Mental health is a unique experience for each person with a diverse set of underlying causes and symptoms. However, recovery from a mental health condition is possible. At The Banyans, we provide tailored mental health treatment to help you experience the fullness of life once again.
This page will go through the common mental health conditions, symptoms of these conditions, mental health treatment and strategies to manage your mental health condition.
The Banyans offer treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions. For conditions not listed below, please enquire with our team.
Each mental health condition has its own set of specific symptoms. For example, anxiety symptoms include excessive worrying about things going wrong and an increased heart rate, whereas ADHD symptoms include difficulty focusing and forgetfulness.
However, there are some common mental health symptoms across most conditions. These include:
Some people may only experience mental health symptoms for a short amount of time or in response to a life event, such as a relationship breakdown or losing a job. However, for some people, they experience these mental health symptoms for a prolonged period of time. In this case, a mental health practitioner may make a mental health diagnosis.
Some of the most commonly diagnosed mental health conditions include
Depression affects one in five Australians each year, which is almost five million people. Depression has many forms, and a large variety of symptoms. An individual experiencing depression is typically characterised by ongoing feelings of sadness, loneliness or apathy towards many (if not all) areas of life.
Anxiety conditions are one of the most widespread mental health conditions in Australia, affecting almost one in seven people each year, and one in four people in their lifetime. Anxiety conditions are not often developed by a single cause, but often by numerous “triggers” or experiences that are left unresolved.
Burnout is an extreme case of chronic stress. Chronic stress may lead an individual to become detached and disinterested in daily activities. Characterised by consistent physical and emotional exhaustion, the intense fatigue can lead to continual feelings of resentment, cynicism and pessimism.

Bipolar disorder is a complex condition, and can be quite troubling to those who experience its highs and lows. Bipolar disorder is characterised by dramatic swings in mood, where people may experience extreme mania and deep depression – sometimes within hours or as long as months.
Difficult and traumatic life experiences can leave a lasting impact on our physical and emotional wellbeing. Everyone responds differently to trauma, with some people being completely unaware of trauma being the underlying cause of their unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a common anxiety condition that effects almost 12% of Australians in their lifetime. Although stereotypically known by veterans and those who have completely military service, serious car accidents and acts of violence are the most common causes of PTSD.
The adjustment process of grief can apply to many situations, not just the loss of life. You may grieve over the loss of the loved one, a relationship (in the case of divorce or separation), a role, employment and more. Grief is complex, but can be overcome with appropriate therapeutic support.
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety condition that affects 2% of Australian’s each year. Although the condition can emerge at any stage of life, a significant proportion of individuals with OCD begin recognising their symptoms of obsession and/or compulsion during adolescence. There are a diverse number of contributing factors to the development of obsessive compulsive disorder, and with proper professional support, OCD is manageable and recovery is possible.
Mental health conditions are complex, and every person’s experience of them is different. This is why mental health treatment shouldn’t just be a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. Instead, each element of The Banyans treatment is tailored for you. Before providing a program recommendation, our Intake and Clinical Teams will do a thorough assessment to ensure the program you do is right for you.
Our approach to treatment is based on our medical, psychological, nutritional, and physical pillars of recovery, and this wrap-around approach to healthcare is what makes our mental health treatment so unique.
The Banyans understand that people seek help for mental health conditions at different times in their life stage and are motivated by different needs. Your program for mental health support will be developed after a clinical assessment with a member of our senior team, depending on severity, duration of experience, medication and personal circumstances.
