Mental Health Conditions

Mental health conditions and disorders can profoundly impact your ability to lead a fulfilling and happy life. They impact your emotional, psychological, and social well-being and influence your daily functioning, relationships, and overall sense of control and hope.

At Kimball Health Services, we recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health and can significantly influence your quality of life. Our mental health provider, Ron Strachan, APRN, offers specialized care and personalized treatment for a variety of mental health conditions.

Types of Depression

Depression is a chronic and exhausting mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While many people may experience temporary feelings of sadness or low energy, depression is far more profound and persistent, often impacting every facet of life.

Depression can cast a long shadow over a person's life. It may affect their ability to work, maintain relationships, and enjoy daily activities. Depression can have a profound influence on both mental and physical health, potentially exacerbating conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and chronic pain.

Seeking specialized support for depression is a vital part of overall well-being, impacting both mental and physical health.

Anxiety Disorders

An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition that goes beyond the usual worries of everyday life, causing overwhelming feelings of anxiety, fear, and terror.

Feeling anxious is an uncomfortable but normal reaction to stress, especially in challenging situations that you may face daily. 

While it is common to experience mild anxiety, intense and prolonged anxiety may indicate an anxiety disorder.

For those dealing with an anxiety disorder, the persistent anxious feelings don't go away over time. Instead, they worsen and start affecting their daily functioning. 

Anxiety disorders can disrupt work, social life, and relationships, causing significant distress. In severe cases, they can also lead to panic attacks. Additionally, physical symptoms that accompany anxiety can complicate matters further.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a complex and challenging mental health condition that impacts your life by causing unpredictable mood swings. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is characterized by intense shifts in mood leading to episodes of manic highs and depressive lows.

Although it is common to experience ups and downs in your day-to-day life, bipolar disorder causes intense disruptions in your mood and energy levels. These mood swings can significantly impact various aspects of your daily functioning.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It commonly presents in childhood and can significantly impact mental health, social interaction, academics, and overall well-being.

ADHD affects how children think, feel, and act. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, staying still, or controlling impulses, which can impact their schoolwork, friendships, and overall well-being.

OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that leads to persistent, intrusive thoughts or urges known as obsessions. These obsessions can be distressing and anxiety-inducing and often lead to repetitive behaviors or rituals, known as compulsions, to relieve discomfort.

OCD can deeply impact your daily routines, social interactions, and overall well-being. The inability to control or stop compulsive thoughts and behaviors can cause significant disruption in everyday life.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a severely traumatic event. If you are dealing with PTSD, you may be grappling with intense intrusive thoughts and emotions tied to the traumatic event. These feelings can linger long after the event, interfering with your daily life.

While many people recover with time and self-care following a traumatic event, in some cases, symptoms worsen. They can last for months or even years and disrupt your daily life.

Trauma & Related Issues

Trauma and related issues encompass a broad spectrum of emotional and psychological responses to distressing or life-threatening events. These experiences can have enduring negative effects on your mental, physical, emotional, and social well-being.

When trauma significantly impacts your ability to function daily and worsens over time, it can develop into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, PTSD is just one of many potential outcomes of trauma.

Trauma can manifest in various ways and lead to different symptoms and related disorders, not necessarily PTSD alone.

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a complex and often misperceived mental health condition that affects a person's thinking, emotions, and behavior significantly. This disorder challenges our understanding of how the brain works, creating a unique blend of experiences for those affected.

We understand that schizophrenia can be an extremely challenging condition. Ron Strachan, APRN, provides empathetic support to help you manage the aspects of your condition that impact daily functioning or may be disabling.
