Mental Health

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health concerns your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected. Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including:

• Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry
• Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse
• Family history of mental health problems

Mental health problems are common but Amavi is here to help.  

When should I seek mental health care?

As a human, you normally experience a range of emotions, including sadness, worry, anger, and confusion. But if you experience persistent symptoms that interfere with your quality of life and regular daily activities, it’s time to consult a specialist.   

Without treatment, mental health conditions can worsen and lead to destructive behaviors. You may experience damage to your long-term physical health and disruptions at work and in family and social relationships.

If you or a friend or family member notices the following symptoms occurring regularly and affecting your daily life, consult with a provider at Amavi:

• Pervasive sadness
• Feelings of guilt and hopelessness
• Extreme mood swings
• Confusion or memory loss
• Excessive worry and/or nervousness
• Unexplained weight changes
• Paranoia
• Loss of interest in usual activities

• Panic attacks with fast heart rate, lightheadedness, and nausea

Changes in your judgment and way of thinking also indicate you’d benefit from mental health support.
