Issues we treat

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

This is one of the most common mental health conditions especially among the young/adolescent population. Individuals with this ADHD may have difficulty focusing, attentiveness, impulsiveness, hyperactivity etc.

Treatment: Managing these disorders typically consists of multiple factors and based on individuals and presentations. Some patients struggle more and the use of medications such as stimulants and non-stimulants, behaviour modification therapy, and lifestyle changes such as exercise and diet may be utilised.

Anxiety

This is a common disorder. People with anxiety may have difficulty sleeping, focusing, and experience physical symptoms such as chest tightness, extreme stress and discomfort and can transition to panic.

Treatment: Cognitive behavioural therapy and medications are used to manage anxiety and its related complications.

Bipolar disorder

This can cause a person to experience extreme shifts in mood, energy levels, and behaviours. These shifts can be severe, causing individuals to experience depression one moment and mania or hypomania the next.

Treatment: Options typically include medications and psychotherapy.

Depression

This is a serious mood disorder that can cause a person to become socially isolated, feel helpless and hopeless, and even lead to suicidal ideation.

Treatment: Typically includes antidepressants, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes such as exercise and diet, and in some cases, electroconvulsive therapy.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

This is a condition in which anxiety-provoking thoughts and behaviours interfere with daily functioning. Individuals suffering from this disorder may experience behavioural compulsions that induce anxiety if not followed through.

Treatment:Typically consists of medications, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure and response therapy.

Panic disorder

This is an anxiety disorder that causes sudden and recurring feelings of terror, dread, and fear out of the blue. People may experience physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and chest tightness.

Treatment: Medications such as antidepressants and antianxiety medications are typically prescribed.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

This is an anxiety disorder that can arise after exposure to a traumatic event. It is often characterised by flashbacks and nightmares, avoidance of the traumatic event, emotional numbing, and hyperarousal.

Treatment:Typically includes exposure therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, medications, and lifestyle changes.
