Adult Anxiety & Depression

Evaluation starts with the whole picture

Dr. Swarup evaluates selected adult anxiety and depression concerns by considering symptoms, medical history, daily functioning, prior treatment, and individual goals.

Concerns addressed

An evaluation may include discussion of mood, anxiety, sleep, concentration, physical symptoms, substance use, medications, and the effect of symptoms on daily life.

  • Mood, worry, panic, irritability, motivation, and concentration.
  • Sleep, appetite, energy, and physical symptoms.
  • Current medications and substances that may affect mood or anxiety.
  • Medical conditions that can contribute to similar symptoms.
  • Prior diagnoses, treatment, therapy, or medication experiences.
  • Work, relationships, family stress, grief, trauma, and other life changes.
  • Safety concerns and whether a higher level of care is needed.

Evaluation and treatment

Treatment is individualized and may include education, lifestyle recommendations, psychotherapy, medication, referral, or a combination, depending on the evaluation.

Referral and safety

If specialty psychiatric care, therapy, emergency services, or a higher level of care would be more appropriate, Dr. Swarup will explain the recommended next step.

Some symptoms are best treated by a psychiatrist, therapist, emergency service, or a higher level of behavioral-health care. If your needs fall outside the appropriate scope of the practice, I will be clear about that and help identify an appropriate next step when possible.

Urgent concerns

For an immediate medical or psychiatric emergency, contact emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use the website form for urgent concerns.
