Pasadena Neuropsychiatry Center

We approach each patient as another physician involved in their healthcare. Psychiatry is a medical specialty, just as cardiology and internal medicine are. As such, psychiatric diagnoses–from common ones like depression and anxiety disorders to those less prevalent like schizophrenia–require the same degree of attention as “medical” illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes do in diagnostic formulation and establishment of a treatment plan. After all, the brain is an organ, just as the heart and lungs are. There should be no shame associated with treating the brain, just as there isn’t with treating any other organ.
