Depression ​​​​​​
According to the World Health Organization, in 2019, an estimated 280 million people, including 5% of all adults, experienced depression. People with depression are at increased risk of suicide. Furthermore, research also shows strong relationships between depression and physical health, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases.​​​​​​
Bipolar Disorder​​​​​​
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects a person’s mood, energy, activity and thought and is characterized by manic (or hypomanic) and depressive episodes. According to the WHO, an estimated 40 million people live with bipolar disorder worldwide. There are a range of effective treatment options, which includes but is not limited to prescribed medication and psychosocial interventions to help people with bipolar disorder stay well and in balance.​​​​​​
​Anxiety Disorders​​​​​
According to the American Psychological Association, anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased heart rate, GI upset and sweating. Anxiety is not the same as fear, but they are often used interchangeably. Anxiety is considered a future-oriented, long-acting response broadly focused on a diffuse threat, whereas fear is an appropriate, present-oriented, and short-lived response to a clearly identifiable and specific threat. In today’s world experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger and can be long lasting. These intense anxious feelings may cause a person to avoid certain places or people and can cause significant disruption to social functioning.​​​​​
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder & Related Trauma Responses​​​​​​
PTSD can occur after you have experienced a traumatic event. In today’s world, the word "trauma" is frequently used for many different types of experiences that are stressful; however, not all stressful events are the type of trauma that puts an individual at risk of developing PTSD. For the development of PTSD, the trauma must be a shocking and dangerous event that you see or that happens to you. During this type of event, you think that your life or others' lives are in danger. The good news is that most people who go through a traumatic event will not develop PTSD. However, about 6 out of every 100 people (or 6% of the U.S. population) will have PTSD at some point in their lives. Women and Veterans are at increased risk of developing PTSD. For more information you can visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. ​​​​​​
Psychosis
Psychosis is disconnection from reality. People may have false beliefs or experience things that aren’t real. Psychosis isn’t a condition rather it's a term that describes a collection of symptoms which may include delusions and hallucinations. Psychosis can be an aspect of many disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and even severe depression. There are effective treatments to target symptoms of psychosis and the underlying condition.​​​​​​
Insomnia
Insomnia is the subjective experience of disfunction caused by disrupted or inadequate sleep. About 10% of the world’s population experience insomnia that qualifies as a medical condition. Insomnia can be a medical condition on its own, but it can also be a symptom of another mental health condition such as depression. There are effective pharmacological treatment options for insomnia, but the majority are meant for short term use. First line treatment of insomnia is a type of therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia.​​​​​​
Eating Disorders​​​​​​
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that are characterized by persistent disturbances in eating behaviors and impairment in psychological functioning. The cause of eating disorders is a combination of biological influences (genetics), psychological factors (low self-esteem, perfectionism, etc.), sociocultural issues (“fat shaming”, society’s obsession with being thin and emphasis on appearance) and environmental factors (personal history of trauma or abuse).
Treatment options typically include therapy specifically geared towards eating disorders and medications with are intended to treat the eating disorder but also any accompanying conditions such as anxiety or depression.
ADHD
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) — is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by inattentiveness, distractibility, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. At In Bloom careful attention is given to diagnosing this specific disorder and will likely not occur on the first visit. Rather, data will be collected from a variety of sources and combined with the diagnostic interview and overall clinical picture. At times, referral for neuropsychological testing may be appropriate before treatment with medication management.
