It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. Depression can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, chemical imbalances in the brain, life events, and environmental factors. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include feelings of worthlessness, fatigue, difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much, and changes in appetite. Depression can significantly impact your quality of life and may lead to feelings of isolation, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that is commonly used to treat depression. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to your symptoms. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is another type of therapy that is often used to treat depression. IPT focuses on improving relationships and social support to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. Other types of therapy, such as psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, may also be used. The goal of psychotherapy is to help you learn coping skills, develop positive behaviors, and improve your overall quality of life. In some cases, we may suggest medication to be prescribed in conjunction with therapy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bb53b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1bb53b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"OBSESSIVECOMPULSIVEDISORDER\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b6de33 elementor-section-full_width elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b6de33\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4063fa9\" data-id=\"4063fa9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e08d15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4e08d15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-949ec73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"949ec73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). People with OCD often feel compelled to perform specific actions or rituals to alleviate their anxiety. These behaviors can interfere with daily life and cause significant distress. While the exact cause of OCD is unknown, research suggests that a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors may contribute to its development. OCD often co-occurs with other mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and tic disorders.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment for OCD typically involves a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for OCD and it focuses on identifying and challenging negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to obsessions and compulsions. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a specific type of CBT that involves gradually exposing you to anxiety-provoking situations and preventing you from performing compulsive behaviors. This helps you learn to tolerate anxiety and reduce the need to perform compulsive behaviors. Medication, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can also be effective in reducing symptoms of OCD. In some cases we may recommend a combination of psychotherapy and medication.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f56eb38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f56eb38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"ADHD\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7d5b42c\" data-id=\"7d5b42c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e22070 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3e22070\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-77b5dd0 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77b5dd0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae793b0\" data-id=\"ae793b0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31c2e50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"31c2e50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9569d69\" data-id=\"9569d69\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58d2dcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"58d2dcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ADHD<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b72722f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b72722f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children and adults. It\u2019s commonly characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity and is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors, but is mostly known as a dysfunction in the dopamine system in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating attention, motivation, and rewards.\u00a0 Symptoms of ADHD include difficulty paying attention, forgetfulness, fidgeting or restlessness, interrupting or intruding on others, and impulsive decision-making. These symptoms can interfere with your daily life, including school or work performance, and can impact your social relationships.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ADHD can also impact your emotional regulation ability and increase your sensitivity to rejection. Those with ADHD may have difficulty regulating their emotions, leading to emotional dysregulation and outbursts and may be more sensitive to rejection or criticism, leading to increased feelings of sadness or anger. This sensitivity to rejection is often referred to as rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) and can be a symptom in those with ADHD. Learning skills for emotional regulation and coping with rejection sensitivity, such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and social skills training can call be helpful in managing these symptoms.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The treatment for ADHD typically includes a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Stimulant medication, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, can be effective in reducing symptoms of ADHD, but is not a cure. These medications work by increasing the levels of dopamine in the brain that regulate attention and impulse control. Psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, can also be helpful in managing symptoms of ADHD. CBT can teach you skills for managing organization, time management, and stress reduction. It can also help you develop coping strategies for dealing with the emotional impact of the disorder. Additionally, non-pharmacological treatments, such as exercise and behavioral interventions, may also increase dopamine levels and improve attention.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3d296a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f3d296a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"ANXIETY\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-198d6b4 elementor-section-full_width elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"198d6b4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f860cef\" data-id=\"f860cef\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dd89d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4dd89d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ANXIETY\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6ebb42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a6ebb42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety is a normal response to stress or perceived threat, but when anxiety becomes excessive or prolonged, it can become a disorder. Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive worry, fear, and avoidance behaviors. The etiology is complex and likely involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. Symptoms can include physical symptoms such as sweating, palpitations, and trembling, as well as psychological symptoms such as persistent worry, restlessness, and irritability. Anxiety can significantly impact your daily life, making it difficult to work, socialize, or engage in your regular activities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychotherapy is a common and effective treatment for anxiety disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used and focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Exposure therapy involves gradually exposing you to the feared object or situation, allowing you to become more comfortable and desensitized to the anxiety. Other types of psychotherapy that can be effective in treating anxiety disorders include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Medication, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and benzodiazepines, may also be used in conjunction with therapy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a30a73c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a30a73c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"GRIEFANDLOSS\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-005cd29\" data-id=\"005cd29\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-792a5e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"792a5e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1bbbc3 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1bbbc3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a31100\" data-id=\"1a31100\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6539d3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6539d3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eaddc4a\" data-id=\"eaddc4a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5e9a00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f5e9a00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"GRIEFANDLOSS\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">GRIEF AND LOSS\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8b4254 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b8b4254\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grief is a complex emotional response to loss and can include feelings of sadness, guilt, anger, and confusion.
