AREAS OF SPECIALTY
- MOOD DISORDER : Usually, treatment involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy. There are also other types of treatment, such as brain stimulation therapy.
- ANXIETY DISORDERS : Anxiety is only an indicator of underlying disease when feelings become excessive, all-consuming and interfere with daily living for a prolonged time.
- PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS : When a person loses touch with reality (hallucinations, delusions), it is a sign of an underlying illness requiring immediate psychiatric input.
- ADULT ADHD : Issues with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity can prevent a person from living their life normally and also limit their potential to achieve goals.
Consultation
Dr Khan is currently focussing on assessment, treatment and management of Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This will enable swift diagnosis and patients can expect to commence treatment within two weeks of their first assessment appointment with Dr Khan, under his specialist supervision.
Dr. Khan has devised an Expedited ADHD Assessment Pathway, which reduces the ADHD assessment time dramatically. A complete diagnostic assessment report will be provided to the referring GPs on the same day of the patient’s assessment appointment with Dr Khan. In-person and telehealth appointments are available.
