Treatment for a wide range of problems
In the midst of a family or personal crisis, the need for professional assistance may be obvious. At other times, continued difficulty in functioning at work, home or school may require careful assessment and treatment. Specialists in the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology treat a wide range of symptoms and problems, including:
- High levels of stress, including work-related stress and stress caused by other factors
- Changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping, loss of interest in pleasurable activities and other symptoms of depression
- Chronic, high levels of worry and anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Avoidance of social situations and difficulty leaving the house
- Preoccupation with cleanliness
- Overly strict rules and rituals that interfere with daily functioning, such as hand washing and counting
- Intrusive thoughts and worries
- Hearing or seeing things other people don’t hear or see
- Problems with weight management, including those related to maintenance of healthy eating habits, binging and self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise and severely restricted food intake
- Attention difficulties in children and adults
- Problem behaviors in children such as poor school performance, angry outbursts and overly high energy
- Chronic pain that can’t be controlled
- Inability to stop smoking
- Drug and alcohol use that interferes with family and social life, work, school, personal health, emotional stability; or that has led to problems with the legal system
- Couple, family or relationship conflict
- Chronic disorganization and chaos in daily life
- Physical symptoms not linked to a diagnosed illness
- Uncontrolled anger
- Suicidal thoughts or plans
- Sexual problems
- Life transition reactions
In all these cases, our highly trained psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, clinical social workers, chemical dependency counselors and registered nurses are available to offer comprehensive assessment and treatment.
