mental health interventionMental health conditions are some of the most common diseases in the United States and across the world today. Millions of Americans across the country are battling one or more of these conditions. Still, very few of them will seek the treatment that they need. In some cases, they may not even realize that they are battling a mental health disorder. If this is the case for someone you love, it may be up to you and your family members to stage a mental health intervention. Trying to stage this type of intervention on your own may seem daunting. Fortunately, at Southworth Associates, we offer mental health intervention services to family members of those battling mental health conditions.

Who Needs Mental Health Intervention Services?

According to treatment professionals, mental illnesses are health conditions that involve changes in a person’s thinking, emotions, or behavior. In many cases, people with mental health conditions show problems functioning at work, home, or school, and they may demonstrate signs of emotional distress. They may also display other signs of distress, including:

  • Poor performance at work or school
  • Withdrawing from friends and family members
  • Challenges paying attention at home and school
  • Inability to care for themselves or other

There are many forms of mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety. No matter what form of mental health disorder your loved one is battling, it’s critical for them to get treatment. If they do not seek treatment, they may be unable to function in society. They may also act drastically, which can have long-term consequences. 

Your loved one may be showing signs that they’re battling a mental health condition and that their ability to function normally is diminishing. In such cases, it may be time to hold a mental health intervention. In order for long-term recovery to take place, it’s critical for them to get treatment as soon as you know that there is a problem. If you wait for extended periods of time to address the problem, your loved one’s condition may deteriorate. This deterioration may lead to imprisonment, hospitalization, or death.

Why Choose Mental Health Intervention Services

Mental health conditions can be extremely complex, so it is essential to make sure that a professional interventionist handles the situation. These discussions can be emotional, particularly if your loved one doesn’t think that there is a problem or if they don’t have a formal diagnosis. Conversely, they may have attended a treatment center in the past. Still, they may think that the treatment didn’t work or that they feel better without the medication. It’s critical to communicate the need for a change in both situations in a healthy and non-aggressive way. 

A mental health intervention is a time for you to tell your loved one that there’s a problem, but there is also a solution. However, in some cases, the discussion may deteriorate into an argument, where family and friends appear to gang up on the person they’re supposed to be helping. Therefore, having mental health intervention services at your side can be quite beneficial. An interventionist may be able to circumvent these arguments and monitor the conversation to ensure it is supportive and healthy.
