Mood Disorders

 

Is your mood keeping you from living the life you want to?

A mood disorder often brings a persistent feeling of sadness or hopelessness that can last for weeks or even months, affecting your everyday life. It can drain your energy, disrupt your sleep and appetite, and impair your ability to focus. For both teens and adults, these challenges can lead to withdrawal from friends, family, and previously enjoyed activities. These symptoms can lead to depression or major depressive disorder, serious medical conditions that can be lifelong battles. 

Moving beyond your mood disorder can be particularly challenging when those around you encourage you to “cheer up” or “focus on the positive.” Though these sentiments may be well-meaning, they can make someone suffering from depression feel even more isolated. Mood related problems can be hard to articulate which makes them difficult for others to understand and empathize with. It doesn’t help that many mood disorders include a heavy dose of self-doubt, keeping you from reaching out. Luckily there are trained professionals like those at Vancouver ADHD and Mood Clinic PLLC who can help. 

We strive to lend constructive, compassionate support, and suggest new tools to help you achieve happiness and wellness. 

If you or a loved one are struggling with mood, a trained professional can be a serious help. Our providers are trained to handle a wide range of mood-related conditions through thoughtful prescribing and managing a wide range of psychiatric medications and treatment modalities. 

Anxiety

Is your daily life interrupted by moments of extreme panic or anxiety? Do you find yourself holding back or worrying about the next panic attack or distracting compulsion? 

A variety of anxiety disorders and panic disorders can contribute to disruptive feelings of unease or worry. Moments of extreme fear or concern can prevent you from freely enjoying life. Constant obsessions and nagging compulsions are exhausting and can hinder daily productivity and success in school or work. Social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder are common conditions in both teens and adults. If you feel anxious you are far from alone, but your problem is also no small matter. Managing anxious feelings requires a wide array of tools. 

You may find it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of your fears or compulsions, despite the overwhelming nature of the feelings. Sometimes the root cause of our anxiety is hidden from us. A trained therapist has a wide range of tools to help understand our own psyche and pinpoint past traumas that still affect us today. Our providers specialize in the diagnosis and supportive treatment of all panic and anxiety conditions, including associated depression. Anxiety and Depression are often paired with one feeding the other.
