Treatable Conditions
Information on psychiatric conditions and effective treatment approaches.
Today we know that most psychiatric illness has a chemical cause, related to the neurotransmitters in our brain. We inherit a genetic predisposition for these illnesses from our family of origin. As a result medications have been developed to reduce or eliminate the symptoms associated with most psychiatric conditions.
Major depressive disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder; bipolar disorder and even schizophrenia are all due to chemical processes in our brain that can be corrected with the proper medications and knowledgeable care.
