Grief and Bereavement
Grief and Bereavement
Everyone experiences grief and bereavement differently and at their own pace. After going through a loss, it's common to feel you're on auto-pilot during the first year and seek professional help by the end of the second year. While unpredictable emotions and uncontrollable crying are normal, there is a significant difference between clinical depression and bereavement that requires a trained professional to assess, diagnose and treat.
Bipolar Disorder with ADHD and Anxiety
Bipolar Disorder with ADHD and Anxiety
People with symptoms of bipolar disorder often experience symptoms of anxiety and/or adhd simultaneously. Maintaining professional or personal relationships can be challenging. It is possible and feasible to learn to manage and be in control of all of these symptoms and have meaningful, successful relationships and employment.
Depression
Depression
Depression tends to be thoughts of "gloom and doom." A sense of a "black cloud" and heaviness are common. Sleeping a lot, poor hygiene, difficulty accomplishing tasks and a significant lack of motivation. At times, it can be weeks before a person leaves their home due to depression.
Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety tends to be the "what if thoughts." Truly fear of the unknown. Sleep is often affected by frequent awakenings and difficulty falling asleep. At times, high anxiety may appear as symptoms of adhd or mania.
