Anxiety, depression, ADHD and PTSD, seen in the same practice that knows the rest of your health history.
These are common, they are medical, and they are worth an appointment. Seeing them here means they sit in the same record as everything else about your health.
Anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder are all conditions people live with for years before raising them, often because the first step feels larger than it is.
This is a family medicine practice, so what we offer is a medical appointment: your history, what you are experiencing, how long it has been going on, what it is affecting, and a discussion of what to do about it.
Sleep, appetite, concentration, thyroid function, pain and stress do not stay in separate boxes, and neither should the record of them. Being seen for anxiety by the practice that also manages your blood pressure means nobody is working from half a picture.
It also lowers the cost of starting. Booking an appointment at a practice you already use is a smaller step than finding somewhere new, and for many people that is the step that has been getting postponed.
A conversation, mostly. What has been happening, for how long, and what it is getting in the way of. We ask about sleep, energy, concentration and appetite because they are informative, not because they are a test to pass.
Nothing is decided in one visit. We strive to create individualized treatment plans for each of our patients as each person has a unique history and unique needs.
If you are in crisis, do not wait for an appointment — call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or go to your nearest emergency room.
Anything not answered here is worth asking at your consultation.
Call (850) 481-1101 to make an appointment. It is a conversation, not a commitment.
