Conditions

Depression comes in many forms, some long lasting and others situational. Some of the common features of depression include persistent low mood (including sadness, anger, or feelings of emptiness).

Like depression, anxiety comes in different forms. Anxiety often manifests as symptoms related to irrational fear and excessive dread, and many anxious people experience distressing physical symptoms.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an anxiety disorder in which patients have an uncontrollable need to perform routines or check things constantly and repeatedly.

Also known as manic-depressive illness, Bipolar Disorder is characterized by severe shifts in mood, energy, and ability to function. Many people with bipolar disorder experience problems in relationships, work and school performance.

A type of anxiety disorder, PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop after a traumatic event (or multiple events, including abuse) that involved the threat of death or physical injury. PTSD symptoms can include disturbing memories or intrusive thoughts of the event.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is common in children and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. People with ADHD often have trouble focusing, are hyperactive, and may struggle with controlling their behavior.
