UBH Denton Corporate Medical Director Will Teach Women How to Take Charge of Their Mental Health
Dallas, TX, September 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Women are traditionally the nurturers in the family, making sure their spouses and children are well taken care of, but they need to take care of themselves as well, especially when it comes to their mental health.
That is what Dr. Nishendu Vasavada, corporate medical director of University Behavioral Health Denton, will tell the Power of a Healthy Woman conference when he speaks at the annual event on Saturday, September 25, at Texas Woman’s University.
“Because women are so active in the workplace, socially, and at home with their families, there are many aspects of their lives in which setbacks of one kind or another can lead to mental health issues,” says Dr. Vasavada. “They need to know what types of symptoms to look for, and once they find them, how to seek the proper kind of help.”
Among its other specialty programs, University Behavioral Health Denton, an Ascend Health Corporation mental health hospital and substance abuse treatment center, provides in-patient and outpatient care to women in its Exclusively Women program. The program is designed to help women heal together and develop healthy lifestyles and coping skills to manage their emotional lives.
One point that Dr. Vasavada will make in his conference presentation, titled “Women, Take Charge of Your Mental Health,” is the importance of a holistic approach to the mental health care that women seek.
“You can’t simply see a doctor or a therapist and expect everything to change,” Dr. Vasavada explains. “You have to work on changing many parts of your situation. You can’t ignore your physical health, your exercise, the ways you cope with stress and relax, and your nutrition. If you change only one thing, only part of you will get better.”
In addition, Dr. Vasavada says, “If a woman isn’t seeing results from her therapy, it means that something needs to be done differently. It may require a change in therapists, or a change in the way the woman herself is dealing with her therapy and the changes she needs to make.”
Dr. Vasavada’s presentation will be at 9:50 a.m. on September 25, at the Hubbard Hall Building on the campus of Texas Woman’s University. On-site registration that day is on a space-available basis.
With facilities in Denton and Carrollton, University Behavioral Health focuses not only on women’s unique needs, but also has specialty programs that focus on individuals with multiple mental health disorders or a combination of mental illness and drug or alcohol dependency; active duty military members, as well as veterans, retirees, and their families; and people of faith, in a program that merges professional counseling and Biblical principles.
University Behavioral Health serves these segments as well as a broad range of other patients, from children as young as 5 through adolescents, adults, and mature adults. In all its programs, University Behavioral Health relies on evidence-based mental health care, in which evidence gained from scientific methods is applied to medical decision making in order to deliver the most positive outcomes.
