Mental Health Disorders We Treat

Psychiatric symptoms rarely look the same from one person to another. Depression may appear as exhaustion or irritability, while anxiety can cause physical tension and persistent fear. An accurate diagnosis helps clinicians select therapies that address the person’s specific symptoms.

Mental health disorders treated at North Atlanta Behavioral Health include:

• Depression: Treatment addresses persistent sadness, low energy, and loss of interest in daily activities.
• Anxiety Disorders: Clinical care helps clients manage excessive worry, panic symptoms, and avoidance.
• Bipolar Disorder: Treatment supports mood stability and improved daily functioning.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Trauma-informed care helps clients process difficult experiences and manage triggers.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Therapy can reduce the disruption caused by intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
• Personality Disorders: Treatment helps clients understand persistent emotional and relationship patterns.
• Schizophrenia: Psychiatric care and therapy support symptom management and long-term stability.
• Schizoaffective Disorder: Treatment addresses psychotic symptoms alongside significant mood episodes.

Is Addiction Considered a Mental Illness?

Yes. Substance use disorders are recognized mental health conditions that affect the brain and behavior. They can make it difficult for a person to control alcohol or drug use despite serious consequences.

Addiction often occurs alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, or another psychiatric condition. North Atlanta Behavioral Health offers dual diagnosis treatment for clients experiencing both concerns. Coordinated care helps the clinical team understand how each condition may be affecting the other.
