At Reshaping Pathways, we believe knowledge is the first step toward healing. For many adults, navigating mental health can feel overwhelming, especially with so many conditions that overlap, share symptoms, or carry stigma. Our mission is to provide clear, compassionate, and expert guidance that helps adults recognize what they may be experiencing—and know that they don’t have to face it alone.

This overview brings together the 11 core areas of adult mental health we focus on at Reshaping Pathways. Each condition has its own in-depth article, but here we’ll highlight the essentials, offer context, and share pathways toward support.

1. Anxiety

Anxiety is more than worry—it can be constant tension, racing thoughts, and physical symptoms that disrupt daily life. Our adult anxiety guide explains how to recognize symptoms, why anxiety is so common, and the tools available for calm and balance.

2. Depression

Depression is often invisible, woven into daily life as exhaustion, withdrawal, or lack of interest. Our article shows how to recognize subtle signs, why depression is more than sadness, and which treatments bring hope.

3. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not about “bad memories.” It’s about a nervous system that continues to live in survival mode after trauma. Our guide highlights symptoms, breaks stigma, and explores therapies like EMDR and CBT that support recovery.

4. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) 

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) doesn’t end in childhood. Adults often experience disorganization, time blindness, or emotional intensity. Our ADHD article breaks myths, highlights realities, and provides strategies for thriving at work and home.

5. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), historically used for the inattentive type of ADHD, reflects difficulties with focus, follow-through, and organization without hyperactivity. Our ADD article shares how adults can manage symptoms with strategies, therapy, and self-compassion.

6. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not about “being neat.” It’s about cycles of intrusive thoughts and compulsions that can consume hours of daily life. Our OCD article separates myth from reality and highlights evidence-based treatments like ERP therapy.

7. Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder involves more than mood swings. It includes distinct episodes of depression and mania or hypomania that can disrupt work, relationships, and health. Our bipolar guide explains the different types, treatment options, and why stability is possible.

9. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

BPD is often mislabeled as “manipulative” or “untreatable,” but the reality is that it’s rooted in emotional sensitivity and fear of abandonment. Our BPD article highlights the hope found in therapies like DBT and the importance of compassion in treatment.

10. Autism

11. Defiant Behavior

While defiance is normal sometimes, persistent resistance and argumentativeness can disrupt work, relationships, and growth. Our adult defiance article explores why it happens, often rooted in trauma or co-occurring conditions, and shares strategies for reshaping these patterns.
