What is mental health?

Mental health is the category of your health referring to your emotional well-being and the effects it has on your thoughts and behaviors. There are many mental health conditions that can affect you at any age, including mood disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders. 

At Bridge the Gap Addiction and Mental Health Services, PLLC, Hazel specializes in providing assessments for mental health so she can get a comprehensive understanding of your psychological wellness. Many mental health disorders tend to co-occur with others, and she can treat you for multiple diagnoses at a time. 

Maintaining your mental health is an essential part of your well-being and can lead to better sleep, better concentration, greater control over your emotions, and an improved sense of self-esteem.

• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

If you experience changes in your emotions or behaviors that have a widespread impact on your life, it may be time to schedule a mental health assessment with Hazel.

How can I manage or improve my mental health?

Managing or improving your mental health is possible with individualized, professional care at Bridge the Gap Addiction and Mental Health Services, PLLC. Depending on your diagnosis and its impact on your life, Hazel might conduct treatment with:

Medication management

Medication management is a way of managing mental health disorders with their appropriate pharmaceuticals. While not everyone needs or can benefit from medications, prescriptions such as antidepressants for depression, sedatives for anxiety, and stimulant medications for ADHD can all assist alongside counseling. 

Counseling

Counseling is a highly beneficial component of any mental health care plan. Depending on your needs and preferences, you may benefit from individual counseling or counseling in a group setting. 

Residential treatment

Residential treatment may be a necessary part of your care, particularly if your mental health condition co-occurs with substance abuse. It involves counseling, medication management, detoxification, and mental health education.
