What is mental health?

Your mental health is of high importance, just like your physical health. If your emotions and thought processes have a strong impact on the way you behave or feel about yourself, then it’s time to consider a mental health evaluation. 

Dr. Nabelsi assesses your mental health with detailed questions about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. During a mental health visit at Sameh Nabelsi, MD, you can bring up concerns such as:

• Declining performance at work or school
• Too much stress
• Ongoing sadness and other low moods
• Fear or worry
• Substance use
• Trouble sleeping

All of these and other changes in how you think or behave could indicate an underlying mental health condition. Fortunately, most are treatable with supportive and individualized care. 

Which conditions can impact my mental health?

Dr. Nabelsi, provides care for common mental health disorders that can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Two of the most prevalent diagnoses are:

Depression

Depression causes persistent low moods and a lack of motivation. You may lose interest in the topics and activities you normally find most enjoyable. Some of the most common depression symptoms are hopelessness, irritability, fatigue, and sleep or appetite changes. 

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders cause you to feel fearful or worrisome often, sometimes without a clear cause. There are many types of anxiety disorders, and their symptoms include muscle tension, a sense of doom, gastrointestinal issues, and insomnia. 

How can I manage my mental health?

Dr. Nabelsi provides individualized care to help you manage symptoms of a mental health disorder and feel better on a daily basis. With routine follow-ups and assessments, he makes sure your care plan always meets your needs. 

Many people with anxiety or depression benefit from taking psychiatric medications, which alter the way the chemicals interact inside the brain. Not everyone requires medications to manage their depression and anxiety, but many do. 

Dr. Nabelsi may also recommend psychiatric care in the form of therapy or counseling. Additionally, he can help you identify healthy stress-management strategies and adopt healthy habits like exercise.
