24-Hour Help for Substance Abuse, Problem Gambling & Mental Health
Mental disorders are health conditions involving changes in thinking, mood or behavior (or a combination of these). While we all experience these types of changes each day, what follows these conditions are varying levels of impairment in functioning. Often times, acute impairment can be triggered by distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities. It’s these levels of impairment that are evaluated with a professional to determine an appropriate level of care. A mental health evaluation will consider multiple aspects of a person’s life including medical, mental health history, substance use history, and tools to help assess cognitive levels of functioning.

With the help of counseling, peer support and sometimes medication (not always), the vast majority of individuals living with a mental health diagnosis continue to function in their daily lives.
