Adults are presented with many life challenges including marriage, child bearing and rearing, divorce, medical illness, work, social stress, and caring for aging parents. Middle aged adults, particularly women, begin going through body changes that occur naturally with age.

Among the more common behavioral health disorders that may be diagnosed in adults are ADHD, mood disorder, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, eating disorders and weight management concerns, and substance use disorders. Adults also struggle with weight management concerns, along with women’s health issues including post-partum depression and menopause.
