To be diagnosed with MDD, these symptoms must be present most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, and they must cause significant impairment in daily functioning.

MDD is diagnosed based on established criteria in medical guidelines, and treatment typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments.

Bipolar Spectrum Disorder (BSD) refers to a range of mood disorders characterized by fluctuating periods of elevated mood (mania or hypomania) and depressive episodes. These mood disturbances vary in severity and duration, impacting daily functioning and quality of life.

BSD includes conditions such as Bipolar I Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder, and Cyclothymic Disorder, each defined by different patterns of mood instability. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, considering the frequency, intensity, and impact of mood episodes. Treatment often involves mood stabilizers, psychotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments to help manage symptoms and maintain stability.

Primary or Secondary Insomnia refers to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, leading to impaired daytime functioning.

Primary Insomnia occurs independently, without an underlying medical, psychiatric, or environmental cause. It is often linked to stress, poor sleep habits, or an overactive mind.

Secondary Insomnia is a symptom of another condition, such as depression, anxiety, chronic pain, or medication use.

Diagnosis involves assessing sleep patterns and underlying factors. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), lifestyle changes, and addressing any contributing medical or psychological conditions.

Maternal mental health refers to a mother’s emotional and psychological well-being before, during, and after pregnancy. It encompasses conditions such as prenatal anxiety and depression, postpartum depression (PPD), and postpartum psychosis.

Hormonal changes, lifestyle adjustments, and social factors contribute to mental health challenges during this period. Left untreated, these conditions can affect both the mother and child’s well-being.
Diagnosis involves screening for mood and anxiety disorders, while treatment may include therapy, medication (when appropriate), and social support. Early intervention is crucial for promoting maternal and infant health.

Learn More About Maternal Mental Health

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition characterized by excessive, persistent worry and anxiety about various aspects of daily life. This worry is difficult to control and occurs more days than not for at least six months.

Common symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. Unlike situational anxiety, GAD is chronic and not tied to a specific stressor.

Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, and treatment typically includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medication such as SSRIs or SNRIs, and lifestyle modifications to help manage symptoms.

Learn More About Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Panic Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, unexpected panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear that peak within minutes. These attacks are often accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, and a sense of impending doom.
Individuals with panic disorder frequently worry about future attacks and may change their behavior to avoid triggers, leading to significant distress and impairment.

Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, and treatment typically includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medication such as SSRIs or benzodiazepines, and relaxation techniques to help manage symptoms.

Learn More About Panic Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety. These obsessions and compulsions can interfere with daily life and cause significant distress.
Common obsessions include fears of contamination, unwanted aggressive thoughts, or concerns about symmetry. Compulsions may involve excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or repeating actions.

Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, and treatment often includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), along with medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Learn More About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Performance anxiety, also known as stage fright, is the intense fear or nervousness experienced before or during activities that require public performance, such as speaking, sports, or artistic presentations. Symptoms include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and difficulty concentrating.
Test anxiety is a specific type of performance anxiety that occurs before or during exams. It can lead to excessive worry, difficulty recalling information, and physical symptoms like nausea or headaches, negatively impacting performance.

Both conditions are treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and, in some cases, medication to manage symptoms.

Learn More About Performance Anxiety

Social anxiety, also known as social anxiety disorder (SAD), is a mental health condition characterized by an intense fear of social situations where one may be judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. This fear can lead to avoidance of social interactions, difficulty speaking in public, and distress in everyday activities such as meeting new people or eating in front of others.

Symptoms include excessive self-consciousness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and difficulty making eye contact.
Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, and treatment often includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, social skills training, and medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or beta-blockers for situational anxiety.

Specific phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by an intense, irrational fear of a particular object, situation, or activity that poses little to no actual danger. Common examples include fear of flying (aviophobia), fear of driving, fear of bridges, fear of heights (acrophobia), and many others.

Exposure to the feared object or situation can trigger immediate anxiety, panic, or avoidance behaviors, which can interfere with daily life.

Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, and treatment often includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure therapy, desensitization techniques, and, in some cases, medication to manage acute anxiety symptoms.

Learn More About Specific Phobia

Germaphobia, also known as mysophobia, is an excessive fear of germs, contamination, or infection. People with germaphobia often engage in compulsive behaviors such as frequent handwashing, excessive cleaning, or avoiding public places and physical contact to prevent perceived contamination.

