focus areas

include but are not limited to:

  • A neurodevelopmental disorder that typically begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

  • A natural response to stress, characterized by apprehension, worry, irritability, and unease. However, when excessive or prolonged, it can become a mental health disorder, affecting daily life.

  • A mood disorder characterized by persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, changes in sleep and appetite, and often accompanied by other emotional and physical symptoms.

  • Periods of extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels can significantly impact functioning.

  • A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. It’s called a “spectrum” because individuals can have a wide range of strengths and difficulties.

  • Persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed in response to the obsessions. These behaviors are aimed at reducing distress.

  • A mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include intrusive memories, nightmares, heightened arousal, and mood changes.
