ADHD in Adults
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a developmental disorder of childhood which can often persist into adulthood. It can manifest itself by causing problems in one's ability to focus, pay attention to detail and complete tasks, organise oneself or remain patient in situations which demand patience. If these issues are causing concern in your everyday life, you may have ADHD in Adulthood and the results of treatment can be life-changing. ADHD can sometimes be complicated by other mental health difficulties like Anxiety and Depression, Personality Disorders or Bipolar Illness.
To find out if you may need help with ADHD, please book a Consultation.
Anxiety and Depression
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Inevitable life changes sometimes worsen these. When these emotions become severe, they interfere with relationships, leisure, work and life in general. Through treatment, you can recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life. Please book a Consultation if you think you need help with this.
Bipolar Affective Disorder
In recent years, the diagnosis of Bipolar Illness has received increased media attention due to various celebrities having suffered from it. The condition is characterised by severe prolonged mood swings accompanied by sleep disturbances and uncharacteristic thoughts and behaviours. Treatment with Mood-Stabilising Medication is very effective.
Psychotic Illnesses / Schizophrenia
About 1% of us are prone to developing a Psychotic illness in times of stress, due to illicit drug use, infection or injury or sometimes, even without a trigger. When this happens, one maynot see a need to wash and dress appropriately, one loses touch with reality and can have beliefs which seem bizarre to others or experience hearing, seeing, smelling or feeling things that other people are unable to experience. This can lead to difficulty functioning. Holistic treatment is very effective.
OCD, Trauma, PTSD and Phobias
Intrusive thoughts, repetitive behaviours; extreme fear in certain situations, preventing everyday life activities or traumatic life experiences leading to emotional & functional difficulties can all be uncomfortable experiences. Therapy can be highly effective in combination with medication, in moderate and severe situations. Please book a Consultation if you require help with these conditions.
Alcohol and Substance Misuse Disorders
Some of us are prone to excessive use of Alcohol and before we realise, it takes control of our lives. Recreational illicit drug use can sometimes be a slippery slope leading to a range of life complications and harmful effects on physical and mental health. If you think that you may need help with similar issues, please book a Consultation.
Personality Disorders
Being abused or witnessing abuse, being bullied, lack of supportive parenting and other traumatic experiences whilst growing up can impact one's life-long ability to trust other people, form confiding relationships and the ability to cope normally in times of stress. Some conduct difficulties experienced in childhood can be pervasive into adulthood and impact all aspects of life and normal functioning. Some people with Personality Disorders are more vulnerable to developing other complex mental health problems like Addictions, Depression and Psychosis.
Deep rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for Depression and OCD
Dr Desai-Gupta provides cutting edge, safe, effective treatment using Deep rTMS for people who are unable to tolerate antidepressant medication or have not responded to antidepressants at Atrom Mindcare Deep r-TMS Clinic in Epping, London.
Medical Cannabis and Psychogenetic Testing
Dr Desai-Gupta is able to assess for suitability for Medical Cannabis, which is a Controlled Drug in the UK. Whilst it is licensed for use in certain conditions, it's use for Anxiety is off-license.
Following a comprehensive assessment and risk assessment and a detailed history regarding substance misuse, in some patients where it is felt that Medical Cannabis would be beneficial to their mental health and the benefits outweigh the risks, Dr Desai-Gupta is able to facilitate prescriptions for Medical Cannabis.
Dr Desai-Gupta offers Psychogenetic testing to patients, where relevant, to identify the Psychotropic medication which is most suited to your genetic make-up, so as to maximise effectiveness and minimise side-effects.
