Anyone can develop an emotional or mental illness — you, a family member, a friend, or a neighbor.  Some disorders are mild, while others are serious and long-lasting; these conditions can be diagnosed and treated.

 

Medications play an important role in the treatment of mental health issues.  The right medication can control symptoms, restore function, and significantly improve a person's quality of life.  

​

It’s important to understand that not all patients or psychiatric problems require medicine.  In addition to medication, other forms of treatment such as counseling, life management skills, and behavioral therapies may also be recommended. 

 

There are, however, many instances when prescription medicines are the best way to relieve symptoms. Medication can be an effective part of the treatment of many mental illnesses such as

​

• Anxiety 

• Depression

• Bipolar Disorder

• Panic Disorder

• Sleep Problems

• ADD / ADHD
