Why is mental health important?

Your mental health is critical in handling daily stressors, being productive at work and school, and building healthy connections with others. 

Several conditions can negatively affect your mental health and put your emotional and psychological well-being at risk. In some cases, the impact of these conditions is temporary and manageable with therapy and medications. However, some mental illnesses are chronic and require a lifetime of medical care.

Texas Advance Behavioral Health offers holistic mental health care for adults and adolescents with mental or emotional disorders like:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Phobias
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Mood disorders
• Substance abuse disorder 
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

The compassionate medical team also provides treatment plans for developmental conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 

When should I seek mental health treatment?

Schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Texas Advance Behavioral Health if you or your child feels overwhelmed or limited by mental health symptoms like:

• Hopelessness
• Persistent worry
• Loss of appetite
• Intrusive, negative thoughts
• Insomnia or sleeping too much
• Engaging in risky or reckless behaviors

If you’re thinking about harming yourself or others, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest hospital emergency room or call 911.

You may also benefit from a mental health evaluation if you need help coping with severe stress, sudden loss, abuse, or emotional trauma. These experiences can compromise your mental and emotional health and cause symptoms that worsen without treatment.

The medical specialists offer psychiatric evaluations in a safe, judgment-free space. They design a treatment plan to improve your mental health and emotional wellness.

How are mental health disorders treated?

Mental health treatment does not have a one-size-fits-all solution. The Texas Advance Behavioral Health team takes a whole-person, individualized approach to help you regain control over your mental health.

Based on your medical history, physical health, and the severity of your symptoms, the providers might recommend:

• Psychotherapy
• Medications
• Diet changes
• Daily exercise
• Stress reduction techniques
• Sleep hygiene improvements

If you need psychiatric medications to manage an acute or chronic mental disorder, the team offers medication management services to ensure the medicines you take are safe and effective. They also provide resources to address substance abuse issues that occur with or because of a mental illness.
