Mental Disorders

Mental disorders affect millions of people, and are fairly common. You’re not along if you suffer from clinical depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder or any other mental disorders. It can help to know you’re not alone. And it can help to call Cliffside Malibu and talk to a trained counselor about your situation. They can help you decide if our luxury treatment facility is right for you. If you’ve been given a dual diagnosis, meaning you have a mood disorder and also an addiction, then you need a facility like ours. At Cliffside Malibu, we’ll use an integrated treatment approach to help you overcome your addiction and your mental illness. While we may not be able to cure your mental illness, you can learn about it and learn how to manage it so that it doesn’t negatively affect your life.

Mental disorders do more than just make you depressed. Depression itself is something that everyone feels now and then. There’s probably not one adult in the world who hasn’t felt depressed at some point during life. Many children are even becoming depressed these days. But mental disorders take you beyond normal, short-lived depression. They throw in feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and a helplessness to change anything for the better. Depression will tell you not to even try, because after all, it’s not going to work anyway. You can start to sift the truth from depression’s lies if you’ll come to Cliffside Malibu from treatment. Please sit down and, call Cliffside Malibu at 1-800-501-1988.

Mental Disorders and Addiction

Having mental disorders makes life very difficult. Having an addiction makes life difficult, too. But if you have a mood disorder and an addiction, life can seem overwhelming on the best of days. At Cliffside Malibu, we understand how overwhelming it can be to suffer from both conditions. Overcoming one of them can be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. So the idea of fighting both an addiction and mental disorders can make the idea of coming for treatment a terrifying chore to be dreaded. But at our treatment facility, we do everything we can to actually make treatment a pleasant experience. It’s not just something you have to endure to get better. Instead, it’s something we want you to have good memories about.

We also believe that if you feel good, you’re better able to really accept the treatment and do the hard work of taking a hang in your own recovery. Unfortunately with mental disorders and addiction, there’s no magic pill to make it all better. There’s no one thing you can do that’s going to solve all your problems. That’s why you need a dedicated treatment facility like Cliffside Malibu to help you into recovery. It’s takes a multi-pronged approach to treat these complicated mental disorders. With a dual diagnosis, the addiction and the mental disorder need to be treated together. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988 to experience our mental disorders program for yourself.

The Depressed Mind

One of the challenges with mental disorders is getting the correct perception. Like the anorexic who weighs 85 pounds but sees herself as terribly fat in the mirror, the depressed person sees doom and gloom where there is none. A statement that means nothing can be taken as an insult. A good event can be seen through a filter that shows nothing but potential problems. These mental disorders lie to you 24 hours a day about how life just isn’t a happy state of being. They tell you that you’ll never be happy. Depression makes you feel like nothing can help you, so there’s no point in trying. This is a particularly difficult challenge, because so often the depressed person doesn’t even want to try treatment. And until they come to Cliffside Malibu, there’s no way to convince them that they’re wrong.

For those who do come, very quickly they start to see where their perceptions were off. Our light and airy atmosphere and sun-drenched living room and dining room can start to cheer you immediately. The ocean view is inspiring, and the lush gardens let you find some peace and quiet and get in touch with nature. We know that sun, flowers and the ocean cannot get rid of your mental disorders. If that’s all it took to keep from being depressed, no one in California would ever be sad. Mental disorders don’t work that way. But the positive atmosphere and the beautiful colors and furnishings are a first step in the right direction. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988.
