How Do We Define Mental Health?
Our mental health refers to our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing.
The state of our mental health impacts the way we feel about ourselves and our
lives, how we think and how we behave. It impacts:
- How we function at work or school
- Our relationships with friends and family
- How to cope with the stresses and worries of normal life
- Our ability to carry out our personal responsibilities
- Our physical health. For example, high stress levels can increase our
chances of getting a stress-related illness
It’s normal for all of us to have difficult emotions from time to time. For most
people, these feelings are only temporary and won’t cause any long-term
problems. However, for some people, these negative feelings can become
worse over ime and lead to the development of a mental health condition.
Struggling with your mental health doesn’t mean you’re weak and it’s not
something that’s all in your head. If your mental health problems are persistent
and ongoing, it’s a brave and important step to admit that you need support.
Statistics on mental health show that 1 in 6 people report experiencing
symptoms of common mental health problems in any given week. It’s likely it’s
affecting more people around you than you realize.

How are Mental Health Conditions Treated?
Once a mental health professional, like a consultant psychiatrist, has assessed
your symptoms and individual needs, they can work with you to establish
what will be the most effective treatments for you.
Priory provides many evidence-based treatments, structured within National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, that can help you to
overcome the difficulties you’ve been experiencing and set you on a path to
improve your wellbeing in the long term.
Treatment Programmes
Our treatment programmes are delivered by a world-class team of therapists,
psychiatrists and psychologists at our network of UK hospital sites and
wellbeing centres. Tailored to your needs, each programme can be scaled up
or down depending on the level of support needed for your recovery
Treatment programmes with Priory include:
Inpatient (residential)
For the most intensive treatment, you can stay at one of our mental health
hospitals on a residential basis. Here, you can receive round-the-clock care,
expert therapy, wellbeing activities and other effective treatments that puts
the focus on your recovery.
Day care and outpatient
This is when you attend a hospital site or wellbeing center for a set number of
days, half-days or hourly sessions to receive mental health treatment and
therapy. This type of treatment is flexible and allows you to work on your
recovery around some of your other responsibilities
Day care and outpatient
Therapy gives you dedicated time and space to talk through the difficulties
you’ve experienced in your life and your current struggles. With the help of a
trained therapist, you can learn to process and deal with problems in your life,
develop coping strategies to overcome stresses in the future, and develop a
more healthy, sustainable mindset that delivers positive mental health.
There are many types of therapy. The one that’s right for you will depend on
your condition and other individual circumstances. Common types of therapy
used for mental health disorders include
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – focuses on how our thoughts and
beliefs affect our behaviors and actions, developing coping skills so we
can better deal with problems in our lives. It is used to treat a wide
range of mental health disorders including treatment for depression,
anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). - Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – built on top of CBT, but focuses on
how the individual can learn to understand and accept themselves to
reduce dysfunctional and distressing emotions. It is used to help people
with personality disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) and bipolar disorder.
Therapy can come in one of a few formats. It can be done on a one-to-one
basis, with your family and friends or as part of a group with other people who
are in recovery.
Medication
A consultant psychiatrist may prescribe medication in order to help your
recovery. Medication doesn’t offer a cure to any mental health disorder, but it
can help ease your symptoms and help you to fully focus on gettng better. It’s
open used to complement the therapeutic elements of your treatment.
As an example, antidepressant medication, like selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs), might be prescribed for people with depression or anxiety
Wellness activities
You might also engage in a range of wellness activities, helping you to stay
healthy in mind, body and spirit. These include things like yoga, meditation,
exercise classes and massage treatments
