Mental Health Q&A

What is mental health?

Mental health refers to the overall state of your emotions, behaviors, and thoughts (your cognitive processes). Your mental health influences every decision you make, affects your ability to connect with others, and determines how well you cope with life’s everyday and major challenges.

Your mental health directly affects your physical well-being. At the same time, many variables affect the quality of your mental health, including your lifestyle habits, experiences, relationships, overall physical health, and genetics.

At Davie Psychiatry, LLC, Adara recognizes the complex nature of your mental health and works with you to overcome your unique challenges.

Who can benefit from mental health care?

Anyone struggling with any aspect of their mental, emotional, or behavioral health can benefit from mental health care. As an experienced psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, Adara helps people dealing with stress, grief, and making major life decisions.

You may have your own challenges or need support as the parent of a child with emotional or behavioral problems.

Adara also diagnoses and treats psychological disorders, including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Insomnia
  • Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

She can help whether you need support through a tough time, therapy, or medication management.

What symptoms do mental health disorders cause?

Mental health disorders cause many possible signs and symptoms, but some of the most common include:

  • Sleeping more than usual
  • Dealing with insomnia
  • Experiencing mood swings
  • Feeling angry, acting aggressively, or having outbursts
  • Avoiding people and activities you usually enjoy
  • Struggling with fatigue and low energy
  • Feeling hopeless or worthless
  • Dealing with frequent or constant stress, dread, or anxiety
  • Drinking more than normal
  • Using illegal drugs
  • Having unwanted and uncontrollable thoughts
  • Having flashbacks or memories of trauma
  • Being unable to control your emotions

Mental health problems seldom improve on their own. It’s time to seek mental health care when you can’t shake negative feelings, can’t find a way forward, your symptoms don’t improve in a few weeks, or they interfere with your daily responsibilities.
