Achieve Mental Health
Mental health conditions affect more than 1 in 5 adults in the United States annually. Poor mental wellness affects everyday quality of life causing impaired memory, judgement, and emotional regulation. Depression or anxiety can disrupt eating habits leading to overeating or undereating. Stress hormones such as cortisol may contribute to weight gain. Attention, motivation, and productivity are directly impacted, especially in those with ADHD.
Symptoms may include
- Sadness
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Loss of interest in doing things
- Anxiety
- Low motivation
- Memory issues or inability to focus
Treatment of mental health conditions includes medication management, laboratory workup with regular follow ups to monitor how well the medication is working or if any adjustments need to be made to ensure a therapeutic response. Genetic testing may also be considered to best choose the appropriate medication for you.
