Before seeking mental health treatment in Orange County, you need to be diagnosed with the specific mental illness you are dealing with. This will then determine the correct plan of action on how to treat it properly and get the help you need. The types of tests that might be run to determine what you have mentally going on are a physical exam, lab tests, and a psychological evaluation. When you get evaluated for a mental disorder, the doctor will ask you a series of questions about the symptoms you experience. They will use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) to define and diagnose the mental illness you’re experiencing.
When first getting diagnosed with anxiety, there are two main paths for treatment you can take, either one over the other or both together. Your therapist and doctors will work with you to figure out which type of treatment plan is best for you when starting treatment for anxiety. The two types of treatment plans we do to treat anxiety are psychotherapy and medications. Psychotherapy is talk therapy or counseling where you work with a therapist to help reduce your anxiety symptoms. One type of psychotherapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is focused on teaching you skills that can help with coping and improving your symptoms. It also helps with slowly returning you to activities you avoided due to your anxiety.
As for medications, there are so many on the market for anxiety. It all depends on how it interacts with your chemical body composition. You might have to try a few different types of medications that target anxiety since it’s probable the first one you try might not help. The types of medications used to treat anxiety are antidepressants, anti-anxiety, and for limited use possibly sedatives for extreme cases of anxiety before it’s more under control.

Group therapy is another form of treatment for someone going through mental illness. It is beneficial to hear other people struggling with a similar mental health issue and get their perspective on how they cope with it.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has a lot of flexibility in being used in other types of therapy approaches. This can be used in group therapy, couples therapy, and individual therapy. It just depends on the person going through therapy and if this type of approach is most beneficial to them.
Dialectical behavior therapy incorporates a more mindful approach in addition to the type of approach cognitive behavioral therapy has. Part of this therapeutic approach is teaching patients how to tolerate and regulate their strong emotions.
Trauma-informed care is a more holistic approach by noticing and recognizing the experiences of someone can’t be separated from the physical, emotional, and mental health. It focuses on treating symptoms of the illness and responds and treats the whole person, not just parts of the issue.
This specific type of therapy targets people who have trauma, social phobia, and despair. It relies entirely on the body’s sensory experiences. It specifically has to do with using eye movement to recall painful events in someone’s life.
Teletherapy is for someone who needs an even more flexible approach to mental health treatment. This person might not have the availability and time to come into a facility for therapy.
