The Types of Mood Disorder We Treat

Moodiness and the associated symptoms develop disorders if they affect a person’s functioning at work, school, home, in social events, and other meaningful interactions. We effectively treat different types of mood disorders including:

Major depressive disorder – also referred to as clinical or major depression, this type of mood disorder is characterized by long periods of unexplained extreme sadness, desperation, and/or fatigue that could last for at least two weeks. While it could be triggered by certain illnesses or life events, one could develop depression without a specific trigger. A person who has a history of depression is likely to experience more episodes in the future.
Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) – this is a mild, but an ongoing type of depression. Dysthymia is characterized by bouts of depression or irritability that could last for as long as two years.
Bipolar disorders – this is a mental health issue whose symptoms include extreme lows and highs in a person’s mood and energy. These abrupt shifts can negatively impact the victim’s life. Bipolar disorder can have either manic or depressive symptoms. Manic symptoms include excessive restlessness, energy, activity, racing thoughts, rapid talking, irritability, a euphoric feeling, and so on. Bipolar disorder can be further classified into Bipolar I disorder and Bipolar II disorder.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) – this is a depressive disorder that has a seasonal pattern. For most people, SAD symptoms start during the fall and intensify during the winter. The symptoms include a general feeling of lethargy and moodiness, which could develop into a depression during the spring and early summer.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) – this is a type of mood disorder where the victim tends to worry a lot for no apparent reason. This condition normally develops if a person cannot cope with internal stress. In some instances, it could be a side effect of certain substances or drugs. GAD is diagnosed if you are constantly worrying for at least six months.
Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder – this is a common mood disorder in children below the age of 18. It is characterized by episodes of extremely violent and uncontrollable behavior.
Others – other forms of mood disorders are caused by medical conditions, illnesses, medications, or drug use and abuse. For instance, persons with terminal diseases such as cancer can experience bouts of depression. Also, people with drug use disorders expose themselves to toxins which could bring about mood disorders.

We Love Our Clients

When I arrived at Pathways, I was extremely depressed, full of anxiety, and addicted to drugs. It took some time, but now I am happy and I have tools to manage a much lower level of anxiety. I have been clean for 21 months. Pathways offers medication assisted therapy (MAT), which can help addicts be successful in staying clean. They also offer genetic testing, which helps you find out which medications are most compatible with your body, if you are in need of medication. The staff at Pathways care about clients and are willing to go the extra mile to help them. I am very grateful to Pathways for their patience with me and for giving me the tools I needed to be a happy, whole person. I am very grateful to Michelle and her staff for never giving up on me.

This program changed my life- Michelle is so committed to helping others and making change happen. I remember when I needed help she was there for my family and I answering 3am phone calls talking us through everything. She has a heart of gold and the staff here is so supportive. Definitely the dream team I needed to help me grow into the person I am today. I was in treatment for a year, but oh was it so worth it! I still use and practice my affirmations to this day. It’s such a powerful thing being able to apply everything you learn at Pathways into your daily life. Even though life doesn’t get easier, you can learn how to cope and manage your way through it. 💛

Michelle has been awesome, she's always super supportive and caring. The entire staff team, therapists, and doctor are all great as well. I've been to several other centers in the past with no success, however pathways was able to help me where other places couldn't. I highly suggest atleast meeting with Michelle and checking the place out!

💚💚💚Pathways wholeness Center is undoubtedly a divinely built and Powerful program that shifted my belief system and overall quality of life.Throughout my life I have experienced sexual abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, and deep negative belief systems. Although on the surface I had great success in life, I have never felt whole and healthy until working with Michelle and the amazing staff at pathways.Rather than just putting a bandaid on the surface to cover the cause of my trauma/addiction, Pathways worked on the core cause of the trauma, while healing problems from the inside out. The philosophy and execution of this program is absolutely life-changing.The facility is very clean and nice. They provide great nutritious meals and comfortable living conditions. Lots of fun hiking trips, and social interaction while learning to have joy without using drugs or alcohol. The staff is second to none, full of love and willing to help however they can.If you are considering a better life away from the prison of addiction and or mental disorders, this is the best of the best!!!!💚💚💚💚

