Novum Psychiatry Natick
Life can be a struggle when you have poor mental health. In extreme cases, even routine activities like sleeping through the night are a challenge. All of life’s pressure can start to feel overwhelming to handle on your own, and your emotions can start to swing from one end to the other.
A significant stigma has been attached to mental health problems throughout the years. Many of us could be facing challenges in our work-life balance to the extent that it is starting to affect our personal life and relationships.
In Natick, 7.5% of the residents in adults reported poor mental health for 15 days at a time or more. In the MetroWest region, 6.2% of all adults reported poor mental health[1].
A focus group participant in a recent survey of mental health said: “The community needs an understanding of mental health issues and how to take care of themselves.” This clearly shows that there is a lack of awareness for mental health in Natick and the greater MetroWest area.
Causes of Poor Mental Health
Research carried out from 2005 until 2011 revealed several causes of poor mental health in today’s society. The stress of working multiple jobs was one of the leading reasons cited amongst immigrants as they face huge responsibilities, including sending money back to their home country. They work hard but cannot enjoy their life. Among the senior participants of the study, poor mental health was due to social isolation and lack of family living close by. There are rising rates of mental health-related issues in children due mainly to the stress of getting good grades.
Many homeless groups suffer from mental health issues that prevent them from reintegrating back into society.

Depression
Depression is one of the most common serious mental health issues. With many people falling victim to depression, many can experience it multiple times throughout their lives. Depression can make it challenging to get through your day.
The symptoms of depression range from mild to severe. We all experience sadness and low energy, but it becomes depression when it starts to affect everyday activities. Being too emotional without knowing the reason, feeling a sense of unhappiness, losing interest in social activities, low productivity at work, and worsening personal relationships are all symptoms of depression.
Psychotic Disorders
Psychotic disorders are severe mental disorders that can make you experience delusions, hallucinations, or extremely disordered behavior and thinking.
Symptoms vary in intensity, but they are always present, even in periods of remission. Schizophrenia is a serious health disorder that can be treated with an individualized life-long approach.
Bipolar Disorder
Sudden changes in mood that are caused by bipolar disorders include episodes of emotional highs and lows, spikes in energy, extreme changes in behavior, and unusual sleeping habits.
This disorder is a severe condition but can be managed with effective use of psychotherapy and medication, as well as an effective treatment plan.
Anxiety
At Novum, our professional treatment ensures that you initiate a change in your life for the better.
