Comprehensive Medical Evaluation
You need to know a medical problem is not the cause, or associated with changes, in how you are feeling or thinking. Thyroid pathology, diabetes, narcolepsy & sleep disorders, vitamin deficiencies, history of head trauma, drugs and alcohol, are on the short list of conditions which may present with psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or problems concentrating. To guide accurate diagnosis and treatment, we may order blood work to help rule out any possible medical or physiological explanation of your symptoms.
When it comes to medications, “less is more” in most cases. Dr. Storch will work with you to find a precision medication regimen, and gladly help reduce polypharmacy in individuals presenting as “over-medicated.” To help with medication selection, Genomind’s Genocept Assay may be utilized to discover if one may be prone to adverse effects, or likely to benefit from one medication or class of medications.
Adult ADHD (sometimes referred to as ADD or ADHD) is one of the more misunderstood and often hidden disorders wreaking havoc on otherwise high-functioning adults. Focus and concentration are not only essential for optimal academic or professional endeavors, but in personal relationships too, presence of mind can promote harmony and concord. Medication is often very effective in the treatment of ADHD. Discussing stimulant vs. non-stimulant medication, “off-label” medications, and behavioral interventions are discussed.
Highly prevalent and highly treatable – Depression and/or Anxiety can be very disabling, lead to problems with sleep, concentration, and an array of physical ailments. The good news is, diagnosis and treatment with proper follow-up can help. There exists an array of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions to help you.
We cannot practice medicine in a vacuum. Top-quality treatment means that health care providers must communicate with each other to develop a 360-degree view of the patient. Regular communication with therapists, psychologists, internists and other specialists is essential to the practice of good medicine. We consult with other clinicians on a regular basis and will refer you to a colleague when needed.
We currently utilize Genomind’s Genecept Assay – a simple, painless, and easy to perform saliva cheek swab test that can provide a wealth of information about genes that may influence how your body processes medication. Having this information can help cut down on time wasted trying medications which may not be right for you, help guide the sequence of medications tried, and help personalize your treatment approach.
