MPHG is a medical group designed to address your mental health needs. When a person is in crisis, whether it is a traumatic event, physical illness or life circumstance, he or she can be affected on many different levels. The mind, body and brain all work together and at times when the body is shutting down due to a physical illness that can also cause a lot of emotional distress. For example, chronic pain is highly correlated with depression, as our pain signals are processed in the brain. Each person is different and has their own way of dealing with life stressors. Sometimes, when life stressors get out of control, they can impact the person in many unhealthy ways. The result of chronic stress can be poor coping behaviors, such as increased caffeine use, alcohol, substance use, food intake, gambling, social isolation and other negative behaviors. In addition, poor sleep can often be the result of chronic stress, which in turn affects cognitive functioning, such as alertness, memory, concentration, and your ability to organize yourself and your life. Since emotional difficulties are still often viewed as a "personal weakness" people often suffer in silence without friends and family members knowing. No matter where you are in the process, reaching out to a friend, family member or professional is a great first step.
