So, what exactly is Root Cause Psychiatry?

Achieving good mental health is a complex process that depends on various interconnected factors. From our genes and gut health to cellular health, immune system, and the quality of our relationships at home and work, all these elements form your unique "Mental Health Ecosystem." This ecosystem includes the root cause drivers of mental health, which can either contribute to your well-being or hinder it.

At Potomac Psychiatry, we believe in taking a comprehensive approach to mental health treatment, based in an understanding of your unique Mental Health Ecosystem. We understand that simply addressing symptoms is not enough. Our goal is to analyze and treat each and every root cause of your condition. With the help of state-of-the-art laboratory testing and our extensive clinical experience, we delve into your unique history and clinical presentation to create a personalized treatment plan.

Our team of dedicated Bethesda Magazine Top Doctors is renowned for their exceptional expertise and commitment to patient care.

By targeting the root causes of your distress, our aim is not only to help you feel better but also to ensure long-term well-being.

Through our innovative approach known as Root Cause Psychiatry, we eliminate the need for a "trial-and-error" treatment process. Instead, we provide you with a personalized roadmap to recovery, addressing your specific biological, psychological, and social needs. By considering factors such as genetics, cellular functioning, gut microbiomes, environmental toxins, and immune system concerns, we develop tailored treatment plans that directly address the core drivers of your distress.

Our comprehensive treatment approach goes beyond surface-level solutions. We deeply investigate the genetic, cellular, and biochemical contributors to conditions such as autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, cognitive decline, and long COVID. From medication and dietary recommendations to talk therapy and supplements, our treatment plans tackle each root cause of your suffering. And we don't stop there – our clinicians continually monitor your progress and refine the plan as needed. We are committed to doing Whatever It Takes to help you feel well and recover your health.
