At the Atlanta practice of Brad Johns, MD, we provide specialized, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults. Mental health challenges often present in unique, complex ways. Dr. Johns brings over 25 years of clinical expertise to accurately evaluate, diagnose, and treat a full spectrum of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions.
Excessive worry, physical tension, and chronic stress can significantly restrict your daily life. We provide comprehensive treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, performance anxiety, and related conditions to help you regain peace of mind and emotional control.
Depression is more than persistent sadness — it impacts physical energy, motivation, sleep patterns, and cognitive focus. Dr. Johns offers targeted care for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia), as well as pregnancy-related and postpartum depression.
Navigating the fluctuations between depressive episodes and periods of mania or hypomania requires specialized medical oversight. We provide evidence-based treatment and precise medication management for Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and Cyclothymic disorders to foster long-term mood stability.
Managing executive dysfunction, chronic disorganization, impulsivity, and difficulty maintaining focus can be overwhelming for both adolescents and adults. We offer thorough diagnostic evaluations and tailored treatment strategies to enhance daily performance and clarity.
Intrusive, unwanted obsessive thoughts and repetitive compulsive behaviors can disrupt every area of life. Dr. Johns provides evidence-based psychopharmacology and therapeutic guidance to help reduce the intensity and frequency of OCD symptoms.
Trauma can leave deep, lasting impacts on the nervous system. Our practice offers a compassionate, secure space for individuals recovering from trauma, helping alleviate hypervigilance, intrusive flashbacks, and trauma-induced emotional distress.
Recurrent panic attacks and the constant fear of future episodes can feel debilitating. We help patients understand and manage physical panic symptoms, reducing anxiety and restoring confidence in daily routines.
Managing psychotic symptoms requires expert, ongoing clinical care. Dr. Johns brings extensive experience in optimizing antipsychotic medication regimens, stabilizing symptoms, and helping patients maintain independence and quality of life.
Navigating emotional dysregulation and intense interpersonal stress can make daily life feel unstable. We utilize individualized therapeutic and medical approaches designed to improve mood regulation, self-awareness, and personal relationships.
When substance use overlaps with underlying psychiatric conditions (dual diagnosis), both must be treated in tandem. Dr. Johns evaluates and manages co-occurring mental health disorders to support sustainable, long-term recovery.
We offer tailored psychiatric care for high-functioning adolescents and adults on the autism spectrum, with a focus on treating co-occurring concerns like anxiety, mood changes, and executive functioning challenges.
Recovery from an eating disorder requires an integrated, multi-system approach. Dr. Johns provides medical and psychiatric oversight as part of a multidisciplinary team to support both psychological healing and physical recovery.
When stress and emotional conflict manifest as disruptions in identity, memory, or unexplained physical symptoms, Dr. Johns provides deep diagnostic evaluation and empathetic care to uncover and treat the underlying psychological factors.
Age-related cognitive decline and dementia often bring challenging behavioral changes, anxiety, and mood shifts. We offer sensitive psychiatric evaluations and medical management to support both patients and their families through these transitions.
