Conditions We Treat

​ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults, characterized by difficulty with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with staying focused, organizing tasks, following instructions, and controlling impulses, which can impact academic, professional, and personal life.

Depressive disorders cause persistent sadness, low energy, and loss of interest in activities. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the most common type, characterized by feelings of hopelessness, changes in appetite and sleep, and difficulty concentrating. Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) involves chronic but less severe depression lasting two or more years.

Anxiety disorders involve excessive worry, fear, or nervousness that affects daily life. Common types include Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Phobias. Symptoms may include restlessness, racing thoughts, rapid heartbeat, and avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety.

OCD is characterized by obsessions (intrusive, unwanted thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce anxiety). Examples include excessive handwashing, checking, or arranging objects in a particular order. OCD can interfere significantly with daily life and cause distress.

Mood disorders affect a person’s emotional state and include Bipolar Disorder and Cyclothymic Disorder.
Bipolar Disorder: Alternates between manic episodes (elevated mood, high energy, impulsivity) and depressive episodes (sadness, low energy, hopelessness).
Cyclothymic Disorder: A milder form of bipolar disorder with fluctuating mood swings but not severe enough to meet the criteria for full manic or depressive episodes.

PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness. People with PTSD may avoid places or situations that remind them of the trauma, leading to social withdrawal and distress.
