You go to the doctor, dentist and optometrist on a regular schedule, but if you are like many people, you probably aren’t paying as much attention as you should to your mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health and requires assessment in much the same way.

Your Physical Symptoms may be Something Else

If you have chronic pain, symptoms that mimic the flu or a range of other physical symptoms that your regular physician can't seem to diagnose properly, it may because they are related to your mental health. Anxiety, depression and several other mental illnesses can manifest themselves in the form of physical symptoms.

You may Need Specialized Treatment

Perhaps, you feel blue now and then. Maybe you get nervous in some social situations. While it is natural to be nervous or depressed from time to time, if it occurs regularly or worse, never seems to go away, it could be indicative or a larger problem. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, you risk going through life never feeling quite like yourself.

Assessment Helps You Find Serious Problems

A range of health problems can only be diagnosed after a thorough mental health assessment. Dementia and eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa require treatment from a physician as well as a mental health professional.
Your emotional stability is just as important as having healthy bones, teeth and eyes. If you would like to learn more about mental health, call Neon Health Services in East Cleveland at 216-541-5600.
