What Is Mental Health and Why Is It Important?

Mental health encompasses your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how you think, feel, and behave, and also influences how you handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Good mental health is essential for coping with life’s challenges, maintaining relationships, and performing daily activities.

At DeNova, we understand that mental health is affected by multiple factors including genetics, environment, trauma, lifestyle, and physical health. Our holistic, patient-centered approach ensures that we address all aspects of your well-being—emotional, cognitive, and physical—to promote true healing.

 

Signs You May Need Mental Health Support

Mental health concerns can develop gradually or emerge after a stressful event. Some common signs that you might benefit from professional care include:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness

• Excessive worry, fear, or anxiety that interferes with daily life

• Sudden or severe mood swings and irritability

• Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions

• Changes in sleep patterns—sleeping too much or too little

• Loss of interest or pleasure in previously enjoyed activities

• Social withdrawal or isolation from friends and family

• Unexplained physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches

• Substance misuse or cravings for drugs or alcohol

• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

If you experience any of these symptoms, especially if they persist or worsen, seeking early treatment is key to improving outcomes.

 

Comprehensive Mental Health Services at DeNova

Our multidisciplinary team provides a full spectrum of mental health services designed to meet your unique needs:

Psychiatric Evaluations & Diagnosis

We begin with a thorough assessment by a licensed psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. This includes a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors to develop an accurate diagnosis and customized treatment plan.

Individual & Group Therapy

Our licensed therapists offer evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and more. Group therapy sessions provide peer support and foster connection among individuals facing similar challenges.

Medication Management

For many mental health conditions, medication can be an important part of treatment. Our psychiatric providers carefully monitor and adjust medications for conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD to maximize benefits and minimize side effects.

Mental health disorders and substance use often co-occur. We specialize in treating both simultaneously to ensure integrated, effective recovery from addiction while addressing underlying mental health issues.
