Depression.
Depression is a mood disorder in which someone experiences such low moods that it interferes with their daily life. Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in the United States.
The American Psychiatric Association estimates that one in every six individuals will experience depression in their lifetimes. Major depressive disorder is a treatable illness, even though it may feel impossible to overcome when someone is in the throws of it.
Stress.
Stress can become so intense that it interferes with someone’s quality of life. Patients with an unhealthy amount of stress need to learn coping mechanisms via “stress management.” Stress can be acute, chronic or episodic, and patients can experience multiple forms of this disorder. Any type of stress can lead to physical distress, as well, including weight loss, insomnia, and even heart pain. Learning coping mechanisms is imperative to leading a healthy life.
Self Esteem.
Self-esteem refers to how much confidence someone has in their own worth or abilities. Self esteem affects our thoughts, but also how we act. Self esteem goes up and down throughout anyone’s life. Improving self esteem takes time and effort. In some cases, individuals may have unusually high self esteem which can also be unhealthy and might indicate a narcissistic personality disorder. Those with low self esteem can suffer from other issues such as depression.
Relationship Issues.
Many relationship problems revolve around lack of healthy, assertive communication — communication that is open, direct, respectful, honest, and personal. Couples get into problems when they’re afraid to be honest — usually because they think the truth will upset their partner and might jeopardize the relationship. Repetitive negative relationship patterns stem from problems originating in childhood, such as disrespectful communication, lack of nurturing or free emotional expression, a controlling parent, violation of boundaries, neglect, witnessing parental conflict, mental illness, addiction, or abuse.
Behavioral Issues.
Behavioral disorders are classified as a pattern of behaviors that are disruptive and harmful to you and those around you. These disorders are typically diagnosed and treated in early childhood, but if left untreated they can affect your adult life making it difficult for you to maintain healthy relationships, regular employment, and other functions of a typical adult. Behavior disorders can greatly impact a person’s life. Whether you’ve been diagnosed since a child, are concerned about warning signs in a loved one, or are recognizing symptoms in your own life, the best way to treat a behavioral disorder is to be fully informed