This fear can cause significant distress and interfere with daily life, leading to avoidance behaviors and heightened anxiety in situations perceived as unclean. In severe cases, it may overlap with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), particularly contamination-related obsessions and compulsions.

Diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation, and treatment typically includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), along with relaxation techniques and, in some cases, medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to manage anxiety.

Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern in which individuals doubt their accomplishments and fear being exposed as a fraud, despite evident success. It is commonly experienced by high-achieving individuals who struggle to internalize their achievements, attributing them to luck or external factors rather than their own abilities.

Symptoms include persistent self-doubt, fear of failure, overworking to prove worth, and difficulty accepting praise. It can lead to anxiety, stress, and burnout.

Treatment involves cognitive reframing, building self-awareness, therapy (such as cognitive behavioral therapy), and developing a habit of recognizing and celebrating personal achievements.

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by an intense fear of situations where escape might be difficult or help may not be available in the event of a panic attack or distressing symptoms. This fear often leads to avoidance of places such as crowded areas, public transportation, open spaces, or even leaving home.

Symptoms include panic attacks, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and extreme discomfort in feared situations. In severe cases, individuals may become housebound.

Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, and treatment typically includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), gradual exposure therapy, relaxation techniques, and, in some cases, medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or anti-anxiety medications.

Caregiver and work stress refers to the physical, emotional, and mental strain experienced by individuals balancing caregiving responsibilities or demanding job roles.

Caregiver stress arises from providing long-term care for a loved one, leading to exhaustion, guilt, anxiety, and burnout. Common stressors include emotional strain, financial burdens, and lack of personal time.

Work stress results from excessive workload, tight deadlines, job insecurity, or workplace conflicts. It can lead to anxiety, burnout, reduced productivity, and health issues.
Both forms of stress can be managed through self-care, setting boundaries, seeking support, stress management techniques, and, in some cases, professional counseling or therapy.

Learn More About Caregiver and/or Work Stress

New onset or prolonged grief refers to the emotional response to loss, with variations in duration and intensity.

New onset grief occurs shortly after a loss and involves feelings of sadness, longing, disbelief, and emotional pain. It is a natural response and typically eases over time as individuals adjust.

Prolonged grief disorder (PGD), also known as complicated grief, is characterized by intense, persistent grief lasting more than a year (or six months in children) that interferes with daily functioning. Symptoms include overwhelming sadness, difficulty accepting the loss, emotional numbness, and withdrawal from social activities.

Diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation, and treatment may include grief counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), support groups, and, in some cases, medication for coexisting conditions like depression or anxiety.

Phase of life issues refer to the psychological, emotional, and social challenges individuals face during major life transitions. These challenges vary across different age groups, influencing identity, relationships, career, and mental well-being.

Millennials (Born 1981-1996) often struggle with career instability, financial stress, work-life balance, and delayed milestones such as homeownership or starting a family. Social comparison and digital burnout also contribute to anxiety and depression.

Gen Z (Born 1997-2012) faces challenges related to identity formation, academic and career pressures, social media influence, and uncertainty about the future. Increased awareness of mental health has led to higher engagement with therapy but also greater struggles with anxiety and loneliness.

Retirement population experiences transitions such as identity shifts after leaving the workforce, financial concerns, health-related changes, and social isolation. Adjusting to a new routine and finding purpose in later life can be critical for emotional well-being.
Managing phase of life issues often involves therapy, mindfulness practices, career counseling, financial planning, and social support networks to ease transitions and foster resilience.

Learn More About Phase of Life Issues

Major life event issues refer to the emotional, psychological, and social challenges that arise from significant changes or transitions in life. These events can be positive or negative but often require adjustment and can impact mental well-being.

Childbirth or parenting – Managing new responsibilities, sleep deprivation, and relationship shifts.

Job loss or career change – Financial stress, identity shifts, and uncertainty about the future.

Relocation – Adapting to a new environment, social circles, and lifestyle.

