Angela Davis of Cleveland knew she had to take quick action after suffering a mental health crisis last month, but she wasn't going to wait months to get private behavioral health counseling
“I had a situation at my job and I didn’t sleep for two days," Davis said. “I suffer from anxiety, I also suffer from PTSD, and I have an anger issue. I normally cry, or I’ll start screaming or pounding something.""So I got up and I actually went to the main campus of MetroHealth," she said."I told them what was going on and they put me in a little secluded area by myself.
Scott Osiecki, CEO of the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board of Cuyahoga County, acknowledged some are dealing with wait times of 3 to 6 months for private counseling. Osiecki said the ADAMHS Board of Cuyahoga County is working to increase wages for local mental healthcare professionals to help deal with a worker shortage responsible for longer wait times.
Additionally, he said if someone needs greater care, the 24-hour St. Vincent Psychiatric Emergency Department can help and could lead to hospitalization. The Cuyahoga County Crisis Stabilization Unit and crisis response team is also available for an at-home visit. "Exercise is also not only good for physical health, it’s also great for your mental health as well," Osiecki said."So take a walk, get outside, get some fresh air. Getting enough rest, eating nutritious meals and connecting with people, so connect with your family, connect with your friends."
