Conditions we treat

ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, is a behavioral condition that makes focusing on everyday requests and routines challenging.

People with ADHD typically have trouble getting organized, staying focused, making realistic plans, and thinking before acting. They may be fidgety, noisy, and unable to adapt to changing situations.

Substance abuse is a pattern of compulsive drug and/or alcohol use marked by recurrent social, occupational, legal, or interpersonal adverse consequences, such as repeated absences from work or school, arrests, and marital difficulties.

Anxiety is characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure.

People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry. They may also have physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, dizziness, or a rapid heartbeat.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a group of disorders that typically begins during the preschool years and is characterized by difficulties communicating and interacting socially, along with rigid and repetitive patterns in behaviors, interests, and activities.

People with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) tend to be preoccupied with an imagined defect in their physical appearance, or they’re excessively concerned with a slight physical anomaly. They may frequently check for the defect.

Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness in which common emotions become intensely and often unpredictably magnified. Individuals with bipolar disorder can quickly swing from extremes of happiness, energy, and clarity to sadness, fatigue, and confusion. These shifts can be so devastating that individuals may consider suicide.

Chronic pain is physical pain that continues to occur despite all medical and pharmacological efforts at treatment.

Depression is extreme sadness or despair that lasts more than days. It interferes with the activities of daily life and can cause physical symptoms such as pain, weight loss or gain, sleeping pattern disruptions, or lack of energy.

People with depression may also experience an inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.

An eating disorder is usually characterized by a pathological disturbance of attitudes and behaviors related to food, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder.

Poor sleep at night can result in problems such as daytime sleepiness, poor decision-making, interference with learning, and accidents.

A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming fear that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than the feeling of being "stressed out" that most people experience. Symptoms of a panic attack include racing heartbeat, difficulty breathing, dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea, trembling, sweating, shaking, choking, chest pains, hot flashes, or sudden chills, tingling in fingers or toes, fear that you're going to go crazy or are about to die.

Personality disorders involve patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and the self that interfere with long-term functioning of the individual, and are not limited to isolated episodes. There are different categories and types, many of which are treatable.

Phobias are a persistent and irrational fear of a specific situation, object, or activity (e.g., heights, dogs, water, blood, driving, flying), which is either endured with heightened distress, or avoided altogether.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may develop in some people after extremely traumatic events, such as combat, a terrorist attack, crime, an accident, or a natural disaster.

People with PTSD may relive the trauma in painful recollections, flashbacks, or recurrent dreams or nightmares; avoid activities or places that recall the traumatic event; or experience physiological arousal, leading to symptoms such as an exaggerated startle response, disturbed sleep, difficulty in concentrating or remembering, and guilt about surviving the trauma when others did not.

Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression that lasts for a season, typically the winter months, and goes away during the rest of the year. Treatment usually includes Therapy, Light Therapy and Medications.

Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts about or a preoccupation with killing oneself, often as a symptom of a major depressive episode. Most instances of suicidal ideation do not progress to attempted suicide.
