Depressive Disorders
Depression manifests in various forms. Treatment often involves a combination of antidepressant medication and psychotherapy.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Major Depressive Disorder is characterized by pervasive sadness and a lack of interest in activities, significantly impacting daily functioning. Symptoms may include changes in appetite or sleep, fatigue, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD)
Persistent Depressive Disorder, or dysthymia, is a long-lasting form of depression where individuals experience a chronic low mood and other symptoms such as low self-esteem and hopelessness, affecting daily life and functioning.
Anxiety Disorders
At Oceanside, we treat various forms of anxiety disorders, each requiring a specialized approach:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Characterized by chronic anxiety, worry, and tension, even when there is little or nothing to provoke it. This disorder can significantly interfere with daily activities, making it difficult to concentrate, rest, and accomplish tasks.
Panic Disorder
Involves unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress.
Agoraphobia
Fear of places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment. This fear can be so overwhelming that people may avoid public places or even avoid leaving their homes.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Extreme fear of being judged by others in social situations, leading to significant distress and often hindering one’s ability to function effectively in daily life.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition characterized by significant mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). At Oceanside, we utilize a combination of medication management and psychotherapy to help stabilize mood and improve quality of life.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after exposure to a traumatic event. Our therapists employ evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help patients process trauma and regain control of their lives.
Substance Use Disorders
We treat various substance use disorders, focusing on comprehensive recovery solutions:
Alcohol Use Disorder
Involves a pattern of alcohol use leading to significant clinical and functional impairment, including health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home.
Opioid Use Disorder
Characterized by a problematic pattern of opioid use that causes significant impairment or distress, including a strong desire to use opioids, increased tolerance, and withdrawal syndrome.
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) causes persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions). Treatment includes therapy, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and medication.
Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder characterized by distorted thinking, perceptions, emotions, language, self-awareness, and behavior. Treatment is typically a lifelong process focusing on symptom management through antipsychotic medications and psychosocial therapies.
Personality Disorders
Personality disorders are characterized by enduring maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience. At Oceanside, we offer tailored therapy sessions to manage and treat various personality disorders:
Borderline Personality Disorder
Characterized by intense emotions, poor self-image, and impulsive behaviors. It often results in turbulent relationships.
Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Features include acute discomfort in close relationships, distortions in thinking, and eccentric behavior.
Paranoid Personality Disorder
Marked by deep mistrust and suspicion of others, making it difficult to maintain close relationships.
Schizoid Personality Disorder
Exhibits a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle, and emotional coldness.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects concentration, impulsive actions, and energy levels. We provide behavioral strategies and medication to help manage symptoms.
Adjustment Disorder
This disorder occurs in response to a significant life change or stressor. Our team supports patients through counseling and coping strategies.
Somatic Symptom Disorder
Characterized by an extreme focus on physical symptoms — such as pain or fatigue — that causes major emotional distress and problems functioning. We offer psychological counseling and medication as needed.
