What does Arnab Datta, MD treat

What’s Treated

What does Arnab Datta, MD treat:

Arnab Datta, MD treats Depression, Anxiety, ADHDBipolar Disorder and various Major Life Changes to name a few conditions (see what’s treated for the full list). That’s how Psychiatry is unique, it’s an integration of one’s psychology, emotions and medicine (if needed). He can also provide daily meditation exercises to improve the psychotherapy experience.

Dr. Datta has received patients who, after seeking various treatment programs and providers, still have not received the behavioral change results they’re seeking. Helping someone with their mental health or behavioral change is not a one size fits all process. Every person, couple and family is different. Even though Dr. Datta is a psychopharmacologist and controlled substance specialist, he has a psychotherapy first mindset. He listens to your story, to your problems and develops an understanding of both your conscious and unconscious mind. He helps you see what you can’t yet see about yourself. He helps you make the decisions that are congruent with who you are as a person.

There’s a saying, “People don’t change.” Dr. Datta doesn’t believe in that. Neuroplasticity and Bioplasticity are real. We must have faith and confidence that we can get better, despite the obstacles. People may not realize the daily dedication and consistency that psychological and emotional change demands, but it’s possible here. Whether it is letting go and learning from trauma, changing bad maladaptive habits or having someone who listens and understands. Dr. Datta is the coach who helps make it possible. (See Addiction, Psychotherapy, Couples Therapy and Meditation pages for Dr. Datta’s full philosophy of treatment).

You don’t have to be mentally ill to see a psychiatrist or therapist. He sees things from your shoes and can help you make a decision based on what is most important to you by providing objective feedback.

Dr. Datta understands the rationale of your particular medication regimen and offers you a regimen that is balanced and fits your personality. Dr. Datta conducts a free discovery phone call with patients before they come in, so both the patient and doctor know whether their philosophy and perspectives regarding treatment are aligned. He begins by understanding every patient’s personality and emotionality and how it intertwines with the medication. Dr. Datta is a General Psychiatrist and Addiction Psychiatrist  and he doesn’t “lop you into the you’re an addict category” or “you have this diagnosis and you need to take this medication.” Dr. Datta treats Depression, Anxiety, ADHDBipolar Disorder and various Major Life Changes to name a few conditions (see what’s treated for the full list). That’s how Psychiatry is unique, it’s an integration of one’s psychology, emotionality and medicine (if needed). He can also provide daily meditation exercises to improve the psychotherapy process.
