Mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health. Conditions like depression and anxiety can disrupt more than just sleep—they affect overall life quality. At Palm Beach Health Center, we provide holistic approach for these conditions to help patients restore balance without relying on potentially harmful medications.
WHAT IS DEPRESSION?
Depression is more than occasional sadness; it’s a condition marked by persistent low mood, lack of energy, feelings of worthlessness, and other symptoms like drastic weight fluctuations and sleep disturbances. If these feelings persist and worsen, it may indicate depression. Symptoms vary among individuals, but common signs include pessimism, fatigue, and thoughts of death
- Lack of energy
- Feeling worthless
- Pessimistic viewpoint
- Inability to sleep
- Thoughts of death and suicide
- Drastic weight fluctuation
WHAT IS ANXIETY?
To fully understand the anxiety, you’ll need to know the body’s response to stress. Stress manifests in many ways, an upcoming test, running late to work, or a sudden text reading “we need to talk.” While it’s normal to experience fear, worry, and uneasiness from time to time, the persistence of these emotions is a sign of anxiety. Over time, incessantly feeling these emotions can wear a person down. Anxiety-related complications include poor coping skills, clouding thinking, and situation-specific phobias.
CAUSES OF ANXIETY
- Family genetics
- Brain composition
- Stress overload
- Environment
OUR APPROACH TO IMPROVE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY SYMPTOMS
At Palm Beach Health Center, we focus on holistic, non-pharmaceutical approaches to supporting mental wellbeing. One such approach is neurofeedback therapy, which involves analyzing brainwave patterns and providing feedback to help the brain respond more positively to stress. This method aims to promote mood stability, reinforce positive behaviors, and enhance overall brain function, offering a supportive alternative to medication-based treatments. It does not treat depression or anxiety.
- Improve mood
- Reinforce positive behavior
- Calm overactive brain cells
- Raise self-esteem
