Types of Mental Health Issues
Addiction and the closely related issue of substance abuse are fairly common in Pennsylvania. In total, they affect roughly 7% of all state residents over the age of 11. Substance use disorder (SUD) is a mental health diagnosis encompassing addiction and substance abuse. Doctors view addiction as a more serious problem than substance abuse. However, they don’t separate the two when diagnosing SUDs.
While SUDs are common nationwide, they’re not the country’s most prevalent mental health issues. That distinction goes to major depressive disorder, better known as major depression. The list of common concerns also includes a group of conditions called anxiety disorders. No single anxiety disorder occurs as often as major depression. However, collectively, they affect nearly twice the number of people. Other serious mental health conditions include:
- Bipolar disorders
- Eating disorders
- Schizophrenic disorders
In Pennsylvania, rates of serious mental health conditions tend to peak among young adults. Still, significant numbers of older adults are also affected.

Psychotherapy as Mental Health Treatment
As in other states across the U.S., Pennsylvania mental health treatment often includes psychotherapy. In therapy, you can:
- Talk about your problems and experiences
- Get feedback and support from your therapist
- Learn more about the nature of your condition and how it affects you
- Get help building up coping skills that make it easier to restore and protect your mental health
Some therapies are especially useful if you’re affected by both an SUD and another mental health issue. Options of this sort include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). They also include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

Medication for Mental Health Treatment
Medications form a second common category of mental health treatments. The type and variety of medications available depend on the specific condition affecting you or your loved one. For example, you may receive:
- Any of a large assortment of depression medications classified as antidepressants
- Anxiety disorder treatments such as antidepressants, sedatives, or beta-blockers
- Treatments for bipolar disorder such as mood stabilizers, antidepressants, or antipsychotics
- Antipsychotics for other mental health conditions that can produce psychosis symptoms (e.g., schizophrenia, its related family of disorders, and certain forms of depression)
Medication is less common for substance use disorders than most other mental health conditions. It’s essentially limited to the treatment of addiction related to alcohol or opioid use. Medications for alcohol addiction can help you:
- Stop drinking while avoiding a relapse
- Decrease your interest in further drinking or the reward that comes from it
- Restore chemical imbalances caused by regular heavy drinking
Medications for opioid addiction can produce similar positive results for your recovery.

How to Get Help
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Therapy and medications are by far the most typical options for mental health treatment. But they’re not your only options. In certain situations, you may need the help provided by other kinds of treatment services.
Say, for example, that you or your loved one have depression symptoms that don’t respond to medication or therapy. In these circumstances, your recovery team may suggest the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). During a TMS procedure, low-level electrical pulses are directed through your brain in a controlled manner. The specialists conducting the procedure can adjust the depth and frequency of these pulses.
How can TMS support your recovery from depression that doesn’t respond to other treatments? Research shows that it activates areas of your brain that fall unusually inactive when depression is present. The change in the targeted areas can help relieve specific symptoms or generally lift your mood.
Not all Pennsylvania mental health treatment facilities offer TMS services. At Promont Wellness, we do. For more information on TMS’s potential benefits for hard-to-treat depression, consult us today.
Coordinating Your Overall Treatment Plan
To produce its best results, a mental health treatment plan must be well-coordinated. In other words, all parts of it must fit well together and provide a real recovery benefit. Effective coordination is especially important if you’re affected by a second mental health issue in addition to SUD. That’s true because your treatment plan must provide equal levels of support for both of these conditions.
Even when two people have the exact same problems, the forms of help they receive can differ. No two situations are the same, and recovery experts closely examine all factors affecting your odds for success. The end result is extensive customization that produces a recovery plan unique to you as an individual. And what works best for you might not fit the needs of another person in your treatment program.

What clients say about us...
“I’d like to thank Courtney from the bottom of my heart. She helped me through the scary process of getting into treatment and then treated me with respect and compassion. The treatment process was scary, vulnerable and uncomfortable, but she did everything she could to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I have become an active member of the recovery community and could not have done it without the guidance and expertise Courtney provided throughout treatment.”
