Behavioral Issues

Behavioral challenges can affect how you think, feel, and act, sometimes interfering with your daily life and relationships. At Elevate Minds Psychiatry, we provide compassionate care for adults, children, and adolescents experiencing mood swings, impulsivity, and other significant behavior changes. Our experienced team offers thorough evaluations both in-office and through secure telemedicine to help identify the root causes of these behaviors. We work with you to develop personalized treatment plans that may include psychotherapy, medication management, and other supportive therapies tailored to your needs.

Behavioral challenges can arise from traumatic experiences, difficult life events, or unhealthy relationships. Unprocessed trauma often leads to coping behaviors that feel out of character. Additionally, behavioral symptoms can be linked to underlying mental health conditions such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Substance use disorder
• Oppositional defiant disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD)
• PANDAS/PANS

We take a patient-centered approach focused on uncovering and treating the underlying causes of behavioral issues. Our goal is to help you regain balance, improve your well-being, and enjoy a happier, healthier life.

If you notice unusual changes in your behavior that impact your health, relationships, or daily responsibilities, consider scheduling a diagnostic evaluation. These changes may include:

• Violent outbursts
• Extreme mood swings
• Criminal activity
• Uncontrollable impulsivity
• Difficulty focusing or sitting still
• Excessive alcohol or drug use
• Withdrawal or isolation from loved ones

Our team provides thorough behavior evaluations both in-person and through secure telemedicine. We carefully review your medical history and listen to your concerns to understand your unique situation. From there, we develop a personalized care plan aimed at addressing the root causes of these behavioral changes and supporting your long-term physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
