We are seeing unprecedented demand for treatment of anxiety, depression, and ADHD across all age groups in our community. Our evidence-based approach delivers proven, effective care for all ages.”

SAN BERNADINO, CA, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Diligence Care Plus, a leading provider of integrated psychiatric and mental health care services, today announced expanded capacity and specialized treatment programs to meet the surging demand for mental health services in San Bernardino County, with particular focus on evidence-based treatments for anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

The expansion directly responds to the nationwide mental health crisis, where 1 in 5 Americans suffers from a mental illness and 57.8 million adults (19% of the country) had a mental illness in 2024, but only 43% received any kind of mental health care. With 19.1% of adults having had an anxiety disorder within the last year, 13.1% of U.S. adolescents and adults age 12 and older experiencing depression in a given 2-week period, and 21.4% of US adults having any mood disorder in their lifetime, the demand for specialized, evidence-based care has never been greater.

Addressing the Most Prevalent Mental Health Conditions
"We are seeing unprecedented demand for treatment of anxiety, depression, and ADHD across all age groups in our community," said Eric Efuetngu,
DNP, FNP-C, APRN at Diligence Care Plus. "These conditions are among the most common mental health challenges affecting both children and adults, and our evidence-based approach ensures that patients receive the most effective, scientifically-proven treatments available."

The alarming statistic that 17.2% of high school students report having serious thoughts of suicide underscores the critical need for immediate, comprehensive mental health intervention in the region.

Evidence-Based Treatment Programs Include:

Anxiety Treatment:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy
- Mindfulness-based anxiety reduction techniques
- Medication management with anti-anxiety medications when appropriate
- Family therapy to address anxiety's impact on relationships

Depression Treatment:
- Individual psychotherapy using proven therapeutic modalities
- Medication management with antidepressant medications
- Interpersonal therapy for depression
- Behavioral activation therapy
- Integrated care addressing both mental and physical health factors

ADHD Testing and Treatment:
- Comprehensive ADHD diagnostic assessments for children and adults
- Behavioral interventions and coaching strategies
- Medication management with stimulant and non-stimulant options
- Family education and support programs
- School and workplace accommodation planning
