Mental Health Disorder

When mental health disorders are left untreated, the consequences can be devastating. And the longer a person goes without getting mental health treatment, the worse the effects can become. The specific effects will vary based on the type of mental health disorder a person has, but examples include: 

• Academic failure or job loss 

• Chronic unemployment 

• Deteriorated relationships with family and friends 

• Physical health problems 

• Onset of new or worsening of existing symptoms 

• Drug or alcohol use and addiction 

• Low self-esteem 

• Loss of hope for the future 

• Self-harming behaviors 

• Suicidal thoughts and behaviors 

The good news is that mental health disorders can be treated. When a person seeks comprehensive professional care at a treatment center like Orlando Health Behavioral Health Hospital, they can begin to heal from any mental health disorder effects they have experienced and learn how to manage symptoms moving forward. 

Many people think that getting treatment for mental health disorders won’t make a meaningful difference, but clinical evidence proves that the opposite is true. Mental health disorders are highly treatable conditions, and for many individuals who receive care at a clinically excellent treatment center like our hospital in Apopka, Florida, the relief they experience from getting their symptoms under control can be transformative. 

The benefits of receiving mental health disorder treatment are vast, but examples of the ways it helps people include: 

• Reduction in symptom severity 

• Restored functioning in daily life 

• Prevention of crisis escalation 

• Improved physical health 

• Improved relationships 

• Social reconnection 

• Greater self-understanding 

• Renewed sense of hope for the future 

For individuals in Apopka, Orlando and throughout central Florida who are struggling with mental health disorders, Orlando Health Behavioral Health Hospital offers a level of care that is designed for those moments when a crisis arises or when outpatient support is no longer sufficient.  

Our inpatient psychiatric program provides a structured, immersive environment in which patients receive continuous clinical support round-the-clock. Inpatient care at our Apopka facility is appropriate for individuals who are experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms that require monitoring and stabilization. 

Every patient receives an individualized mental health disorder treatment plan that is developed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. The details of these individualized treatment plans will vary based on a person’s specific needs, but the services they may receive include: 

• Medication management services: If medication is included in a patient’s treatment plan, they receive daily medication management services from a psychiatrist. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses assist with administering and monitoring the effects of any medication a patient is taking. 

• Individual therapy: Patients meet with a therapist for an individual therapy session during their assessment. After that, individual therapy sessions may take place on an as-needed or as-requested basis. 

• Family therapy: Oftentimes, families can play an important role in a person’s healing process. When clinically indicated, family therapy sessions are provided for our patients and their loved ones. 

• Group therapy: Group therapy is the main mental health disorder treatment method we use at our hospital in Apopka, Florida. Licensed therapists, nurses and mental health technicians lead the groups, which typically take place three times per day. The types of groups we offer include process groups, psychoeducation groups, recreational groups and self-care groups. During group sessions, patients have an opportunity to discuss a variety of topics, such as coping skills, boundaries, self-esteem and trauma processing.  

At Orlando Health Behavioral Health Hospital, we address our patients’ mental health needs thoughtfully and respectfully, meeting them with every resource we have available.
