Depression

Low mood that has not lifted, sadness, loss of interest in things that used to matter, changes in sleep, energy, and/or appetite, and a persistent sense that effort is not worth it that has lasted for more than a week.

TREATMENTS
condition icon

Anxiety and OCD

Persistently tense, ruminating on what could go wrong rather than in response to anything in particular - physical symptoms that arrive before the thought does. In OCD, intrusive thoughts and the compulsions that build up around keeping them quiet.

TREATMENTS

ADHD

Going back to childhood: becoming easily distracted, work started and not finished, procrastination, and a history of being told you would do well if you just applied yourself.

TREATMENTS
condition icon

PTSD

Trauma that has not settled. Intrusive memories, sleep that does not restore, hypervigilance, and avoidance of reminders of the traumatic experience.

TREATMENTS

Bipolar disorder

Severe fluctuations in mood that include periods of elevated or irritable mood, rapid speech, little need for sleep, impulsive decisions, and racing thoughts.

TREATMENTS

Addiction and alcohol dependence

Drinking or using that has stopped being a choice. Addiction and psychiatric conditions usually travel together, and treating one without the other tends not to hold. Dr. Shuman is a specialist in addiction psychiatry, so both sides are treated by the same doctor.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Dr. Nandakumar is fellowship-trained in child and adolescent psychiatry, so a teenager is assessed by a specialist rather than treated as a smaller adult.

Why one practice

Most people do not arrive with one clean diagnosis

Depression rarely turns up on its own. It comes with anxiety, or it follows a period of drinking too much, or it turns out to be the low half of something bipolar that nobody has named yet. ADHD gets missed for years and treated as anxiety.



Diagnosis, medication, therapy, and the interventional treatments all sit with the same doctor here, so nothing gets lost between providers and nothing gets treated in isolation.
