Navigating the landscape of mental health in the United States today presents diverse and challenging issues, especially for teenagers. Among the most prevalent mental health conditions affecting teens are:
Anxiety Disorders: Anxiety is a common experience for many teens, presenting in various forms such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, or specific phobias. These disorders can significantly impact their daily functioning and overall well-being.
Depression: Depression remains a prevalent issue among teenagers, characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities. It can affect their energy levels, concentration, and overall quality of life.
Eating Disorders: Disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating often emerge during the teenage years, closely linked to body image issues. These conditions can have severe physical and psychological consequences if left untreated.
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): While commonly diagnosed in childhood, ADHD can persist into the teenage years, affecting focus, impulse control, and organizational skills. These challenges can impact academic performance and social interactions.
Substance Use Disorders: Experimentation with drugs and alcohol can escalate into substance abuse among teens, posing significant risks to their mental health and potentially leading to addiction.
Stress-Related Disorders: The pressures of academic achievement, social dynamics, and future planning can lead to significant stress among teens, sometimes resulting in disorders like PTSD or adjustment disorders.

I didn't want to consult a psychiatrist because my lifestyle demanded mental health therapy. I thought I could do it all, handle it all, and be the superwoman everyone thought I was and my family expected of me...anxiety and depression took over my life and I tried everything to rise above it. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Left untreated, the symptoms tormented my life and hurt people I loved. Dr. Maitra is compassionate and the best psychiatrist around. She helped me understand I had a biological imbalance, not just a mental illness. She gave me the strength to share my journey without shame. Dr. Maitra has also been helping me with other private concerns, so I'm confident and hopeful I can overcome these too. Her office is gorgeous and her team handles the important aspects! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a second or third opportunity, is hesitant about a diagnosis, fears judgment, or has lost hope!
She's humble and kind. If you trust her, she can change your life too!
