Mental Health

What is mental health?

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, but it can be easy to overlook due to costs, a busy schedule, or simply not realizing that something missing. The team at Thrive Family Practice offers the supportive care you need from an inclusive and nonjudgmental perspective. 

There are many factors in life that can influence your mental health and contribute to conditions impacting it, including your:

• Environment
• Genetics
• Financial status
• Stress
• Substance use
• Past trauma

Often, mental health conditions show up without any specific identifiable cause. You might have family members with a history of mental health conditions, which may help you identify the signs and symptoms for yourself. 

Generally, you should consider booking a mental health evaluation if you experience major changes in your thoughts and feelings that interfere with your ability to function normally. These can include intense sadness, fear or worry, or having mood swings.
