Life isn’t always simple. But when your mood, emotions, or thoughts are getting too difficult to handle, it’s time to turn to help. When looking for psychiatric treatment in Burlington, MA, recognize that help is close at hand—and healing can begin.
Here at Forrest Behavioral Health, we feel that you should receive caring, individualized attention to your mental health needs. If your story is one of years of diagnosis or discovering yourself struggling with an unexpected emotional change—we will catch you where you are—and accompany you on the path you are going.
Mental Health in Numbers: Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Mental illness is more prevalent than people know—and less treated than they should be.
Some data that may surprise you:
- 1 out of 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition every year.
- A mere 46.2% of individuals with mental illness get treated.
- Over 50% of mental illnesses start before age 14, and 75% before age 24.
The average time between when symptoms first appeared and when treatment began is 11 years.
Let that sink in: A decade or more may have passed since the person last visited a doctor. But it doesn’t always go down like this—not in Burlington, and not with Forrest BH on your side.
When Daily Life Feels Like a Struggle: What Psychiatric Treatment Can Do
If you’ve noticed that things like getting out of bed, focusing at work, or connecting with others feel more difficult than they should, psychiatric support can make all the difference.
Psychiatric treatment involves evaluating, diagnosing, and treating mental health disorders through medical and therapeutic methods. It can benefit anyone experiencing:
- Mood swings or irritability
- Constant worry or panic attacks
- Low energy, lack of motivation
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
- Intrusive thoughts or paranoia
- Social withdrawal or emotional numbing
- Changes in behaviour or personality
At Forrest BH in Burlington, MA, we address each of these signs with empathy, clinical expertise, and evidence-based treatment.
No Two Healing Paths Are Alike: Care That Fits You
No two paths to mental health are the same. That’s why we never adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your initial consultation usually consists of a psychiatric assessment, by which our experts can comprehend your experience, worries, and expectations. Based on this, we might suggest:
Medication Management
Your brain chemistry sometimes requires a little assistance. If needed, our qualified psychiatrists will assist in deciding on the correct drug, manage side effects, and change doses as required.
Individual Psychotherapy
Speak therapy (such as CBT or DBT) usually pairs with medication for long-term outcomes. We provide it through our therapy program.
Lifestyle Counseling
We assist you in making gradual, incremental shifts in sleep, nutrition, exercise, and social behaviour that enhance emotional regulation.
Long-Term Monitoring and Adjustments
Recovery is a journey. Your plan will evolve as you mature, with regular check-ins and advisement.

Myths That Deter People from Getting Help
There just are too many myths about psychiatric Treatment. Let’s dispel a few:
“Medication will alter who I am.”
Reality: Medications will level the playing field of your symptoms—not destroy your personality. Individuals feel like themselves for the most part when they’re finally medicated correctly.
“If I need help, I must be weak.”
Reality: Being strong enough to ask for help is a show of strength. It takes sheer guts to confront emotional pain and seek assistance.
“I can’t afford it.”
Truth: Forrest BH takes most insurance plans and provides clear pricing for self-pay patients.

The Science of Our Care
Psychiatric Treatment isn’t an educated guess—it’s founded in research. What research has taught us?
75% of those who are treated with psychotherapy find relief from symptoms.
Medication + therapy is more effective than medication or therapy alone for the majority of disorders like depression or anxiety.
These aren’t statistics. They’re real people—like you—who are finding relief, stability, and a path forward.
