Approximately 20% of Americans experience mental health challenges each year, yet many avoid seeking help due to stigma or uncertainty about where to start. At Millennium Park Medical Associates in Chicago, Dr. Farah Khan integrates mental health care into your overall wellness, treating depression, anxiety, and ADHD with the same attention and expertise as physical health conditions.
Our approach recognizes that mental and physical health are deeply connected. Depression can worsen chronic pain and diabetes control. Anxiety affects blood pressure and sleep quality. By treating you as a whole person rather than isolating mental health from physical health, we provide more effective, coordinated care. Located in the Loop near Millennium Park, our Chicago practice makes accessing mental health treatment comfortable and convenient.
Depression – Persistent sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed can interfere with work, relationships, and daily functioning. Depression disrupts sleep patterns, affects appetite, makes concentration difficult, and can lead to physical symptoms. We provide medication management and coordinate therapy referrals to help you regain emotional stability and quality of life.
Anxiety Disorders – General anxiety disorder affects around 18% of American adults, causing intense stress and fear about everyday responsibilities like work, family, or health. Physical symptoms often accompany anxiety—muscle tension, disrupted sleep, gastrointestinal problems, and restlessness. Our treatment helps manage both psychological and physical aspects of anxiety.
ADHD in Adults – Adult ADHD causes disorganization, missed deadlines, frequently misplaced items, difficulty focusing, and sometimes anger or irritability. While often diagnosed in childhood, many adults struggle with undiagnosed or poorly managed ADHD. With proper treatment and support, you can develop strategies to manage symptoms effectively.
Cognitive Concerns – We also provide cognitive screening for memory loss, concentration difficulties, and early signs of dementia. If you or family members notice problems finding words, short-term memory changes, or mood shifts, evaluation can identify issues early when intervention is most helpful.
Comprehensive Assessment – Dr. Khan evaluates your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and how mental health concerns intersect with physical health conditions to create a complete picture.
Medication Management – We prescribe antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or mood-regulating drugs when appropriate, carefully monitoring effectiveness and adjusting dosages to achieve optimal results with minimal side effects.
Lifestyle & Wellness Guidance – Regular exercise releases mood-boosting endorphins. Dietary changes and targeted supplements support brain health and energy levels. We provide practical recommendations that complement medication and therapy.
Therapy Coordination – While we manage medications, we connect you with qualified therapists in Chicago for counseling services, ensuring your treatment addresses both biological and psychological factors.
Ongoing Support – Mental health management requires consistency. We schedule regular follow-ups to track progress, adjust medications, and provide continued support throughout your treatment journey.
