WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!

When it comes to mental health problems, there are some that are very common. The following is an alphabetical list of issues and mental health conditions that can be treated successfully through Santum online therapy.

Addictions:

There are a number of addiction types one can experience, though the most commonly reported and treated are for substance and sex addiction. An online counselor can offer support and help you target the source of your dependency, and apply a specialized program and series of steps that will help you recover and overcome your addiction. Additionally, they can make sure you are following through with your regime, and help you manage any side effects.

Anger:

Anger issues are punctuated by an inability to control one’s temper in heated situations, resulting in ultimately harmful discourse. Anger management is a necessary skill for coping with personal and professional issues, and those with difficulty controlling their reactions in a socially acceptable manner may need the guidance of a licensed counselor, who can help them process external and internal events safely and effectively.

Anxiety:

Anxiety is a common factor of adult life, and can manifest itself in feelings of self-doubt, paranoia, nervousness, and social dread. Many who suffer from anxiety experience frequent fatigue, panic attacks, difficulty sleeping, and irritability. Anxiety is often linked with depression, as well as prior trauma. Anxiety related to life changes is also commonly reported.

Bipolar:

Bipolar disorder refers to periods marked by either extreme highs (feeling energized and optimistic) or extreme lows (depression, feelings of worthlessness, and thoughts of suicide). As many who suffer from bipolar disorder only seek help during low periods, bipolar depression is often misdiagnosed or undetected altogether.

Career:

Our chosen as well as desired careers account for much of our quality of life, and finding the right career path is essential to leading a purposeful existence. A trained online career counselor can help you determine where your talents and interests lie, and assist you in turning them into a fulfilling career.

Chronic Impulsivity:

Those with a lack of impulse control struggle with self-regulation, resulting in “act before thinking” tendencies. Compelled by risky behavior, those with chronic impulsivity often exhibit symptoms similar to ADHD and OCD. Hyperactivity, frequent boredom, aggression, impatience, and difficulty in maintaining lasting relationships are all common symptoms of chronic impulsivity.

Conflict:

Conflict resolution skills are vital to leading a healthy and productive adult life. Learning to approach and resolve conflicts at home and in the work space, particularly if one struggles with anger management, can be achieved with the help of a counselor who is trained and experienced in areas of human resource.

Depression:

Many adults experience at least one depressive episode a year however depression goes largely unreported by those who suffer from it. Symptoms include but are not limited to an inability to sleep or feel motivated to accomplish daily tasks, feelings of guilt and incompetence, loss or increase of appetite, lack of interest in hobbies and social events, and thoughts of suicide.

Eating:

An eating disorder can include anorexia, bulimia, chronic binge eating or overeating. Eating disorders often stem from psychological trauma, and are closely linked to depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It is important to establish a healthy relationship with food, and an online counselor can help pinpoint the root cause of the disorder and eliminate it.

Educational Assessments:

Educational assessments can be made to identify a number of internal learning obstacles that may be hindering adults and children alike. These can include autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and area-specific difficulties. Learning disabilities can stunt one’s school and work progress, making it difficult to accomplish tasks at designated levels and getting in the way of potential success.

Family:

Family counseling is a healthy and normal approach to addressing and resolving conflicts within families, due to both internal and external issues including grief, absence, estrangement, substance abuse, or divorce. No family is perfect, and speaking with a counselor can help repair and strengthen even the most compromised familial foundation.

Self-Esteem:

Low self-esteem can affect every aspect of one’s life, resulting in missed opportunities, uncomfortable social gatherings, and dysfunctional relationships. Often the result of prior abuse or traumatic events, low self-esteem is often accompanied by anxiety, depression, and compulsive behavior.

Grief:

The death of a loved one can leave a lasting impact, and many times the pain prevents one from embracing a healthy life and engaging with the wider world. While the emotional strain of grief is well-known, there can also be physical symptoms including loss or increase in appetite, inability to sleep or focus on tasks at hand, panic attacks, and chronic pain.

