Often, sleep can disrupt may areas of life from mood and anxiety to blood pressure and blood sugar. If you have been having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting up after a full nights sleep still exhausted, Eclipse Mind & Body can discuss where the disruption is happening and ways to meet your sleep goals.

In the initial sleep evaluation, you will discuss your sleep pattern, any abnormal sleep behaviors, how long the symptoms have been going on, and how it impacts your life. From there, the provider can determine if further clinical testing is needed or an initial treatment plan can be started. In many cases, further testing includes at home sleep studies for things like obstructive sleep apnea. Eclipse Mind & Body utilizes FDA approved at home sleep studies which are mailed directly to use and analyzed with oversight by Board Certified Sleep Specialists.

Whether you are having new symptoms or wanting a new perspective, Eclipse Mind & Body can help you see how your symptoms impact your life. In the evaluation, a variety of person centered, mind-body treatment options can be offered to address the symptoms most causing dysfunction.

In an initial intake, you will discuss your past medical history, past psychiatric history, all medications you are taking and what symptoms are most concerning to you currently. You will discuss family and social factors such as family mental health history, your relationship with drugs and alcohol, and your social life/support. As trauma can be a cause for many struggles in mental health, this will be a topic but is always ok to be declined if it is too painful especially at the first meeting.

After initial evaluations, Eclipse Mind & Body will continue to work with you to implement and evaluate the treatment plan you and the provider agree on to meet your mental health goals. These can include medication management, brief psychotherapy, referrals to other mental or physical health providers, recommendations of complementary and alternative medicine practices.

Often, a follow up visit with Eclipse Mind & Body includes checking in on or adjusting medication, discussing a specific sleep treatment plan, and working together on adding in or strengthening a practice such as yoga, meditation, or aromatherapy. You and your provider will work in each visit to see how your treatment is helping you reach your wellness goals and what changes need to still be made.

Eclipse Mind & Body practices under the philosophy that preventative care will always be the best method to reduce illness. By acting early and often, we can save time, money, and lives.

If you do not have history of significant mental health concerns (no diagnosis of depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, generalized anxiety, ADHD, etc.) getting an annual mental health wellness visit just like you do for a physical can spot problem areas and provide tools in advance to combated the stressors that come to everyone in life. Whether it is to prevent complicated grief from the unexpected loss of a loved one or to prevent PTSD from a car crash, discussing ways to build resilience and promote mental health for you and your loved ones once a year is worth it.
