Anxiety is what we feel when we are worried, tense, or afraid, particularly about things that are about to happen or that we think could happen in the future. Anxiety is a natural human response when we feel that we are under threat. It can be experienced through our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Anxiety can become a mental health problem if it impacts your ability to live as functionally as possible. 

Bipolar is a mental health problem that mainly affects your mood and is divided into Manic or hypomanic episodes, which mean feeling high, and Depressive episodes, which mean feeling low. Potentially, you may experience some psychotic symptoms during manic or depressive episodes. You might hear these experiences called mood episodes. There are Bipolar I and Bipolar II Disorders with different symptoms.

Depression is a low mood that lasts most days, including weight loss and insomnia or hypersomnia, that affects your activities, interests, and pleasure in your everyday life. In its mild form, depression can bring low energy. Although it may not stop you from living your daily life, it makes everything more challenging and seems less worthwhile. In its most severe condition, depression leads to a life-threatening crisis and burden.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), also referred to as multiple personality disorder, is a psychological disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities. “Dissociate” denotes the act of separating or disconnecting. Individuals with DID may present multiple distinct personalities, commonly known as alters. Each identity may show distinct actions, memories, cognitive habits, or expressions.

Life transitions are periods in life involving major changes to your lifestyle. They might also be the result of important events that make you stop and evaluate your life. Life transitions may run smoothly, but people often struggle to adjust to change and may find these periods of life highly stressful and distressing, such as LGBTQ issues, marriage, relationships, careers, mid-life crises, divorce, or relocation.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by a recurrent pattern of intrusive thoughts and anxieties referred to as obsessions. These obsessions compel you to engage in repetitive activities, known as compulsions. These obsessions and compulsions impede daily activities and induce significant distress. Obsessive behaviors compel individuals to alleviate their tension. This constitutes the cycle of OCD.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health problem you may develop after exposure to traumatic events. War veterans first recognized the condition. A wide range of traumatic experiences can be causes of PTSD. When you go through something you find traumatic and threatening, it is understandable to experience symptoms of PTSD afterward, including feeling numb or having trouble sleeping as an acute stress reaction.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a mental disorder that affects a person’s brain and behavior, leading to their inability to control their use of substances or trauma, such as drugs, alcohol, or medications. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, with dependency being the most powerful. Individuals who experience an SUD may experience a co-occurring mental disorder, including anxiety, depression, and psychotic effects.

Going through stressful, frightening, or distressing events is sometimes called trauma. When we talk about emotional or psychological trauma, which refers to situations or events, we find it traumatic how our experiences affect us. Traumatic events can happen at any age and cause long-lasting harm and disturbance. Everyone reacts differently to trauma, so you might notice any effects quickly or after a long period of time.

Psychological tests can assess your anger threshold, tendency to lose control, and anger management. You probably already know if anger is a problem for you. If your actions seem illogical and frightening, you may need help managing this feeling. The goal of anger management is to lessen emotional intensity and physiological responses. You may not be able to eliminate your anger, but you may learn to control it.

Chronic pain is long-lasting suffering or a chronic illness like arthritis. Chronic pain can be constant or periodic. It can cause serious disease, impairing the capacity to work, eat well, exercise, and enjoy life. Chronic pain has many causes. Pain persists after a protracted recovery from an injury or sickness. Chronic pain from cancer or arthritis is another possibility. Even without an injury or sickness, many people have chronic pain.

A phobia is an all-consuming, unreasonable fear of something or someone. This overwhelming feeling is sudden and long-lasting. It happens if no threat is imminent. Genetic and environmental variables may cause phobias. Some phobias stem from a traumatic first experience with a dreaded object, action, or scenario. Phobias may develop without an initial encounter or in people with a predisposition.

Giving up cigarettes or vapes are challenging. Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation works best if you work individually, which can customize the sessions to match your lifestyle. Hypnotherapy can help you find a healthy, effective replacement action, guide your subconscious toward that habit rather than smoking, and train your mind to associate smoking with undesirable feelings like a bad taste.

Sexual dysfunction occurs when you have trouble enjoying sexual activity, which causes you distress.

The list includes heart rate, respiration, digestion, discomfort, sleeplessness, and attention. It is critical to have pre-surgrey preparation.

If you have insomnia, hypnotherapy can relax you enough to get you to sleep more easily. If you're a sleepwalker, it can also train you to wake up when you feel your feet hit the floor and help you avoid sleepwalking escapades. If you want to sleep a little better, it can increase the amount of time you sleep, the amount of time spent in deep sleep, and the type of sleep you need to wake up feeling refreshed, relaxed, and full of energy.

As with smoking cessation, there aren't many studies yet that can confirm the effectiveness of hypnotherapy on weight loss, though some studies have found modest weight loss. It is usually most helpful when hypnotherapy is used in combination with diet and exercise changes. When you are hypnotized, your attention is highly focused. This makes you more likely to listen and respond to suggestions for behavior changes.