Health Issues:

Our physical and mental health play the largest role in our quality of life, and sometimes we need extra help in meeting and maintaining our goals in matters of nutrition, recovery, fitness, or body image. A trained and trustworthy counselor can provide assessment and diagnosis of your health-related concerns, and provide you with the tools to establish a rewarding relationship with your body and mind.

Intimacy:

Intimacy is our ability to trust and open ourselves, sexually, mentally, and emotionally, within a relationship. Those who struggle with intimacy may have difficulty in practicing a healthy and fulfilling sex life, or trusting a partner with their health and wellness. Often intimacy issues stem from a previous trauma.

Isolation:

This includes quarantine and incarceration. We are not meant to be confined for long periods to closed spaces like hotel rooms, cells, apartments or even our houses. Feelings of depression, anxiety or helplessness can develop. Talking to online therapist can help in reassurance and finding ways to cope with solitude and lonesomeness.

LGBTQ:

For those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (with an additional “Q” occasionally added for ‘questioning’ ) and are either experiencing social, professional, or familial difficulties, speaking with a counselor may be of significant help and comfort. Because sexual acceptance and practicing a healthy lifestyle are crucial to a safe and fulfilling life, online therapy can provide a supportive foundation for discovering and establishing one’s identity.

Life Transitions:

Life is full of transitional periods regarding one’s work, physical location, or changes in one’s relationship. While life transitions can often mark a time of celebration, they can also be enormously challenging. Stress-related anxiety, doubt, and feelings of loss of control are common factors of transitional difficulties. An online counselor can help you address the root cause of your anxiety, and work towards a positive set of goals and expectations.

Parenting:

Parenting is perhaps the hardest job in the world, no matter the stage of your child’s development. Sometimes parents need extra help when navigating their relationship with their child or children, whether it’s an outside problem or internal issue. Behavioral issues or trauma on the part of the child, divorce, or various life transitions can all test one’s parenting skills, making it necessary to seek professional help and guidance.

Relationships:

Even the healthiest relationship can hit a rough patch, no matter how long you’ve been with your partner. Relationship or couples counseling is a proactive way to address concerns that may arise, as well as issues regarding fidelity, intimacy, and mental health matters, while receiving constructive guidance from an impartial third party.

Religion:

A crisis of faith can happen to anyone, and those experiencing a spiritual dilemma will find comfort and critical guidance with the help of a therapist specializing in faith-based counseling. Regardless of the religion you practice, coming to a crossroads in your spiritual life can be a disheartening but perfectly natural occurrence.

Sleeping:

Sleep disorders are rarely incidental, and are often due to an underlying issue such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or substance abuse. Those with sleep disorders report irregular sleep-wake cycles, insomnia, and periods of prolonged sleep.

Social Behavior:

Our social behavior understandably determines the quality of our social lives: the people we meet, befriend, work with, and even form relationships with. Problematic social behavior, often the result of low self-esteem, anxiety, compulsive disorders, or a more serious mental issue, can have devastating long term effects if not properly addressed.

Stress:

Stress is a common factor of life, but if not properly managed can lead to a number of serious and potentially fatal conditions. Work-related stress accounts for much of the extreme duress felt by many, with 2018 seeing a spike in stress related to political anxiety.

Substance Abuse:

Drug and alcohol abuse have reportedly cost countries billions annually in relation to crime, health expenses, and work productivity. Substance abuse can pertain to the illicit or destructive consumption of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, and can often require both psychological and medical treatment to overcome. Contrary to many stigmas, substance abuse can happen to anyone. It can affect anyone from all walks of life.

Trauma:

Abuse-related trauma can carry on well into adulthood, and result in a number of symptoms that, if left unaddressed, can build in severity. Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, and destructive behavior are just some of the issues that can stem from prior abuse. It is important to address and overcome abuse-related trauma in order to lead a healthy and productive existence.
