WHAT WE DO

We offer advice for the following mental health issues

At thelonelyamerican.com, our mission extends beyond mere awareness; we’re committed to actively addressing a spectrum of mental health challenges. We provide you with all the information you need to address a variety of mental health issues including ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and various personality disorders.

01.
Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD)

Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD) involves a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation. Individuals may avoid work activities, be reluctant to engage in new activities, and have a fear of rejection or criticism.

02.
Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is marked by dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels, ranging from manic highs to depressive lows. Symptoms can include euphoria, rapid speech, and risky behavior during manic episodes, and sadness, fatigue, and hopelessness during depressive episodes.

03.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by a pattern of intense and unstable interpersonal relationships, self-image, and emotions. Signs include impulsive actions, mood swings, fear of abandonment, and difficulty managing anger.

04.
Cyclothymic Disorder (Cyclothymia)

Cyclothymic Disorder, or Cyclothymia, is a milder form of bipolar disorder, consisting of chronic fluctuating moods with periods of hypomania and mild depression. It differs from bipolar and major depression by its chronic nature and less severe symptoms.

05.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves persistent and excessive worry about various aspects of life, often uncontrollable and disproportionate to the actual likelihood or impact of the feared event. Symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, concentration problems, and sleep disturbances.

06.
Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD)

Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) is characterized by a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of, leading to submissive and clinging behavior and fears of separation. Signs include difficulty making decisions without reassurance, feelings of helplessness when alone, and an urgent need to start a new relationship when one has ended.

Together we get through it.
