Mental Health
What are the most common mental health concerns today?
There are hundreds of different specific mental illnesses, but anxiety and depressive disorders are among the most common in the world.
Anxiety disorders
Anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder can trigger symptoms like persistent and oppressive worry, being on-edge, concentration problems, and sleeplessness. In some anxiety disorders, like panic disorder, the anxiety could be so bad that it causes chest pain, heart palpitations, and other frightening symptoms.
Depressive disorders
Depressive disorders such as major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and seasonal affective disorder can cause symptoms like loss of interest in your life, powerful feelings of hopelessness, irritability, morbid thoughts, withdrawing from your loved ones, lethargy, sleep changes, and weight changes.
There are also many other mental health disorders that can cause depression, anxiety, and similar symptoms. Dr. Gogu can perform a basic psychological screening and discuss your concerns and issues with you to determine the next step if you need help.
