Some of the most common mental health conditions are depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Insomnia is a condition that may be related to other mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. Anxiety disorders can involve a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from generalized worrying to panic attacks. Panic attacks are common, as is the development of depressive symptoms when social anxiety disorders become chronic.

Two additional common mental health disorders, Social Anxiety Disorder and Specific Phobias, are described briefly below. Treatments for anxiety disorders may include therapy, education, and medications. Instead, mental health disorders are treated with an emphasis on reducing symptoms, treating the root causes, and making the condition manageable.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment offers holistic mental health services to individuals struggling with both mental health conditions and addiction or substance use disorders.

Therapy may be used to address various disorders, including panic disorders, anxiety, depression, anger issues, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Alter Behavioral Health provides treatment to individuals facing underlying mental disorders, including depression, OCD, ADHD, anxiety, autism, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, mood disorders, and more. Mood disorders may include depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and self-harm.

Often, mood disorders produce feelings of extreme joy (mania) or sadness (depression) that are difficult to cope with. The mood swings caused by bipolar disorder are far more serious than the minor highs and lows most people experience every day. While many people have emotional ups and downs, those who suffer from a mood disorder will find these extreme mood states may persist over a long period of time.

Environmental stressors may also cause episodes of bipolar affective disorder. Fear, anxiety, sleeplessness, PTSD, nightmares, racing thoughts, and phobias are additional symptoms associated with anxiety disorders. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress or PTSD include intense anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, and an inability to control thoughts of trauma.

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health disorders, including generalized anxiety disorders, social phobias, specific phobias (such as agoraphobia and claustrophobia), panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and PTSD. Examples of mental illnesses include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addictive behaviors. Other diseases or conditions, including a variety of sleep-related problems and several forms of dementia, including Alzheimers, are sometimes classified as mental illnesses, as other diseases or conditions affect the brain.

People who suffer from manic attacks, but who do not experience episodes of depression, are also classified as having the disorder. In some cases, individuals can be living with multiple types of mental disorders, even though those disorders impact their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. People affected by psychosis can experience delusions, hallucinations, and confused thinking. Psychosis may occur with several types of mental illnesses, including medication-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, and mood disorders. As a result, individuals who have psychiatric disorders need to receive medications and treatments.
