Depression is a condition where someone feels persistently sad, hopeless, or numb, often for no clear reason. It can make even simple tasks feel incredibly difficult. It affects both the mind and the body, and can lead to changes in sleep, appetite, energy levels, and even physical pain.
Anxiety is a natural and normal response to stress or danger. It’s the feeling of being worried, nervous, or on edge. In small doses, anxiety can actually be helpful—it can alert us to potential dangers and help us stay focused or motivated. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming or constant, it can interfere with daily life and cause distress.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person focuses, organizes, and manages tasks. It’s not about being lazy or not trying hard enough—ADHD is a result of differences in brain structure and chemistry that impact attention, impulse control, and activity levels.
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that involves extreme mood swings, which can include emotional highs (called mania or hypomania) and lows (called depression). These mood swings aren’t just temporary shifts in mood—they can last for days, weeks, or even months, and they can deeply impact your thoughts, behaviors, and overall functioning.
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions that involve patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that can be very different from what’s considered typical or expected. These patterns usually develop over time and can be deeply ingrained, often affecting the way someone interacts with others and perceives themselves and the world around them.
The key characteristic of a personality disorder is that these patterns are persistent and inflexible, which means they can cause ongoing problems in relationships, work, and general functioning.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after someone experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. It’s important to know that PTSD is a normal response to abnormal events—it's your mind and body’s way of reacting to something deeply distressing, like violence, accidents, combat, abuse, or natural disasters.
