Anxiety and Depression

Overview

Anxiety and depression are among the most common mental health conditions and frequently co-occur with neurological disorders. They significantly impair quality of life and require accurate diagnosis to distinguish from purely neurological symptoms.

Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti evaluates anxiety and depression in the context of neurological disorders - identifying whether symptoms are primary psychiatric, secondary to neurological disease, or medication-related - and coordinates appropriate pharmacological and psychological treatment.

Neurology FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about this condition. Can't find what you need? Chat with us directly.

A neurologist is recommended when anxiety or depression is associated with neurological symptoms (headache, dizziness, memory problems, tremor) or when a neurological cause needs to be ruled out.

Yes. Parkinson's, epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and dementia are all associated with depression and anxiety. Treating the underlying neurological condition often improves mental health symptoms.

Treatment includes antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs), anti-anxiety medications, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and treatment of any underlying neurological disorder.

Not always. Mild-to-moderate depression may respond well to psychotherapy, lifestyle changes (exercise, sleep, social engagement), and treatment of underlying causes.