I came to Pathways to get help with severe anxiety and depression. I had tried medication after medication, therapy, ketamine treatments, exercise, and diet changes but I still heavily struggled to get myself to do the most basic of human tasks. With the help and unconditional support of staff and mutual clients, I was able to build a foundation of self love and hope. They focus not on what’s wrong with you, but on what’s good. They teach you that everyone is already happy and whole and they work with you individually and in a group setting to help you start believing it. I can’t explain how safe and comforted I feel with this facility and all the incredible staff. Inpatient is warm and welcoming, the beds are amazing, and food is great. Outpatient is welcoming and so incredibly helpful. Everyone is ridiculously patient with you and your struggles/needs. I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with mental health or addiction.

I have been amazed at the difference Pathways has made in the life of my son. I researched several centers and everything was about the money until I talked to Michelle. I could genuinely feel her concern from our first phone call. I have seldom found someone so committed to making a difference. She allowed my son to stay even when we were still trying to work out insurance. She said, "I want to do things the right way." Michelle has kept all of her promises to my son and allowed him to trust again. Michelle, Katrina, Wendy and the rest of the team never gave up through some very difficult moments. We finally have a diagnosis which is allowing us to move forward with a plan. The genuine love given freely at Pathways is giving my son back his life. We will be forever grateful.

Pathways Real Life Recovery has been one of the most outstanding blessing I’ve received in my life. It’s help me go from homeless on drugs and depressed to sheltered loved and sober. The employees treat you with patience kindness and love. I’ve never felt more at home with any other treatment program. Thank you Pathways Real Life Recovery, you’ve really changed the direction of my life in a positive manner.

My therapist Hayley is the best. She will be straightforward with the truth while being sweet and accommodating to my mental illness. I always feel challenged and loved all at the same time. Hayley is the best therapist ever!!!

Pathways has been an amazing program for me. I travelled from out of state to participate in the program and it was worth every mile of red-eye travel. It took me a few weeks to really be open to the style of treatment they provide, however, the patience and understanding allowed me to truly find my authentic self and begin the process to heal from my trauma. I enjoyed the fitness recreation part of the program that encourages a healthy body for a health mental well being. Our bodies require a healthy hygiene routine, so our mental wellness also requires a proper routine to maintain healthy “mental hygiene.”

Pathways is a great program. Michelle cares so much for everyone here. Keeping your vision in mind, goals, affirmations, and belief changes while dealing with root problems is a great process. I recommend Jaryd as a recovery specialist he is the best.

I think that Pathways does amazing things for their clients. Michelle's vision of making yourself healthy and whole to fight addiction and mental health issues really works. It's about self-love and finding the root cause of your issues, rather than just talking about the symptoms.

I have been coming to pathways for a few months now for mental health. I think this place is great. The therapists are awesome and on point they are all very knowledgeable with what they do. They offer groups and individual sessions and I feel like I learn something knew each day to help me on my journey. I would and have recommended pathways to family and friends

Michelle and the team at Pathways are a godsend.My husband has been struggling with a serious mental illness for over a decade which eventually led to dangerous self medication. Life became unmanageable. Five years ago, he recognized he needed help, and has been to countless (10+) treatment centers since. Before checking into Pathways, he was inpatient at Odyssey House and sober for 5 months. While there, he was hospitalized 3 times for his mental health. We were desperate for support, but couldn't find it outside of treatment for acute mental health episodes and addiction as a primary diagnosis. Like many others, his primary diagnosis is his mental illness, and his substance abuse is a symptom of that. Pathways sees that, and treats that.Pathways is the first place he's been where he truly feels like he has the support he needs to begin his unique, individual journey to healing. Pathways treats the individual, not the label or diagnosis. They have helped my husband identify the root causes of his illness, and have helped him connect the dots, find the common threads, between his mental health and substance abuse.Their approach to treating the whole person, the individual and their loved ones, is unparalleled. They recognize the importance of love, support and connection, and invite families to be a part of the healing process.Michelle is exceptional- extraordinarily dedicated, brilliant and connected. Her progressive approach and genuine care have given us real hope and optimism for the first time in years.Thank you, Pathways, for helping my husband become healthy and whole.

