HOW REVIVE HOPE PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES CAN HELP WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
As you may already know, mental disorders are existent and common. In fact, according to the National Institute Council and Institute of Medicine, one out of 5 American adults (nearly 58 million) and 13-20% of children are likely to be diagnosed with at least one mental disorder in a given year. These statistics emphasize the need to take your mental health as seriously as your physical health. The good news is that mental conditions are often treatable or manageable. This article will discuss some signs indicating that you or your loved one should see a mental health professional. I will also share the right place to look to improve your mental health.
HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE TO CONSULT A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL?
Not all mental conditions are readily apparent; some may go unnoticed or misunderstood. The truth is that you cannot find a solution to a problem you do not know exists. The first step in solving this problem, or any problem, as a matter of fact, is to recognize and accept it.
Here are some common signs that indicate that you need to speak to a mental health professional:
1. Suicidal thoughts: As you may have guessed, having occasional or persistent thoughts of ending your life may be a sign of a serious mental condition.
2. Confused thinking: This involves finding it challenging to keep up with conversations or poor attention span and suffering from short-term memory
3. Cycles of extreme highs and lows: One moment, you are overly excited, usually for no good reason or an insignificant reason, followed by a deep feeling of sadness unprovoked.
4. Social withdrawal: You do not feel like meeting people and prefer to be left alone in your room most of the time. This is different from being an introvert. If you feel energized, fulfilled, and genuinely happy to be alone, then it means you are introverted. However, if spending time alone makes you feel sad, empty, and alone, then you are withdrawing or isolating.
5. Sleep disturbances: Sleeping too much or too little may also indicate a mental disorder.
6. Extreme anxiety
7. Substance abuse
8. Delusions & Hallucination
9. Loss of interest and motivation for activities you previously enjoyed.
10. Inability to perform daily activities such as personal care and hygiene.
WHERE TO GO FOR HELP?
If you or someone close to you is showing signs of poor mental health, it is crucial to visit a medical or mental health professional. Your healthcare provider will assess your condition and determine if further treatment is required. Finding an establishment with licensed healthcare providers you can trust is vital. Since 2022, Revive Hope’s psychiatric services have been dedicated to providing comprehensive psychiatric services.

We understand how devastating and challenging it can be to seek help, especially when dealing with conditions affecting the mind. Just know that you do not have to go through it alone. Revive Hope is committed to delivering empathetic, compassionate, and holistic mental healthcare.
We recognize that mental healthcare is not one-size-fits-all. Each person brings unique experiences, challenges, and strengths to the table. That is why our treatment approaches are tailored to suit individual client needs.
We take pride in thoroughly investigating each patient’s condition, listening to you, asking thorough questions for accurate history taking, performing various physical assessments, and conducting a series of blood tests and radiology tests. We do all these and more to provide a concise diagnosis.
From there, our team of professionals will prescribe the required medication or treatment, if needed, to manage your condition.
We also offer supportive psychotherapy, where your psychiatric nurse practitioner will provide you with emotional support, and encouragement and guide you in acquiring positive coping mechanisms to overcome challenging life experiences.
WHAT ARE SOME THE MENTAL CONDITIONS WE TREAT?
Our team of mental professionals is experienced to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:
- Mood disorders: Mood disorders like bipolar disorder and major depression make you lose control of your emotions. If you have a mood disorder, you will notice that your moods alternate from extreme happiness to extreme sadness.
- Anxiety disorders- This causes intense fear and worry. Examples of anxiety disorders include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.
- Personality Disorder: These individuals elicit long-term behavior patterns that differ from the norm or what is generally accepted. These include narcissistic, schizoid, avoidant, and dependent personality disorder.
- Eating disorders: Overeating, too little, or purging whatever you take could be considered an eating disorder. Examples of such eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, and binge eating.
- Sleep disorders: Having difficulty sleeping or sleeping more than often could also indicate a mental problem that needs attention.
- Attention Deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): This is a chronic condition involving attention difficulty, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity.
- We also provide anger management.
