Nervous Breakdown Treatment

Nervous Breakdown is not a technical diagnosis because it is not a specific mental illness. Often, when a person experiences a mental health crisis similar to a mental or nervous breakdown, a psychologist or psychiatrist may diagnosis a mental illness that underlies the crisis. Typical diagnoses for someone who has suffered a nervous breakdown include:

• Major depression
• Anxiety disorders
• Acute stress disorders

If you’re suffering from a nervous breakdown, professional care is needed to help you learn healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with stress.

The prognosis for those suffering from nervous breakdown is good. Residential treatment for nervous breakdowns will help clients achieve long-term sustainable change to overcome their symptoms and regain normal healthy social function.

Since a nervous breakdown can happen due to many different levels of stress, underlying mental health conditions and co-occurring disorders, and co-occurring substance use disorder, the symptoms people experience vary; therefore, our team at Bridges to Recovery performs comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing to ensure an accurate diagnosis.. Based on your diagnosis and comprehensive assessments, our expert clinical team will provide you with an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Treatment for nervous breakdown normally include:

• Therapies. Consistently working with a therapist can help a patient manage and minimize their stress, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and take steps towards necessary lifestyle changes.  Group therapy may also help patients share and understand how other people have recovered.
• Medication. It is not uncommon for someone who has experienced a nervous breakdown to be diagnosed with a mental health condition like depression or an anxiety disorder. Depending on the diagnosis a patient may be prescribed medication, such as antidepressants, to help keep symptoms at bay.
• Lifestyle changes. Individuals who have experienced a nervous breakdown should consider taking a deep look into the stressors in their life and adjusting them. Sometimes this may mean finding a new job, ending a relationship, or cutting back on responsibilities to reduce stress.
• Family therapy and education. Therapy that involves your family may be a great way to help educate the people most important to you about your nervous breakdown and about how they can best support you.
• Relaxation and mindfulness techniques. Alternative and holistic therapies may also be used to treat nervous breakdown . Most commonly, meditation, yoga, and exercise are administered.
