Self-Care 101: How to Approach Food & Nutrition in Your Recovery. New Foods, Better Health, and Wellness!
Finding new ways to experience a healthier lifestyle can help promote wellness that embraces better nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness activities.
Because physical and mental health are connected, addressing physical and mental health together leads to better treatment outcomes. Maintaining mental and physical well-being is key and at Dr. Patel’s office, this can be done through psychiatric wellness checkups.
Caring For Your Mental Health
Your mental well-being directly affects your physical health and wellness, and early identification and treatment can be especially helpful in preventing symptoms from worsening. Identifying early signs of mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression is important. Because of this, we offer wellness visits to help you with your mental health. Wellness visits can be helpful in gaining more insight into the following areas of your life:
Managing Emotions
Your emotional health matters, and by taking an introspective look at your emotions and reactions, you can gain better insight into how your emotions affect your life and the choices you make.
Recognizing Patterns in Daily Life
Analyzing your emotions and thoughts also means looking at patterns throughout your day-to-day activities and recognizing any harmful and maladaptive behaviors. This includes substance use or engaging in impulsive or compulsive behaviors.
