Thought Disorders
Thought disorders refer to a mental health condition in which thinking patterns become disorganized, leading to abnormal language expression while speaking and writing. Symptoms of thought disorders may include disorganized speech, tangential thinking (derailing off-topic), thought blocking (sudden interruption in thought process), and loose associations (jumping between unrelated topics). Thought disorders are often associated with conditions such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, psychotic depression, and mania. Medication management and psychotherapy are evidence-based treatments for managing thought disorders.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia affects how you think, feel, and behave, often making it difficult to distinguish reality from delusions or hallucinations. It can disrupt work, relationships, and daily functioning, leading to confusion and isolation. Treatment with the right combination of
medication and therapy can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. If you’re facing these challenges, I can help guide you through the process of regaining control and improving your mental well-being.
Schizoaffective Disorder
Schizoaffective disorder blends symptoms of schizophrenia, like hallucinations or delusions, with mood disorder features such as depression or mania. This combination can make daily life feel unpredictable and overwhelming. You may experience shifts in energy, thought, and emotion that impact your relationships, work, and sense of self. With the right treatment plan, often a combination of medication, therapy, and steady clinical support, symptoms can become more manageable, and life can begin to feel more stable. If you're navigating this diagnosis, you're not alone. Many people find relief and steadier functioning with consistent care. I’m here to support you in finding clarity, stability, and a path forward.
