Symptoms include difficulty staying on task, forgetfulness, impulsive actions, and restlessness. Treatment options include behavioral therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and medication for better focus and impulse control.
Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad—it’s a persistent mental health condition that affects mood, thoughts, and daily life. Symptoms include prolonged sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and changes in appetite or sleep. Therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication can help manage depression effectively.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural response to stress but can become overwhelming when persistent. It often leads to excessive worry, restlessness, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty focusing. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), panic attacks, and social anxiety are common types. Therapy, relaxation techniques, and medication can help regulate anxiety.

Individuals with ASD may have sensory sensitivities, repetitive behaviors, and difficulty understanding social cues. Early intervention, behavioral therapy, and support systems can help improve social skills and independence.

Uncontrolled anger can negatively impact relationships and well-being. Anger management helps individuals recognize triggers, develop coping strategies, and express emotions healthily. Techniques include deep breathing, cognitive restructuring, and communication skills training to prevent outbursts and improve self-control.

Insomnia involves difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. It leads to daytime fatigue, irritability, and impaired concentration. Causes include stress, anxiety, lifestyle habits, or medical conditions. Treatment includes improving sleep hygiene, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-I), and, in some cases, medication.
