Here are some of the conditions I  treat.

DEPRESSION: Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders, with patients numbering 19 million and counting. Depression is a catch-all term for many types of what's known as "mood disorders," including the self-explanatory major depression and it's milder but chronic cousin, called dysthymia. Other mood disorders include bipolar disorder, which can fling patients between extreme highs and lows; postpartum depression, which affects new moms; seasonal affective disorder, which happens most often in winter months when there's a decrease in ambient light; and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a serious form of PMS.

ANXIETY: Nearly 20 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 54 suffer from anxiety disorders, according to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America.

OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders in the United States, afflicting approximately 3.3 million people. A person with OCD is assailed with repetitive, intrusive and sometimes frightening thoughts, and often indulge in behaviors they can't seem to control.

STRESS: The American Psychological Association estimates that up to 90 percent of mental issues requiring a doctor's attention can be attributed in small or large part to stress.

PANIC DISORDERS: Nearly 2.5 million adult Americans suffer from panic disorders; they're often overwhelmed by feelings of extreme nervousness or, hence the name, panic, which also include tightening of the throat or chest.

ADDICTION: Though some still cling to the belief that addiction is a willpower problem, it's actually considered a psychological problem, with many addicts developing dependencies due to neurological issues that can actually be addressed through medication and various other therapies.
