WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

Depression is a medical condition causing a person to experience extreme sadness or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities. Depression affects an individual’s day-to-day functioning. Most people with depression benefit from treatment involving a combination of psychotherapy and medication, but determining the right combination takes time. Depression can result from many potential causes. Common risk factors that play a role in the illness include genetics, trauma, family history of depression, isolation, and other health problems.

Diagnosing depression starts with assessing the client’s mood, behavior, goals, and medical history. A person with diagnosed depression will exhibit five or more symptoms listed in the DSM for at least two weeks, with one of the signs being a sad mood or loss of pleasure.

Symptoms of depression may include the following:

  • Sadness
  • Loss of enjoyment in favored activities
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Altered sleep patterns
  • Low self-esteem
  • Lethargy
  • Difficulty focusing
  • Suicidal ideations or preoccupation with death
  • Physical ailments

Our depression treatment center in Portland, Oregon can help you or a loved one. Don’t wait to seek professional help for any mental health concerns.

What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar is a mood disorder characterized by manic or hypomanic episodes, which may alternate with bouts of depression. A manic episode is an emotional state characterized by elevated activity, language, and optimism. Hypomania is typically described as a mood or energy state elevated somewhat above the normal range. Each episode normally lasts anywhere from hours or days to months at a time.

Bipolar disorder can cause significant disruptions in a person’s life functioning; however, the illness can often be managed when the therapist has experience treating people with bipolar. At Crestview Recovery, our bipolar treatment specialists have years of experience working with individuals who are struggling with bipolar disorder. Whether it is co-occurring with addiction or the client’s primary concern, we are here to help.

BIPOLAR I

Those with bipolar I have at least one manic or mixed episode. These episodes include:

  • Euphoria and increased energy
  • Insomnia
  • Impulsivity
  • Sudden overconfidence
  • Racing thoughts and rapid speech
  • Increased spending
  • Increased sex drive

BIPOLAR II

Bipolar II involves a state of hypomania (less extreme than a full manic episode) with fluctuating states of depression.

CYCLOTHYMIA

Cyclothymia is characterized by rhythms of mild depression and hypomania. The symptoms of depression episodes may include:

  • Sadness
  • Loss of interest
  • Low self-esteem
  • Slowed speech and difficulty concentrating
  • Lethargy
  • Suicidal ideation and preoccupation with death or dying

MOOD DISORDERS AND ADDICTION

Dual diagnosis indicates the presence of a chemical dependency in addition to another psychiatric illness, often a mood disorder. It can be challenging to determine which disorder began first; however, both pose a risk to the other. In other words, a mood disorder could lead a person to self-medicate or use a psychoactive substance as a means of temporarily alleviating physical or emotional distress. Similarly, a person’s abuse of alcohol or other drugs could trigger the onset of a mental health disorder. Both disorders must be treated simultaneously with a therapist for treatment to be effective.

LEVELS OF OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH CARE

If you are new to the behavioral healthcare world, we understand that it can be difficult to figure out exactly what kind of treatment program you need. Inpatient mental healthcare, also known as a residential treatment program, involves 24/7 care in a treatment facility. Partial hospitalization is a step down from inpatient care and involves both medical and psychiatric care. Outpatient mental health and psychiatric care involve daytime mental health programs.

Our outpatient programs at Crestview are designed for people in stable home environments who need assistance with their mental health. We offer the following levels of mental healthcare at Crestview:

  • Partial hospitalization
  • Intensive Outpatient
  • Outpatient mental healthcare

Having an undiagnosed or untreated mental health concern often causes people to withdraw from the social circumstances that aid healing. Recovering in an outpatient mental health setting allows clients to develop an extensive network of family and friends to support their recovery. Clients participating in an intensive outpatient rehab program continue to attend work or school live in their own homes, and attend mental health therapy during the day.

WHAT IS DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT?

Dual diagnosis treatment is designed for people who are struggling with a mental health concern along with substance use disorder. Our dual diagnosis program in Portland, Oregon is separate from our primary mental health treatment programs and assists clients with skills such as:

  • Processing trauma
  • Medication management
  • Conflict resolution
  • Managing anxiety
  • Moving through depression
  • Balancing moods
  • Developing self-awareness
  • Building positive relationships

Our mental health treatment programs at Crestview provide education, support, and comfort to our clients throughout the treatment process. Our holistic approach to treatment helps clients find sanctuary from mental illness in a safe environment.
