Condition

Physical Conditions

Common Physical Conditions you may be experiencing that impact your mental health.

Your mental health and wellness depend on much more than what’s above your shoulders. In fact, more and more research continues to prove that mental health and physical health are fundamentally tied together.

With that fact in mind, we take a holistic, humanistic approach to mental wellness, which includes helping to address physical conditions that are known to negatively impact your mental health.

Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies

utrition and optimal brain function go hand in hand. Examining diet and nutritional predispositions, and creating a plan for improvement accordingly, are vital to improving mental health and physical wellbeing.

Hormone Imbalances

The feelings associated with mental health, both positive and negative, are all about how the body releases hormones in response to different stimuli. When your hormones become out of step with your reality, mental wellness can become a challenge.

Contamination & Dirtiness Fixation

The overwhelming feeling that, no matter how many times something is cleaned or how visibly tidy it is, it is still filthy. This feeling can go so far as to induce claustrophobia.

Cardiovascular Conditions

From high blood pressure to hypertension, cardiovascular conditions are closely tied to mental health concerns; particularly anxiety. By understanding the mental to physical connections, we can develop holistic plans that help patients achieve greater mental wellness.

Obesity

Obesity, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity are routinely connected with mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders while also being the precursor to many more serious physical conditions. Addressing obesity is a key step in addressing mental health challenges patients may be facing.

Wellness and Preventative Care

Just like mental wellness, physical fitness requires ongoing maintenance. We consult with patients to develop plans that address the body and mind, ultimately working in pursuit of positive mental health outcomes.

Phobia-Related Disorders

Debilitating fear of something(s) in particular (flying in an airplane, heights, spiders, animals, public restrooms, being outside of the home alone, crowds, etc)

Does this sound like you? We're here to help.

When do Physical Conditions become an issue?

The answer to this question truly depends on what physical condition or conditions you’re facing. Broadly, when these conditions start having an impact on your daily life, whether physically or mentally, it’s time to address them proactively.
