Symptoms of Common Adult Psychiatric Disorders

Please know that suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or ADHD is not a personal weakness. Your job, education, relationships, and socioeconomic status have nothing to do with these disorders.

Depression

Depression is more than the normal, occasional feeling states of being down or blue. These are normal emotional fluctuations we experience as humans. These feelings are often based on external factors and how we process info around us. This is normal when these feelings go away in time and are just uncomfortable at most.

But, clinical depression (major depressive disorder) is not a normal emotional process. Depressed moods can be severe, causing an inability to function. The depression symptoms can cause problems with work and professional responsibilities. It can also have academic effects and can destroy intimate relationships. When untreated, some patients with major depressive disorder see their symptoms worsen. This may include not eating, losing weight, and neglecting basic care and daily living activities. In worse cases, things can become so debilitating that there is a real risk of harm to self or others. Getting an appropriate evaluation from a well-trained psychiatrist is paramount.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are severe exacerbations of worry. The most common include generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder. There are often sensations of increased heart rate, sweating, and hyperactivity. A person with an anxiety disorder is not only dealing with more worry about external events. Untreated anxiety disorders cause significant problems in all areas of one’s life. But, effective treatment is available. Untreated anxiety disorders often get worse as opposed to improving on their own. Plus, there is also a great risk of untreated anxiety disorders. They can often develop a co-occurring addiction or alcoholism disorder.

Manic Depression (Bipolar Disorder)

Bipolar disorder is a more severe psychiatric disorder. It untreated can cause major life consequences. Many adults with bipolar disorder do not even realize they have this diagnosis. Thus, they never receive a psychiatric evaluation. It is vital that someone who may have bipolar disorder get a psychiatrist’s evaluation. This disorder rarely resolves on its own. Plus, it is more likely to exacerbate over time. There is a high risk of up to 60% of those with manic depression will develop a substance abuse disorder.

ADHD & ADD

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or ADD, is too often ignored by adults. Adults often believe this disorder only occurs in teens and resolves by adulthood. But, this is not the case in over 75% of those with ADHD. This disorder is chronic and can cause significant problems in your day-to-day functioning. Treatment for adults is very effective. It often involves the use of both psychotherapy and psychiatric medications.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder. It can occur after you are exposed to a traumatic event where you either fear or experience severe physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. In fact, you can only witness such traumatic events and still develop PTSD. Even if you were never at true risk of actually being harmed. The person with PTSD often has an acute fear for their safety or even their life. PTSD can be very devastating. It is also hard to determine who may develop the symptoms after exposure to traumatic events. We do know that people who already have depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders are at an increased risk of developing PTSD. Likewise, those who develop PTSD are at very increased risk for developing these disorders.

Adult Psychiatry in New York, NY Can Ease Your Mental Health Concerns

I understand the pain you’re going through. As a psychiatrist, I’ve helped hundreds of others with depression, anxiety, manic depression, ADHD, and other psychiatric disorders. Over the last decade, there have been many advances in adult psychiatric treatment. Now, recovery is possible… and sustainable.

There is no reason to continue suffering in silence.

You shouldn’t have to feel that you need to “make” your depression or anxiety go away. Having a mental health issue as an adult is not a sign of weakness. Nor is it related to issues with one’s “moral character. These are actually bona fide disorders related to disturbances in neurotransmitters. This includes transmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. These disorders can be rapidly treated with the correct use of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. This may also involve psychotropic medications such as antidepressants and anxiety medications. You do not have to “accept” your mood disturbances anymore.