Culture shock syndrome is the emotional and psychological stress experienced when adapting to a new cultural environment. It often begins with excitement but can lead to frustration, confusion, and homesickness as individuals struggle with language barriers, social norms, and unfamiliar customs. Over time, with exposure and adjustment, feelings of discomfort typically ease, leading to a sense of acceptance and cultural integration. Coping strategies include seeking social support, maintaining familiar routines, and gradually embracing the new culture. Counseling and cultural orientation programs can also help ease the transition.

Adjustment disorder is a mental health condition that occurs in response to a significant life change or stressful event, leading to emotional and behavioral symptoms that interfere with daily life. Individuals may experience excessive stress, anxiety, sadness, or difficulty coping beyond what is typically expected for the situation. Symptoms often begin within three months of the triggering event and can include withdrawal, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep or appetite.

While the condition is temporary, it can significantly impact well-being. Treatment typically involves therapy, stress management techniques, and, in some cases, medication to help manage symptoms and improve coping skills.

Insomnia can be short-term, triggered by stress or life changes, or chronic, lasting for months and linked to medical, psychological, or lifestyle factors. Treatment includes improving sleep habits, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), relaxation techniques, and, in some cases, medication to regulate sleep patterns.

LGBTQIA+ refers to individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, or other diverse gender and sexual identities. Mental health challenges in this community can stem from discrimination, stigma, social rejection, and lack of acceptance, leading to higher risks of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation.

Supportive environments, affirming therapy, and strong social networks are crucial in fostering well-being. Access to culturally competent mental health care, advocacy for equal rights, and inclusive policies help reduce disparities and promote mental and emotional resilience.

Cross-cultural psychiatry is a field that examines how cultural factors influence the diagnosis, treatment, and experience of mental health conditions. Cultural background shapes how individuals express symptoms, seek help, and respond to therapy, making culturally competent care essential for effective treatment.

Differences in beliefs about mental health, stigma, language barriers, and access to care can impact diagnosis and treatment outcomes. Integrating culturally sensitive approaches, including language support, traditional healing practices, and tailored therapy, helps improve mental health outcomes across diverse populations.

Biological factors, such as brain damage from a stroke, and psychological factors, including fear of recurrence and lifestyle changes, contribute to these conditions. Symptoms may include mood disturbances, irritability, sleep problems, and difficulty concentrating.

Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and rehabilitation support to improve mental and physical health outcomes. Early intervention and social support play a key role in recovery.

Medical conditions induced psychiatric conditions occur when chronic illnesses, neurological disorders, or infections lead to mental health challenges. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, HIV, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other chronic or autoimmune diseases can trigger mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, or cognitive impairments.
These psychiatric symptoms may result from the disease itself, medication side effects, or the emotional toll of living with a chronic illness. Common symptoms include depression, anxiety, mood swings, cognitive decline, and, in some cases, psychotic symptoms.

Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and support groups to address both the medical and psychological aspects of the condition.

Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FND), also known as Conversion Disorder, is a condition where neurological symptoms—such as psychogenic seizures, selective mutism, paralysis, tremors, or sensory disturbances—occur without a clear medical explanation. These symptoms are real and often linked to psychological stress or trauma rather than structural brain damage.

Individuals with FND may experience sudden, involuntary physical symptoms that disrupt daily life. Diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation, ruling out other neurological conditions. Treatment typically involves psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), physical rehabilitation, and stress management to address underlying psychological factors and improve symptom management.

Learn More About Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder

Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) is a mental health condition characterized by excessive focus on physical symptoms—such as pain, fatigue, or gastrointestinal issues—that cause significant distress or interfere with daily life. These symptoms may or may not have a clear medical explanation, but the individual’s preoccupation with them leads to persistent anxiety and functional impairment.

People with SSD often seek frequent medical care, worry excessively about their health, and struggle to be reassured by normal test results. Treatment typically involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), stress management, and, in some cases, medication to address coexisting anxiety or depression. A holistic approach, including supportive medical care, helps manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Empty Nest Syndrome is a psychological condition characterized by feelings of sadness, loneliness, or loss that parents experience when their children leave home. This transition can lead to emotional distress, identity shifts, and, in some cases, anxiety or depression.

While it is not a clinical disorder, it can impact well-being, particularly for parents who strongly identify with their caregiving role. Coping strategies include rediscovering personal interests, strengthening social connections, setting new goals, and seeking support through therapy or peer groups to adjust to this life transition.
