Scope
Psychiatric & mental health physician; ADHD-CCSP for structured ADHD assessment within psychiatric practice.
When ADHD, anxiety, and depression stack—and you need psychiatric depth, not a sound bite
I’m Dr. Swati Pandey. I help adults who’ve white-knuckled their way through careers and relationships while their minds race or go numb. If you’re wondering whether it’s ADHD, mood, both, or something else entirely, we slow down enough to think clearly—together.
Psychiatric & Mental Health
ADHD-CCSP
Why patients choose Dr. Swati Pandey
Psychiatric care isn’t only about prescriptions—it’s about accurate diagnosis, safety, and a plan you can sustain. I’m comfortable with complexity: prior trials that “didn’t work,” trauma history, bipolar spectrum questions, or ADHD that only became obvious after life slowed down.
Validation matters here. So does rigor. You’ll get both.
- Clarity-first evaluations—ADHD-CCSP training with a psychiatrist’s lens on mood and anxiety disorders.
- Medication when appropriate, context always—risks, interactions, and follow-up spelled out.
- Coordination mindset—therapy referrals, PCP collaboration, or metabolic colleagues when your story needs a team.
Conditions & focus areas
ADHD in adults—with psychiatric co-occurrence named honestly.
- Adult ADHD—especially when mood or anxiety clouds the picture
- Major depression, generalized anxiety, panic—differentiated from or treated alongside ADHD
- Treatment-resistant or “complicated” histories—multiple meds, gaps in care, diagnostic uncertainty
- Secondary support—sleep, substance use themes, and safety screening as standard—not optional

Treatment approach
Evaluations integrate developmental history, symptom course, family history, and standardized measures. When cognitive testing adds value, we use it as data, not a vending-machine diagnosis. Treatment plans respect your goals, contraindications, and what’s realistic in your week-to-week life.
If controlled substances are not appropriate, you’ll understand why—and what alternatives exist.
What to expect
- Screening—fast signal on whether psychiatric evaluation is the right door.
- Meet & Greet—logistics, fit, and your questions—especially if you’ve had bad experiences elsewhere.
- Comprehensive evaluation—sufficient time to unpack overlapping symptoms responsibly.
- Ongoing psychiatric care—monitoring, dose changes, or step-up/step-down plans with clear communication.
