It’s time to put a spotlight on mental health. Newtown, Doylestown, and other Philadelphia-area residents are invited to take a closer look at their own psychological well-being throughout May with a goal of optimizing their mental health—thereby improving their quality of life.
Good mental health is important all year round, of course, but a specific time of year devoted to the subject may be just the catalyst you need to finally seek help for any mood- or behavior-impacting conditions you could be experiencing.
In fact, the theme for Mental Health Awareness Month in 2025 is “Turn Awareness Into Action.”
Sometimes, we can know that we should probably do something (like seek help for our persistent negative mood or talk to someone about our post-traumatic stress), but we don’t actually do anything about it. Dr. Jacob Buinewicz—who recently achieved a second board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology—can help with adults who know that their mental state could be better, but who are unsure of what their next step should be.
Seeking support from a board-certified professional is an excellent way to transform awareness into action. You do not have to know the best way forward. All you have to know is that there are people who are highly trained and experienced in helping patients to make progress on their journey to improved mental health.
Dr. Buinewicz’s dual certification in psychiatry an addiction psychiatry means that he has voluntarily taken steps to demonstrate his excellence in psychiatry as a specialty and addiction psychiatry as a subspecialty. The certification process involved Dr. Buinewicz completing a training program approved by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, as well as sitting for examinations designed to explore his knowledge and practice of his field.
A board-certified psychiatrist is the ideal person to help you turn awareness into action when it comes to your own mental health. For more information or to schedule a consultation, contact Buckingham Psychiatry online or call (484) 466-5560.
