Depression: Major depressive disorder, commonly known as clinical depression, can affect your daily life, from sleeping to working, and requires attention.
Postpartum: Postpartum depression is more than just the “Baby Blues” and can affect both mothers and babies.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): OCD is characterized by uncontrollable, recurring thoughts and behaviors that interfere with daily life.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): ADHD can affect both adults and children, impacting attention span and self-control.
Trauma: Severe psychological distress following traumatic events requires specialized care and support.
Psychosis: Experiencing disruptions in thoughts and perceptions can be a sign of psychosis.
Bipolar Disorder: Unusual shifts in mood and energy levels characterize bipolar disorder.
Phobia: Irrational fears that interfere with daily life can be addressed through therapy and support.
