Mental Health & Depression Care

Just as we care for the physical body, Interim HealthCare’s team of qualified psychiatric nurses, counselors, and social workers can support the care and treatment of mental illness.

What is Mental Health and Depression Home Care?

Whether changes in your loved one’s mental health are in response to major life events or are the result of a mental illness, mental health home care helps your loved one effectively manage these feelings, symptoms, and associated behaviors. By working with your loved one’s existing team of primary care providers, specialists, psychiatrists, and/or psychologists, our healthcare professionals create a depression home care plan supporting your loved one’s treatment and management of daily life. Mental health care in the home can include management of medication, creation of structure and routine, assistance with exercising, and providing social support.

How Do I Know if My Loved One Needs Mental Health Assistance?

Each mental health condition has its own set of signs and symptoms. In general, however, professional assessment and help may be needed if someone:

Has a noticeable, serious change in personality, eating, or sleeping patterns
Is unable to deal with problems or daily activities
Has strange or grandiose ideas
Show excessive anxiety when facing daily life
Feels depression or not caring about usual life for over two weeks
Thinking or talking about suicide
Abuses substances such as drugs or alcohol
Displays extreme mood swings or excessive anger, hostility or violent behavior