I have really enjoyed my time at Pathways. They have helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. I have a genuine care for all of the staff and other clients here. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. They work really hard to find schedules that work for everyone, and care for each of their clients on an individual basis. I am grateful for coming to Pathways, and working here for the last few months. I would recommend to a loved one.

I appreciate all that Pathways has done for me. They brought me to a place where I can use my voice and stand up for myself. I worked on affirmations and realized as I kept repeating the affirmations that they became true. The belief changes changed my life. Turning a negative belief that I believed to be true because of what was told to me as a child to a positive statement gave me a chance to live my life in a healthy way. Having the opportunity at Pathways made my life better and I am grateful to have met everyone such as Michelle. Michelle gave me (and my mom) the help that I need and deserve. I feel as though Pathways saved me. I am now able to live a positive and successful life as I continue my journey. Thank you to everyone at Pathways and I appreciate all that you have done for my family and I. Katie, New Jersey

Pathways has done so much for me I can’t even begin to explain... I love how we get to the actual root of our problems and begin to restructure how the brain responds to certain situations. This is help I’ve needed for a very long time and I am so grateful to be able to have this experience and opportunity.

Coming into Pathways I was struggling pretty intensely and trying to really discover who I was. After being here for the last few months I've been able to gain a sense of identity and purpose that I didn't know was possible. It's fantastic to see that the staff is so invested in everyone's individual needs. Even though there are hiccups here and there - the messaging is consistent and the care is just phenomenal. I wouldn't be able to move forward as I am today without their help.

Ryley Hales

18:37 30 Jan 20

I showed up to Pathways in very bad shape. Struggling with a ~10 year addiction, I had given up on myself. Laying in my bed, tossing and turning, I called a friend and said "take me back to treatment." She didn't even tell me where she was taking me. Michelle welcomed me with open arms. "We will get you down to Glenwood, and start loving on you." That's exactly what happened. I've been to many treatment centers but Pathways showed me how to shed the identity of "I am a drug addict." I was taught how to change my thoughts. Who would have thought that gaining self awareness/self love would allow me to be more in control, more stable, worthy, good enough, and believe that I DO MATTER?! The inpatient facility in Glenwood was where my recovery began. In one group we did a belief change where the recovery staff didn't let me back down. They pushed me in a healthy way until I blurted out "if I was good enough, I wouldn't need substances to get me through my day!" I'm a 31 year old man and I cried. The next couple days I was still in shock from the massive light bulb that went off. I became aware that I was a prisoner to my thoughts. My life has been changed forever. Michelle, the OWNER, has been present throughout my entire treatment, constantly checking in with me to see where I am--mentally/physically. My own parents don't offer me the love and care that I receive from Pathways. The transition from inpatient to day treatment was perfectly timed. I am currently living in their sober house and still to this day, ALL my needs are met. I've been given the opportunity at a new life. I realized that I hit 120 days clean yesterday. I went from wanting to throw my life away to being excited about what my future holds. I still have my ups and downs, but I have this new shiny set of tools to get me through each day. I remember (day 1 of my recovery) sitting on the couch in the front office, miserable, thinking who the hell are these people?...why are they treating me so well?...if they only knew the kind of person I am...I don't deserve this love and support. Pathways treats you like the beautiful, capable human being that you are. Thank you Michelle, thank you Pathways.

We were in need of helping one of my children with addiction/anxiety problem. We personally visited a number of facilities because I felt I would get a better feel for which would be the best fit. At that time my son was in a week detox facility. When we met Michelle she was able to explain how the process would be approached, the flow from addiction through recovery process. She was straight forward explaining this is a process with phases that blend together depending on how the person is taking responsibility for their own recovery, etc. She said she wanted to go to the detox facility and meet with my son, which she did. She had told us that she would be glad to pick him up and personally drive him to the Glenwood facility and start the program if we wanted. Which she did as well. I learned Michelle has many years of experience in this field of healthcare and has developed a system so to speak that aims at the core of addictions, etc to get to the true causes of why this is happening. My son has been a challenge in that he would not participate much in the beginning at Pathways. Everyone on the Pathways team were patient with him, showed him respect and love which I can’t thank them enough for. My sons respect for Michelle, Wendy & Bev (and the rest of the staff) began growing as I could hear it in his voice when we had phone conversations. I could feel it in his hugs when we visited. He is seeing things from a different perspective now than before he entered Pathways and to me that is a direct reflection of the top of the Pathways organization. On top of all that, they helped us maneuver through the insurance process, getting that in order so the finances were addressed. We made the right decision coming to Pathways because they really love my son and know he will get even better and better. I fully recommend Michelle and the Pathways organization to anyone reading this today! Thankyou Michelle!

