What is mental health?

The team at Arbor Mental Health & Family Medical Center LLC believes that your mental health is equal to your physical health in its importance. While experiencing a range of emotions is part of the human experience, certain mental health conditions can have an enormous impact on your emotional well-being. They can also affect your thoughts and behaviors. 

During your initial visit to Arbor Mental Health & Family Medical Center LLC, the team provides an in-depth mental health assessment. They use this to identify any mental health diagnoses you have and can then develop a personalized care plan for you.
