Mental Health Conditions Treated Online
Through virtual visits, Virginia Integrative Psychiatry evaluates and treats a wide range of concerns commonly seen in Roanoke‑area patients, including:
- Mood disorders: Major Depressive Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder, Bipolar I and II
- Anxiety disorders: Generalized Anxiety Disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, specific phobias
- Trauma‑related conditions: PTSD and related symptoms
- Obsessive‑compulsive and related conditions
- Adult ADHD and attention problems in older teens
- Sleep and stress‑related concerns
- Co‑occurring presentations, such as anxiety with depression or ADHD with mood symptoms
Online care is especially helpful for people whose symptoms make leaving home difficult, those with tight schedules at downtown employers or medical centers, and individuals living in outlying areas of Roanoke County or neighboring rural communities.
What to Expect From Online Psychiatry Visits
Comprehensive Initial Evaluation
Your first telepsychiatry appointment, typically 60–90 minutes, includes a detailed review of:
- Current symptoms and primary concerns
- Personal and family mental health history
- Medical conditions, prescribed medications, and substance use history
- Work, school, and home environment in the Roanoke area
This thorough assessment helps distinguish between overlapping conditions—for example, depression vs. bipolar disorder, or anxiety vs. ADHD—and guides a tailored treatment plan rather than a generic approach.
Personalized Care & Treatment Planning
After clarifying the diagnosis, Dr. Nagaraja discusses treatment options, which may involve:
- Psychiatric medication management
- Brief supportive psychotherapy and coaching around stress, sleep, and daily routines
- Recommendations for local therapists, support groups, or higher‑level services in Roanoke or nearby cities when additional counseling or intensive care is appropriate
Treatment planning is collaborative, with time to review potential benefits, risks, and alternatives so you can make informed decisions.
Ongoing Medication Management and Follow‑Up
Follow‑up visits are scheduled according to clinical need—often every 4–12 weeks for stable patients and more frequently during medication changes. These online appointments focus on:
- Symptom changes, side effects, and overall functioning
- Dose adjustments or medication changes when needed
- Lab monitoring when required for specific medications (labs can be drawn at facilities in and around Roanoke)
Prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy, whether you use one near Towers Shopping Center, Valley View Mall, or in Salem, Vinton, or other parts of the valley.
Benefits of Online Psychiatry for Roanoke Residents
Telepsychiatry offers several advantages for individuals and families in the Roanoke region:
- Less time on the road: Avoid repeated drives on I‑81, US‑460, or along Brandon Avenue and Orange Avenue for routine visits.
- Enhanced privacy: Sessions can be held from a private room at home or work, which many professionals and college students at Virginia Tech Carilion or Roanoke College prefer.
- Flexible scheduling: Virtual visits are easier to fit around shifts at local hospitals, schools, manufacturing facilities, or downtown offices.
- Continuity of care: Patients who frequently travel between Roanoke and other Virginia locations can maintain consistent follow‑up via telehealth.
