Psychotic Disorders
These are severe mental disorders that make a person think and perceive unconventionally, causing delusions and hallucinations.

There are also instances that people see, hear, and feeling something that is actually not there. Some psychotic disorders include schizophrenia, dementia and delirium, postpartum psychosis, and more.
Avoidant Personality Disorder
Often, people with avoidant personality disorders isolate themselves from others due to extreme fear of criticism or rejection. They tend to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in gatherings and social situations. So they avoid contact with others. We have experts who can address their condition and help them integrate into the community effectively and confidently with treatments.
Borderline Personality Disorder
This type of mental disorder involves intense fear of instability or abandonment. People with a borderline personality disorder do not want to be left alone. However, they may unintentionally push people away due to their inappropriate anger, frequent mood swings, and impulsiveness. Usually, symptoms include mental images or fantasies about hurting oneself and suicidal thoughts.
Histrionic Personality Disorder
When your loved one is constantly needing attention and shows excessive attention-seeking behaviors, including an excessive desire for approval and inappropriate seduction, it may be time to consider scheduling an appointment with a psychologist. Our mental professionals are trained and knowledgeable on the treatment and prevention of worsening of this disorder.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Loving yourself is okay and, in fact, important. However, excessive self-importance and craving for admiration from others without knowing how to sympathize is not healthy. It might be a sign of narcissism. If your loved ones are experiencing NPD, feel free to schedule an appointment with us. We’ll help you.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
Usually, OCPD is characterized by extreme perfectionism, neatness, and orderliness. But it also involves difficulty in expressing feelings, forming and maintaining close relationships, and may sometimes experience anxiety attacks. With us, there will be a three-pronged approach treatment to help with their behavior, relaxation, and medication.
Paranoid Personality Disorder

We have intricately detailed treatment plans to help people with PPD overcome this problem.

Autism

Depression
Being isolated is not an option but a choice. Most of the time, especially for individuals who have disability, aging, or illness, they tend to feel alone and solitary.

Our medical and non-medical professionals can also help you in dealing and providing necessary treatments for your loved ones.
Bipolar Disorder

It is incorporated with symptoms that include hallucinations, delusions, among others. However, with the help of a medical professional, patients will receive treatments that focus on eliminating such disease and symptoms.
Mild Schizophrenia
Mild Schizophrenia is more focused on the negative symptoms of Schizophrenia as they question the appropriate social behavior of an individual. This includes lack of motivation and social withdrawal toward many aspects of the patients’ lives. Healthcare professionals will assess patients with specific treatments needed to prevent the increase in the severity of its symptoms.
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is a birth defect caused by maternal alcohol consumption
during pregnancy. Although there is no cure for FASD, researches have shown possible treatments that can help improve the child’s development from birth to 3 years of age with the help of a medical professional.
Someone can have complex needs because of learning or physical disabilities, autism, FASD, mental health, acquired brain injury or dementia, which are often combined with physical health needs that might include epilepsy or sensory issues.
“Challenging behavior” is the term given to types of behavior that people at times display as a way of getting their needs met. This type of behavior is a way of letting people know your feelings and emotions when you don’t have the communication or social skills to do it in other ways. These include self-injury, hurting others, ingesting inedible items, being destructive, or other behaviors like persistently running away, and spitting or removing clothes.
People with complex needs or challenging behaviors may have experienced a number of placements; some of them are a long way from home, either because their needs have changed or because the placement has broken down.
