Adult Psychiatry
The Spectrum of Working-Age Mental Health Conditions
Mental health challenges can affect individuals at any stage of adulthood, often influenced by the pressures of work, personal relationships, and life transitions. Balancing career demands with family responsibilities and health can place a considerable emotional strain on wellbeing. At The Clinica, we offer specialist support to working-age adults navigating a wide range of mental health concerns, with personalised care designed to restore balance and resilience.
What is it?
The working years often bring periods of both fulfilment and stress. Whether it's adjusting to a new job, managing long-term career expectations, experiencing relationship changes, or coping with loss or illness, these transitions can have a significant impact on mental health. When emotional difficulties persist, they can begin to affect everyday functioning—impacting sleep, concentration, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Mental health conditions during this stage of life are often complex and may not fit into a single diagnostic category. It's not uncommon for individuals to experience more than one issue at a time, such as anxiety alongside low mood, or stress coexisting with sleep difficulties. Identifying these challenges early and seeking support can be vital in preventing longer-term complications and promoting recovery.

Additional Information
Conditions We Support
At The Clinica, we provide assessment and treatment for a wide range of conditions experienced by working-age adults. These include anxiety (such as generalised anxiety, social anxiety, and panic attacks), stress and adjustment difficulties following events like bereavement or redundancy, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, bipolar affective disorder, personality difficulties, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), problematic alcohol or drug use, and disordered eating. Treatment is tailored to each individual, recognising that symptoms may overlap and fluctuate depending on life circumstances.
When To Consider Seeking Support
You may benefit from support if you are experiencing persistent low mood, anxiety, or fear that interferes with your daily life. Difficulty adapting to change, disruptions to sleep, appetite, or concentration, or problems maintaining relationships at work or at home may also be signs to seek help. If you notice an increasing reliance on unhealthy coping strategies—such as alcohol, avoidance, or overwork—or find yourself withdrawing from others or losing interest in activities you once enjoyed, early intervention can make a lasting difference.
