Exceptional mental health treatment in Birmingham, at Priory Hospital Woodbourne

We are able to provide expert treatment for a broad range of psychiatric conditions including:

Anxiety treatment in Birmingham

Whilst anxiety and worry are natural human emotions, if you find that you are experiencing anxiety that seems to be excessive, or heightened over a prolonged period of time, it may be that you are struggling with an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are characterised by overwhelming feelings of worry and dread and can cause a whole host of problems, affecting your relationships with others, your performance at work and your general quality of life.

Anxiety can present itself in many different ways and some of the debilitating symptoms that are associated with this disorder can sometimes act as a barrier to individuals accessing the specialist support that they need. However, it’s important to understand that you’re not alone and that evidence-based, expert treatment is available. Our anxiety treatment team at Woodbourne are dedicated to using tried and tested methods to help you to address the causes of your anxiety, reduce your symptoms, and resume the healthy and fulfilling life that you deserve.

Depression treatment in Birmingham

Depression is a serious mental health condition that is associated with individuals experiencing persistent and debilitating feelings of sadness and despair. Whilst we can all feel sad or upset on occasions, those who struggle with depression typically experience such devastating low moods that their ability to function, their physical and mental health, as well as how they think, feel and act on a daily basis, are significantly impaired.

Unfortunately, some of the characteristic symptoms of depression, including feeling hopeless, worthless, and lethargic, can often prevent people from seeking the depression help that they need. However, it’s important to recognise that your depression is unlikely to go away on its own, and seeking specialist treatment is the most crucial step that you can take towards overcoming your depression and regaining control of your life. Our depression treatment team at Woodbourne are dedicated to delivering bespoke depression treatment and help, empowering you to overcome your depression and achieve a sustainable recovery.

Stress treatment in Birmingham

We tend to experience stress in response to challenging or difficult circumstances, which cause us to feel intense emotional or mental strain. Unfortunately, in the context of modern working life, and the pressures that are associated with work, stress is becoming an increasingly common occurrence. Whilst it is normal for all of us to feel stressed from time-to-time, if you find that this is becoming more frequent, is excessive or difficult to cope with, and is causing you to feel both physically and emotionally exhausted, it may be that you require specialist support to overcome your stress.

Without expert treatment, chronic stress can become progressively worse and can have a hugely detrimental impact on both your personal and professional life. Our Woodbourne stress treatment team understand that stress can be difficult to cope with and as such, are committed to empowering you to address the source of your stress, and acquire effective coping mechanisms to help you to manage stress in healthier and more productive ways in the future.
