Adjustment Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by an excessive or prolonged emotional or behavioral response to a significant life stressor, such as a major life change, loss, or event. Symptoms, which may include sadness, anxiety, or difficulty functioning, typically arise within three months of the stressor and diminish when the stressor is resolved or the individual adapts to it.
Anxiety is a mental health condition marked by excessive worry, fear, or apprehension about everyday situations, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as restlessness, rapid heartbeat, or difficulty concentrating. It can range from mild to severe and may interfere with daily life, manifesting as generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or specific phobias.
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels can affect daily functioning, with episodes varying in intensity and duration depending on the type of bipolar disorder.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by intense emotional instability, difficulty maintaining relationships, and an unstable self-image. Individuals with BPD often experience impulsive behaviors, fear of abandonment, and patterns of extreme reactions, which can significantly impact their daily lives and interpersonal connections.
Depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. It often affects a person’s thoughts, emotions, and physical health, making it difficult to function in daily life.
Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, involuntary thoughts, images, or urges that are often distressing and can be associated with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or other mental health conditions. While these thoughts are typically not reflective of a person’s true intentions or desires, they can cause significant emotional distress and disrupt daily functioning.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that occurs after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, characterized by intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares. It often leads to heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, and avoidance behaviors, significantly impacting a person’s ability to function in daily life.
Schizophrenia is a severe mental health disorder characterized by distortions in thinking, perception, emotions, and behavior, often including hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized speech. It affects an individual’s ability to distinguish reality, leading to challenges in daily functioning and interpersonal relationships.
Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health condition that combines symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, with mood disorder symptoms like depression or mania. This blend of psychotic and mood disturbances can vary in intensity and duration, significantly impacting daily life and relationships.
Self-harm is a mental health condition where individuals intentionally injure themselves as a way to cope with emotional distress, numbness, or overwhelming feelings. Common examples include cutting, burning, scratching, or hitting oneself, often done in secrecy and not intended as a suicide attempt but as a means of temporary relief from emotional pain.
DISuicidal ideation is a mental health condition characterized by persistent thoughts or fantasies about ending one’s life, which may range from vague thoughts to detailed plans. It often occurs alongside other mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, and requires immediate professional support to prevent potential harm.
Substance use conditions, also known as substance use disorders, involve the harmful or dependent use of alcohol, drugs, or other substances, leading to significant impairment in daily life. These conditions often manifest through cravings, inability to control use, and continued consumption despite negative consequences such as health problems, legal issues, or relationship strain. Treatment in Bournewood Partial Hospitalization Programs typically includes group therapy, counseling, medication management, and after-care planning to help individuals manage their symptoms, develop coping strategies, and work towards long-term recovery.
Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder, is a chronic condition characterized by an inability to control alcohol consumption despite negative physical, emotional, and social consequences. Individuals with alcohol addiction often experience cravings, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms, leading to continued drinking to avoid discomfort. Treatment in Bournewood Partial Hospitalization Programs and in Bournewood’s Detox Inpatient Unit typically include options such as therapy, support groups, and medical intervention, to help individuals reduce or stop drinking and address the underlying psychological and physical aspects of the addiction.
A co-occurring disorder refers to the simultaneous presence of two or more mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD, alongside a substance use disorder. These disorders interact and can complicate treatment, requiring integrated care that addresses both mental health and substance use simultaneously for effective recovery.
