Psychiatry for Columbia without the drive to Baltimore or DC
Columbia sits between two cities and a lot of its working adults commute to one of them. Adding a psychiatry appointment on top of that usually means a third trip, in the opposite direction, during the only hours a practice is open.
Dr. Hardik Yadav, MD sees adults across Columbia, Ellicott City, Elkridge and the rest of Howard County entirely by video, including evenings and weekends. The appointment happens wherever you are, which for most people means it happens at all.
Adult ADHD that went unnoticed for thirty years
A good deal of adult ADHD arrives disguised. Someone reaches their thirties or forties having been treated for depression or anxiety for years, the medication helps a little, and nobody has asked whether attention was the problem underneath. Dr. Yadav evaluates with a structured interview and the ASRS scale, looking at the whole history rather than the current complaint.
When ADHD is the driver, treating it often eases what sat on top of it. Some patients have come off antidepressants they no longer needed once the attention side was handled. Where stimulants are the wrong fit, non-stimulant options including Wellbutrin XL, Strattera, Intuniv and viloxazine are available, and ADHD medication can be prescribed by telehealth in Maryland.
What treatment actually looks like
The first appointment runs a full 60 minutes. That is deliberate: a detailed personal and family history is what separates a diagnosis from a guess, particularly when earlier treatments have not worked. Follow-up medication management visits are 30 minutes, and you see Dr. Yadav himself each time rather than a rotating staff.
Beyond adult ADHD, he treats depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and addiction including Suboxone and MAT. Where several medications have already been tried, a pharmacogenetic test can show how your body processes them.
