Learn About the Conditions We Support

A group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent feelings of fear, worry, or nervousness that are disproportionate to the actual situation and interfere with daily functioning. Unlike occasional anxiety, which is a normal response to stress, anxiety disorders are chronic and can manifest in various forms, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias.

A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development. It often begins in childhood and can continue into adolescence and adulthood.

A neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges with social interaction, communication, and repetitive or restricted behaviors. It is referred to as a "spectrum" because its symptoms and their severity vary widely among individuals, ranging from subtle difficulties to significant impairments in daily functioning. Common signs include difficulty understanding social cues, forming relationships, or expressing emotions, alongside a preference for routines, intense focus on specific interests, and sensitivity to sensory stimuli.

A mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts can impact energy, behavior, and daily life. There are several types, including Bipolar I, which involves full manic episodes often followed by depression; Bipolar II, which includes less intense hypomanic episodes with depression; and Cyclothymia, marked by frequent, milder mood swings over time.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as an accident, natural disaster, violence, or combat. People with PTSD may have flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, or intrusive thoughts related to the event. These symptoms can interfere with daily life and relationships, but with proper treatment—including therapy, medication, and support—many individuals find relief and healing.

A mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of intense, uncontrollable anger that are disproportionate to the situation. These episodes can involve verbal outbursts, physical aggression, or destructive behavior, often occurring with little to no provocation. Individuals with this disorder may feel a rapid build-up of tension, followed by explosive reactions, and often experience guilt or remorse afterward.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common mental health condition that involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety. These patterns can become overwhelming and interfere with daily life, work, or relationships. With proper treatment—such as cognitive behavioral therapy and, in some cases, medication—individuals with OCD can find relief and regain control.

Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health condition that combines symptoms of schizophrenia—such as hallucinations or delusions—with mood disorder symptoms like depression or mania. These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, often impacting thinking, emotions, and daily functioning. With proper treatment, including therapy, medication, and ongoing support, individuals with schizoaffective disorder can manage symptoms and lead meaningful, stable lives.

Dementia is a group of conditions that cause a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills severe enough to interfere with daily life. It is most common in older adults and can affect mood, behavior, and the ability to communicate. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type. While there is no cure, early diagnosis, treatment, and support can help improve quality of life and slow progression.
