Military Mental Health Treatment

Achieve Medical Center is proud to offer a wide array of mental health services for both active duty and retired military members, especially for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Our providers, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, therapists and others can help with psychiatric medication management and psychotherapy for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, PTSD, and many other mental health conditions. We work closely with our patients and their families to provide them with high quality service with the goal of delivering long-term relief from depression and anxiety.

Depression is a mental health condition that impacts a person’s behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. People dealing with depression may struggle to go to work, attend school, or perform everyday activities. Meanwhile, if the symptoms of depression linger, they may put an individual and their relationships with friends and family in danger.

Anxiety is also a mental health condition, though it can be normal in certain stressful or high-pressure situations. Symptoms of anxiety can be indicative of an underlying disease such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder when the symptoms increase in frequency and intensity, and begin to impact activities of daily life, thereby preventing a person from enjoying their life.

Mental Health Services For Military Members & Their Families

Mental health treatment for military families in San Diego and other regions across the United States is sometimes difficult to find. Achieve Medical Center is proud to offer a variety of options to ensure that active and retired military personnel and their spouses receive the support they need to alleviate their symptoms, either those stemming from combat or from other stressors and complicating factors in their lives. In addition, Achieve Medical Center also recognizes that military spouses can struggle as they are often away from their loved ones for extended periods of time, which can also take a toll.

At Achieve Medical Center, we want to make it easy for servicemembers and their families to find the right mental health treatment. To accomplish our goal, we are proud to provide a broad array of services.
