Understanding Mental Health

Mental health is one of the most crucial aspects of a person’s overall well-being and their ability to function happily in life. When experiencing optimal mental health, we are able to cope with daily life. Unfortunately, for millions of Americans, poor mental health is a harsh reality that makes life difficult and often unbearable. It’s estimated that one in five U.S. adults will live with a mental health disorder in their lifetime.

Common Mental Health Disorders: Understanding the Signs and Symptoms

Even though millions of adults are diagnosed with mental health disorders every year, there are millions more who may not even know they have a condition. Understanding the signs and symptoms is a crucial first step towards stabilizing and maintaining your mental illness symptoms. 

Common mental health conditions include bipolar disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Each condition varies significantly from one to the next, but some common signs and symptoms to look out for may include feelings of sadness, isolation, suicidal thoughts, inconsistent sleep patterns, poor eating habits, and difficulty concentrating. 

Many people who experience a mental health disorder can often find it hard to cope with life’s usual stressors or function in day-to-day activities, work, or family life.

What Is Mental Health? A Foundation for Well-Being

Even though the reality of mental health can feel overwhelming, there is more support and understanding available today than ever before. Research continues to highlight the importance of viewing mental health as a core part of overall well-being—affecting how you handle stress, make decisions, and navigate daily life.

At Ocean View Psychiatric Health Facility, we recognize how essential mental health is during times of crisis. Our role is to provide short-term, stabilization-focused psychiatric care that helps patients regain safety, clarity, and emotional balance so they can continue their mental health journey with an outpatient provider after discharge.

Deepening your understanding of your mental health—and accessing the right level of support when symptoms become unmanageable—is a key step toward strengthening your overall well-being.

With Ocean View, you’ll experience stabilization-focused care that provides structure and support without stigma. With your input, we build partnerships with medical and behavioral health services so you can transition from us to your daily life. We do this through providing comprehensive mental health services that are accessible to everyone. 

  • On-site Team of Psychiatrists: Our on-site psychiatrists provide medication stabilization, monitoring, and management. Your well-being is vital throughout your stay in our inpatient mental health crisis facility and our outpatient services.

  • Patient Resource Network: Transitioning from inpatient or outpatient treatment can be overwhelming. That’s why we have an opt-in patient follow-up option. You don’t have to be alone in managing your symptoms.

Our Levels of Care for Those Struggling With Their Mental Health

Understanding the different levels of care available can help you make informed decisions about your mental health treatment. At Ocean View, we offer comprehensive options tailored to meet varying needs, from intensive inpatient programs to supportive outpatient services. Our goal is to provide the appropriate level of care to promote wellness and stability.

Inpatient Psychiatric Care

Individuals presenting with psychiatric symptoms can be admitted to Ocean View’s inpatient unit. Because mental health challenges present in a variety of ways, some of the criteria for admission include:

  • Insomnia, racing thoughts, impulsivity, rapid or pressured speech
  • Abnormal bouts of euphoric energy 
  • Reckless behavior or making decisions that affect an individual’s safety or well-being 
  • Inability to provide shelter, food, and safety as a result of mental impairment
  • Helplessness, hopelessness
  • Suicidal or homicidal ideations 
  • Psychosis 
  • Self-harming behaviors
Once you’re admitted, your team will develop a treatment plan that includes aftercare planning. Your treatment plan will be evaluated daily to reflect clinical improvement and make adjustments as needed.

Personalized Care

Ocean View’s inpatient program provides personalized, empathetic, comprehensive care. Our care team provides:

  • Licensed psychiatric care
  • 24/7 nursing and monitoring
  • 6 daily group sessions
  • Psychoeducational groups that focus on understanding acute psychosis and its symptoms
  • Therapeutic recreation sessions that support emotional regulation and engagement through structured activities such as art, painting, and music
  • Coping skills development to help with symptom management and quieting negative thoughts or feelings
  • Patients are placed in groups based on the severity of their symptoms

Medication Stabilization

Medication management is a key part of our inpatient crisis stabilization, where medications are carefully reviewed and prescribed based on each individual’s medical history, needs, and potential side effects. If a patient is experiencing agitation or other symptoms, appropriate medications may be used to help manage these issues safely. Continuous monitoring allows our healthcare team to make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal care and safety throughout treatment.

Outpatient Levels of Care

Ocean View’s outpatient levels of care follow an inpatient stay or when symptoms aren’t acute enough to warrant hospitalization. Once your symptoms are evaluated, you will be admitted to either our partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP). Both levels of care provide a safe, structured care that supports your symptom management.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Our PHP offers a more structured level of care compared to our IOP. While here, you will engage in care that enhances your coping skills, life skills, and independence. The structured care includes:
  • Four group sessions a day that meet five days a week
  • Sessions that include a psychoeducational group led by a social worker and a therapeutic recreation support session led by a recreation therapist
  • Case management
  • Snacks and lunch

Intensive Outpatient Program

While our IOP is a structured level of care, we focus on providing the same secure, enjoyable, and compassionate care found in our inpatient and PHP levels of care. However, we also include:
  • Focused coping skills
  • Community reintegration

Continued Medication Management Support With Our PHP and IOP

After your acute psychosis symptoms and medication are stabilized, you will transition to a lower level of care, and you will receive medication management services. Both our PHP and IOP provide continued medication management under the care of our psychiatric team.

Aftercare & Opt-In Patient Follow-Up

Your aftercare plan isn’t developed as you approach returning to your life away from us. When you first create your treatment plan, you start planning your transition back into the real world. Our treatment team understands the importance of an individualized aftercare plan that addresses issues you face in the real world. Our personalized approach includes:
  • Case manager support
  • Outpatient transitions
  • Housing or facility placements
  • Community support referrals
Our Opt-In Patient Follow-Up (Patient Resource Network) continues to provide support and encouragement after you transition back into your life. 

The Importance of Mental Health Care: Seeking Support and Finding Solutions

No one’s mental health is picture-perfect. Most people will work on their mental health in some way, shape, or form for most of their lives. For the millions of Americans struggling with mental health disorders, finding the right support and solutions is absolutely vital, especially when every person comes to the table with their own unique set of circumstances and needs. This is why Ocean View puts such a strong emphasis on comprehensive and individualized care. 

No two mental health disorders are the same, just as no two human beings are the same. Finding the right care that suits you best can be the difference between a life of lasting happiness and a constant uphill battle when it comes to your mental health.
