Depression is a common mental health condition that can affect anyone. It is characterised by a persistent low mood or loss of pleasure or interest in activities for extended periods. This differs from regular mood changes and feelings about everyday life.

The goal of anger management is to reduce both emotional feelings and the physiological triggers that cause anger. While you can't eliminate or avoid the things or people that enrage you, nor can you change them, you can learn to control your reactions.

Addiction of any type is symptomatic, and its root cause is often a mental health issue. Addiction is a state of psychological and physical dependence on drugs, other substances (such as alcohol), or activities and behaviours (such as sex, exercise, and gambling). There are three main types of addiction: physical addiction, behavioural addiction, and impulse control disorders. Physical addiction occurs when the body becomes so dependent on a substance that it experiences withdrawal symptoms without it.

There are five main psychiatric disorders. These include autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia. Symptoms can overlap, making it difficult to distinguish among these five major psychiatric syndromes.
