Mental/Behavioral Conditions
✔ Anger Management: Excessive anger can be a symptom of an underlying disorder and may interfere with a patient’s life and relationships. Thankfully, anger management treatment can help.
✔ Anxiety: Anxiety is a natural response to stress. Anxiety disorders, however, can lead to intense, excessive worry and panic attacks.
✔ Bipolar Disorder: These are characterized by extreme and debilitating mood swings, switching between emotional highs (mania) and lows (depression).
✔ Depression: When patients are depressed, they struggle with persistent feelings of sadness and apathy.

Addiction
✔ Alcohol: Because alcohol is both socially acceptable and readily available, it is one of the most common addictions.
✔ Drug: Drug abuse often begins as a way to self-treat other issues, but it leads to debilitating addictions and new challenges to overcome.
✔ Internet: Though apparently more benign than drugs or alcohol, compulsive Internet use or gaming is just as dangerous when it begins to interfere with a person’s life.

Developmental Conditions
✔ ADHD in adults and children: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder causes impulsivity, the inability to focus, excessive daydreaming and forgetfulness, and restless behavior.
✔ Asperger syndrome (AS): Formerly believed to be a type of autism, AS is characterized by social awkwardness and obsessive interests.
✔ Autism spectrum disorder: Patients with autism spectrum disorder face challenges with social communication, problem-solving, and resistance to change.