Pathways is an amazing facility! They have completely transformed my life into hope and happiness. I suffered from a brain injury that really impacted my life severely. After a month I already noticed improvement in my mood and how I felt about life after my injury. I have now been treated for 5 months and I feel happy, hopeful, and optimistic about my life. It has forever changed, but now I see the good thanks to Pathway!

I’ve recently visited this beautiful facility! Having worked at other residential treatment centers I had an expectation. This facility is large and the rooms are beautiful! It’s calm and a happy place for those who come to get help! This facility is not your typical residential treatment center, this program is a program of choice and that’s huge for those seeking recovery! I recommend this place!

I am so absolutely grateful for this program: it has saved my life . The bottom line for me is I have never loved myself. I have never realized how the brain is effected by childhood trauma and abuse. I learn so much about the disease of addiction. I’ve learned so much about why I have been the way I have been my whole life . The therapists are so amazing and full of knowledge and support . I didn’t have anywhere to go from treatment and they welcomed me with open arms . The program is based on learning to love yourself so that you have the tools and confidence to make a beautiful life for yourself. I have never felt so much love and kindness in a program before . I have been trying to get clean for over a decade. This is the first time I feel solid HOPE. If I wouldn’t hav found pathways I don’t know where I would be : thank you so much Payhways for saving my life and assisting me in the recovery of a broken soul. ❤️

Pathways helped me navigate one of the most difficult life challenges I have ever experienced. This summer I made the choice to reach out for help. It was at a time when I was so desperate, scared and vulnerable. From the very first interaction, the staff at Pathways showed compassion and consideration for my situation. I never once felt judged, ashamed or unsupported. I met Michelle (the owner) the same day I called in asking for her help. Michelle took the time to meet with me and my husband despite her plans to get on a plane that afternoon. Michelle made me and my family a priority. I recently graduated from the Intensive Outpatient Program at Pathways and I will be celebrating my 5 months of sobriety tomorrow 10/2/19. Its difficult to find the words to describe my appreciation. Pathways helped me find my self worth and self love so that I no longer choose alcohol to numb out. My actions now align with my goals and values. I am certainly proud of myself today. Pathways is part of my success story. I absolutely would have reached out sooner had I known just how much it was going to help me and my family. It’s hard work, and it’s the best investment I’ve ever made in my own well-being. Thank you Pathways for everything you have done, you truly are amazing.

This place is an answer to prayers. The staff Are experienced, skilled and engaged.They say that an addict needs to want to make the changes for him or herself and make the changes for the right reasons Which is absolutely true. That is what is so special about this recovery center.

Pathways has been a life saver for me. I was at my lowest low when I started there. And now I am feeling better than I have in years. Great staff and clients. Gave them 4 instead of 5 stars because at the time I was there, there was a lot of staff turnover and a period of drama among some clients that probably could have been handled better. But their program is amazing. I highly recommend pathways if you are struggling emotionally or dealing with addiction.

I did a lot of research for months on finding the right program for me. I wanted to treat and heal all aspects of me and learn new life skills, and be able to find peace and happiness through strengthening processing and adapting to life stressors and panic attacks. After just my first month at Pathways I already feel so much stronger, better, safer and am part of a program and group with support beyond my expectations. I am thankful for every minute I have been involved in this program and look forward to continue on my new path of healing and healthy mental, emotional and physical choices. The entire staff at Pathways is easy to work with and compassionate. You feel a genuine sense of caring and loving and part of a welcoming team and family. Thank you so much Michelle and everyone at Pathways, including not only the staff, but the wonderful group of people going through the program by my side every step of the way.
