deserve.

Struggling to Concentrate

Whether it's work deadlines, school assignments, or even household chores, focusing on tasks can feel nearly impossible. You might get easily distracted, have trouble remembering details, or experience brain fog.

Feeling Constantly On Edge

Anxiety can manifest as excessive worry, restlessness, or even physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat or difficulty sleeping. Everyday situations might feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to relax.

Low Mood or Interest

Depression can leave you feeling drained of energy and motivation. Simple tasks can feel like a burden, and you might isolate yourself from social interactions

Difficulty Managing Emotions
 

Mood swings, irritability, or difficulty controlling reactions are common symptoms of some mood disorders. This can impact your relationships and daily life.
