MENTAL DISORDERS

Mood disorders are characterized by having unstable moods that make it difficult for a person to maintain long-term relationships and do well on the job or at school. The individual often gets stuck in one mood, including depression or mania, and stays in it for hours or days at a time. While mood disorders, like bipolar disorder, cannot be cured, they can be managed with professional help.  

The most common type of trauma-related disorder are post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder. Trauma disorders result after a person experiences one or more traumatic events, such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, military-related events, natural disasters, school or workplace shootings, and more.

When anxiety becomes uncontrollable and impacts a person’s relationships, career, and education, it is an anxiety disorder. Types of anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias. Anxiety disorders are the most commonly occurring type of mental health disorders worldwide.

Personality disorders are characterized by difficulty maintaining healthy relationships because of how the person thinks, feels, and behaves. The individual has uncontrolled mood swings and may have another mental health disorder at the same time. In addition, there are several types of personality disorders classified into Clusters A, B, and C.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a Cluster B personality disorder where the person struggles with emotional regulation, impulse control, black-and-white thinking, and difficulty maintaining healthy relationships. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is the primary treatment method of this disorder, along with medications and holistic approaches.

These disorders, including thought disorders, are characterized by difficulty thinking, expressing thoughts, and communicating, as well as limited personal or social relationships. The individual may also experience hallucinations or delusions. While schizophrenia spectrum disorders are not curable, they can be managed with professional treatment.

Grief is a natural emotional process that occurs following a significant loss—such as the death of a loved one or a breakup of a romantic relationship. However, when grief lingers for the long term and never seems to improve, you might develop complicated grief with additional mental health symptoms such as depression or anxiety.

Behavioral disorders can negatively impact your quality of life and overall well-being. At Time Wellness Centers in Tennessee, we will help you develop healthy coping skills to replace unhealthy behavioral patterns. Treatment options include holistic therapy, CBT, DBT, and medication management.

Sleep disorders often co-occur with other mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. Addressing a co-occurring sleep disorder or sleep issues as a symptom of another disorder can help you feel more energized, focused, resilient, and more balanced overall. 

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating, and other types of disordered eating habits. Oftentimes, eating disorders are rooted in underlying mental health distress. Our treatment program helps people heal from eating disorders and develop healthy coping mechanisms for underlying causes.

Suicidal ideation is a sign that your mental health is significantly impaired. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts that don’t seem to go away, you need to get help immediately. Suicidal ideation could be a symptom of a mental health disorder, like depression, PTSD, or OCD.

Dual diagnosis — also called co-occurring disorders — is the simultaneous presence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder in the same person at the same time.

Burnout is more than just stress. This can lead to a decline in your mental and physical well-being. Our burnout treatment program will help you overcome burnout and any co-occurring disorders or underlying issues contributing to it.
