Mental
Depression
A behavioral addiction is a compulsion engaging in pleasurable behaviors despite the negative – often destructive – results it may cause in a person’s life. Such excessive behaviors include gambling, food, pornography or cravings for constant sexual intercourse, use of computers, video games, internet & other digital media, exercise, shopping, etc.
Anxiety disorders are characterized by constant and overwhelming sense of fear and worry, often accompanied by somatic symptoms, such as muscle tension, trembling, sweating, heart palpitations etc and the person may develop avoidance behavior, which, long term, will worsen the fear of the phobic situation. Agitation, depression, alcohol or drug addiction are some of the complications of chronic stress.
There are several types of anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and agoraphobia. Concurrence of 2 or more anxiety disorders is very common.
What we do
Each case is unique so treatment has to be adjusted accordingly to each person’s differentiated history and current levels of compulsion. Medication is used in most – but not all – cases to eliminate the dysphoria that the discontinuation of a certain behavior might cause. Psychotherapy and relaxing activities are the backbone of the treatment.
