Mental Health Stabilization
When to Seek Help
Most people who pursue treatment for a mental health issue do so when their symptoms begin to intrude into their normal daily lives, causing significant impairment in daily functioning. A professional mental health provider, such as the psychiatrist or psychotherapist should be consulted in order to be formally evaluated, and also to exclude any possible medical condition that may be causing the symptoms. Early interventions are sought when an individual is struggling with depression symptoms, anxiety, or mood swings, and in most cases these can be managed satisfactorily through outpatient providers. However, if the condition worsens, further disrupting normal functioning, a determination may be made that a higher level of care is appropriate.
Some signs that an individual may benefit from a higher level of care include:
- The disorder may be now causing physical health problems
- The disorder is causing acting out, or disruptive behavior
- The disorder is causing serious interpersonal problems
- The individual is increasingly engaging in self-harming behaviors
- The disorder is leading to violent acts that threaten the well-being of others
- The individual may be having suicidal thoughts
If you or a loved one is grappling with a difficult emotional condition that is causing distress and impairment in daily life, seeking the guidance of a mental health profession offers hope for relief.

What to Expect in Treatment
How Are Mental Health Disorders Treated?
Mental health treatment can be provided through a variety of levels of care. These range from services provided by a private psychiatric practice, to an outpatient program, to day treatment to residential or inpatient care. Treatment involves integrated therapeutic approaches that are combined as needed for a patient’s particular mental health condition and needs. These treatment elements include:
- Individual psychotherapy: One-on-one sessions with a psychotherapist provide a safe, confidential space for patients to explore the issues that may be contributing factors for the resulting mental health disorder.
- Group therapy: Patients often benefit from sharing their experiences and challenges with others who also struggle with a mental health disorder. These small groups are facilitated by a therapist.
- Family therapy: Family therapy sessions benefit both the patient and the family members as they share how the loved one’s mental health disorder has impacted the family, and strive to improve interaction and communication through therapy.
- Medication management: In many cases, medications can be prescribed to help manage and mitigate the symptoms of the disorder, such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, mood-stabilizers, and anti-psychotic drugs.
- Experiential or holistic therapies: To further enhance the effects of the traditional therapies, experiential activities such as mindfulness meditation, yoga classes, art and music therapy, and deep-breathing techniques, are often included in the treatment plan.
- Recreation and fitness: Exercise offers both psychological and physical benefits and is often integrated into the treatment planning. These activities might include swimming, participation in sports, exercise classes, hiking or walking.
