  • Mental Health FAQ

    How do I know if what I’m feeling is a mental health condition?

    Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs; however, if your feelings are intense, persistent, and/or interfere with your daily life, they may be signs of a mental health condition — especially if you’re experiencing suicidal ideation. Regular mental health screenings can help you monitor symptoms and track whether they’re improving or worsening over time. If certain symptoms persist, it might be a sign to reach out for more specialized assistance.

    What causes mental illness?

    Mental illness can be caused by a combination of factors, including trauma, genetics, brain chemistry, life experiences, and environmental influences. No single cause applies to everyone, and often, multiple contributing factors are present.

    How do I know when I should seek treatment for my mental health? 

    If your mental health is impacting your relationships, work, physical health, or overall well-being, it’s a good time to seek help. You don’t have to wait for a crisis to receive treatment – early intervention can make a significant difference. Our team can help assess your needs and guide you towards the right treatment.

    What are the common signs and symptoms of someone struggling with their mental health?

    The signs and symptoms of someone struggling with their mental health may present differently from person to person, but common signs include: 

    Expressing thought of self-harm or suicide 

    Ongoing sadness, anxiety, or irritability

    Withdrawing from friends and activities

    Sudden mood changes

    Sleep or appetite disturbances 

    Difficulty focusing or functioning 

    Feeling hopeless or overwhelmed

    What should I do if I—or someone I know—is in crisis?

    If you, a loved one, or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For urgent mental health support, contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 (available 24/7). At The Meadows, we can help guide you through what to do next and understand the best treatment care.

    How can I support a loved one struggling with their mental health?

    Supporting a loved one struggling with mental health starts with listening and letting them know they are not alone. Educate yourself about what they are going through so you can better understand their experience. It is also very important to take care of your own well-being so you can offer consistent, compassionate support, even if they’re not ready to learn more about treatment options.

    How do I get started with mental health treatment?

    The first step towards treatment for mental health begins with reaching out.

    Does The Meadows provide post-treatment recovery support? 

    At The Meadows, we know that recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. The Meadows offers several different options, including step-down programs after inpatient treatment through our outpatient programs with locations across the country, as well as our experienced Case Management team that provides ongoing support. Additionally, our alumni program, Onward, is open to any individual who has gone through one of our programs. Onward provides individuals with a supportive community committed to ongoing resources and empowerment, knowing that recovery is a lifelong journey. 

    Does treatment for mental health include family involvement or support? 

    Family or friend involvement is crucial to the healing process for mental health. In our programs, we offer a variety of resources for family members, including educational and communication tools, as well as, in some cases, onsite workshops. The decision to attend a family program is guided by several factors, including the length of stay, clinical appropriateness, patient desire, and others. Once admitted, our team members will work with the patient and their family to determine the next steps.
