Despite the complexity of people’s lives, health care typically responds with fragmented services. At LCHC, we recognize a person is unlikely to make changes to their diet, exercise regularly, or follow their prescriptions if they're suffering from untreated anxiety, depression or substance abuse.
Counseling and medication can help. Sometimes, changes in behaviors by the individual or family and changes in thinking can help people better cope with chronic medical conditions.
Take a free screening to help you determine if your recent thoughts or behaviors may be associated with a common, treatable mental health issue. Online screening courtesy of Mental Health America in Sheboygan County.
