Online Mental Health Outpatient Treatment Program for Teens in Texas

Depression

Depression, or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), is a mental health condition that involves recurring and severe periods of change in a teen’s thought processes and mood. To be diagnosed with depression, the change must last a minimum of 2 weeks and must include negative thoughts and hopelessness.

However, this mental health disorder involves more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch. When depression is left untreated, it can have devastating results for your teen and the rest of the family. Symptoms include a loss of energy, lack of Interest, physical aches and pains, changes in sleep and appetite, and suicidal thoughts.

Anxiety Disorders (e.g., Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety)

At one time or another, everyone can feel a little anxious. However, anxiety disorders have symptoms that are overwhelming and constant and often affect your teen’s ability to complete tasks of everyday living. Normal anxiety helps keep a person alert and cautious, but overwhelming and intense fears and distress can prevent your child from doing everyday activities.

Online treatment for anxiety can help your teen overcome some of the general symptoms of anxiety, including tension, jumpiness, restlessness, and feelings of dread. Teenagers with anxiety disorders may also have physical symptoms such as sweating, headaches, insomnia, and a pounding or racing heart. 

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, which produces an exaggerated worry response; social anxiety disorders which are more than simple shyness; and panic disorders, which are characterized by panic attacks and sudden feelings of terror. 

Phobias are also anxiety disorders that create a sense of fear surrounding a place, event, or object. For example, agoraphobia is the medical term used to describe anxiety or fear of places or situations where it would be difficult to escape. Each of these can be mitigated through virtual teen anxiety treatment.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

A significant traumatic event can have a lasting effect on a teenager. Traumatic events could include an assault, accident, natural disaster, or military combat. The resulting condition is called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which often coexists with other mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. 

Virtual PTSD treatment addresses symptoms like avoidance of places or objects that remind your teenager of the traumatic event and cognitive and mood symptoms that affect your teenager’s ability to function daily.

Bipolar Disorder

Adolescents with bipolar disorder experience shifts in mood, energy, and the ability to think clearly. Extreme mood highs are called mania, and the corresponding and equally disrupting lows are characterized as depression. Your teen can be symptom-free for periods, but if left untreated, bipolar disorder typically worsens.

Online treatment for bipolar disorder address the characteristic psychotic symptoms using a variety of therapeutic interventions. Using medication and complementary behavioral health approaches, BasePoint Academy can help your teen identify the symptoms they are experiencing and learn self-management strategies.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder characterized by symptoms that often interrupt a teenager’s ability to function optimally at school and work. Virtual ADHD treatment helps teens recognize and address symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity using medical management and talk therapy. 

Online treatment for ADHD offers your child the mental health support they need to be successful at school and work. Using self-management and education programs in the least restrictive environment possible, the board-certified therapists at BasePoint Academy help your teenager work through treatment approaches that have proven successful in reducing ADHD symptoms.

Trauma

Traumatic events come in all shapes and sizes. Your adolescent may have experienced trauma in the form of an accident, bullying, medical trauma, abuse, rape, or something similar. Online treatment for trauma helps your teenager identify the emotional and physical responses that are associated with the trauma.

These strategies also help them develop new responses so they can maintain their daily school, work, and exercise routines. Stress management and relaxation techniques also make a big difference in your teen’s mental health, since stress plays a significant role in trauma.

Online Psychiatric Disorders Treatment

Psychiatric disorders can include addictive behaviors, eating disorders, and schizophrenia, among others. Symptoms of psychiatric disorders can include confused thinking, trouble understanding people or situations, strong feelings of fear or guilt, and extreme mood changes. Your teenager may exhibit a change in drug or alcohol use, suicidal thinking, or marked changes in eating habits.
