Brain health is mental health.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors that have a deep understanding of both mental and physical health, as well as how they affect one another. Your psychiatrist will work with you to optimize your mental health from a biological perspective, focusing on what goes on in your brain and how that affects your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
All our psychiatrists are experts in the biological foundations and treatment of a wide range of mental health disorders, including GAD, OCD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
