Mental Health Conditions Our Orlando Psychiatry Team Treats
Psychiatric medicine is most effective when symptoms are matched to the right diagnosis and the right treatment. Our Orlando psychiatric providers routinely evaluate and treat:
Anxiety Disorders & Panic Attacks
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and health anxiety. Treatment typically combines SSRIs or SNRIs with short-term symptom-management options and referral for CBT or exposure therapy when indicated.
Depression & Mood Disorders
Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), seasonal affective disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We discuss SSRIs, SNRIs, atypicals, augmentation strategies, and when appropriate, referral for Spravato or other advanced options.
ADHD in Adults 18+
Comprehensive ADHD diagnosis using validated assessments, then a personalized plan that may include stimulant medication, non-stimulant options like atomoxetine or guanfacine, and behavioral strategies. See our dedicated ADHD Testing page.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorder. We focus on mood stabilization, careful medication selection, and education about early warning signs of mood episodes.
OCD & Related Disorders
SSRIs at therapeutic doses combined with referral to ERP therapy. We coordinate with therapists experienced in exposure and response prevention.
PTSD & Trauma-Related Conditions
Medication strategies that address the sleep, hyperarousal, and mood symptoms of PTSD, alongside referral to trauma-focused therapy such as EMDR or CPT.
Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
Evaluation for primary insomnia, circadian rhythm issues, and sleep problems secondary to mood or anxiety disorders. We prioritize non-habit-forming options.
Schizophrenia & Other Psychotic Disorders
Ongoing antipsychotic management, side-effect monitoring, and coordination with case management when needed.
