Central Jersey Medical Center prioritizes mental health and wellness as they are practices that require ongoing attention. The month of May is an ideal time to begin or restart the process of caring for your mental and behavioral health. The CJMC offers compassionate on-site behavioral health services for a range of conditions, such as:
Anxiety: Anxiety is your body’s natural emotional reaction to stressful situations. Stress can cause feelings of worry or nervousness that arise without warning. An occasional bout of anxiety is normal, but it may become a problem when it is intense or ongoing, and that is the time to ask CJMC for help.
Depression: Depression can be a mild or severe condition that causes you to feel sad and empty resulting in no longer being able to enjoy the things you once did. It is treatable at Central Jersey Medical Center with therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these approaches.
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder): PTSD is recognized as a mental health disorder that may develop as a result of violence, accidents, natural disasters, combat, or after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. People may have flashbacks that forces them to avoid reminders of the event, or they may have a heightened startle reflex. Central Jersey Medical Center offers effective treatments, including therapy and medication, that can help people manage and recover over time.
Substance Use Disorder: Substance Use Disorder is treated at Central Jersey Medical Center's Perth Amboy location in the MAT wing of the center. CJMC's approach includes therapy and medication if needed, along with support to ensure ongoing recovery.
It's important to remember recovery from mental and behavioral health conditions is a process of small steps and setbacks, but also a process of victories. Ultimately, asking for help even when it feels uncomfortable is the right thing to do.
