Mental Health Q & A

What are the common mental health conditions?

Your mental health consists of your emotions, thought and behavior patterns, and mood. It affects all aspects of your life, including your relationships, job, and physical health. Some of the most common mental health challenges include:

  • Bipolar disorder
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Substance use disorder (SUD)
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Attention-deficit disorder (ADD)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

You may also struggle with insomnia, either as a side effect of a mental health condition or on its own.

Diana is highly skilled in treating an array of mental health conditions to ease bothersome symptoms and maximize your quality of life.

She uses holistic treatments whenever possible, with the option of medication management if it’s needed.

What are the symptoms of mental health challenges?

The symptoms you may encounter because of a mental health condition include:

  • Constant worry or fear
  • Extreme or ongoing depression 
  • Flashbacks
  • Nightmares
  • Obsessions
  • Compulsions
  • Mood swings
  • Substance misuse
  • Problems paying attention or sitting still
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Weight loss or weight gain
  • Loss of interest in favorite activities
  • Withdrawal from family and friends

If your symptoms are severe or they don’t go away on their own, see Diana for a mental health evaluation. 

Your risk of having a mental health challenge may increase because of a family history of mental health issues, past trauma, ongoing stress, or having certain personality traits.

How does my provider diagnose mental health issues?

Diana screens you for mental health disorders by reviewing your personal and family medical histories. She asks about your lifestyle habits, symptoms, and current medication regimen.

During a psychiatric evaluation, she asks questions about your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and mood.

My Wellness Psychiatry offers GeneSight® genetic testing to determine which medications may work best with your genetic makeup and personalized needs. Diana then tailors a treatment plan that suits your unique situation. 

What are the standard treatments for mental health disorders?

Diana offers an array of effective mental health treatments. She uses lifestyle-change counseling to teach you ways to improve your diet, exercise, and sleep habits, while minimizing stress.

My Wellness Psychiatry also provides medication management, psychotherapy, and more. During counseling sessions, Diana uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or other forms of therapy to help you overcome traumatic situations and unpleasant symptoms linked to a mental health disorder. 

She follows up with you to make sure your treatment is effective and offers counseling sessions whenever needed.
