Holistic Mental Health Treatment

Mental health problems can manifest in many ways. Life can become very unmanageable when the mind is unwell. There are a variety of classification schemes for mental health conditions, and the precise diagnostic criteria of these syndromes are complex. Often times, a single individual can meet criteria for multiple disorders at the same time, together with elements of addictive thinking or disorders.

These can include:

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Insomnia

• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or Impulsivity

• Bipolar Disorder

• Suicidiality and other self harm behaviours (parasuicidiality)

• Personality Disorders (such as borderline, antisocial, dependent and others)

• Impulse Control Disorders

• Eating Disorders

Before adequate treatment can occur, the diagnoses must first be ascertained. For example, sometimes depression can be a primary diagnosis. But it can also be a symptom of addiction. Without proper diagnoses, the treatment becomes less effective. We ascertain this during our intake and early appointments.

At NAM, we take the view that you are a human first. Your diagnostic label needn’t define you, and you have the ability to influence your situation. Wherever you are in your level of function, our goal is to coach you to attain your goals. We use a variety of means including psychotherapy, group therapy, education, skills development and medication to help our patients recover and thrive. We aspire to empower you to make a difference in your own life.
