Understanding Mental Health: Overview & Resources

Mental Health Treatment Options

Mental health treatment looks different for everyone. The right treatment depends on the individual, the condition, and their support system.

Medications for Mental Health Conditions

When used correctly, medications can reduce mental health symptoms and make it easier to function day to day. They’re most effective when paired with therapy.

Common types of medications include:

• Antidepressants – Often used for depression and anxiety.
• Anti-anxiety medications – Help manage intense or chronic anxiety.
• Mood stabilizers – Used for conditions like bipolar disorder.
• Antipsychotics – Sometimes prescribed for bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Medication isn’t right for everyone, and finding the right one can take time. A psychiatrist or a doctor can help decide if medication is a good option and monitor how it’s working over time.

Genesight Testing can help you find the right medications from the start or if other medications don’t seem to be working.

Therapy and Counseling

Working with a licensed therapist can help you understand your symptoms and build healthier ways to cope.

Common types of therapy include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Helps with emotion regulation and relationships.

Innovative Therapies

When traditional treatment isn’t enough, evidence-based tools that go beyond standard care to help you feel better, faster. Innovative therapies like Spravato® ketamine therapy, TMS, EMDR trauma therapy and biofeedback.

Holistic Therapies

Holistic therapies support whole-person recovery through services like chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, art and music therapy, yoga, reiki, and more. These approaches help reduce stress, improve mood, and restore balance during and after treatment.

Peer Support

Support groups can offer connection and encouragement. These resources can be especially helpful between therapy sessions or during recovery.
