Conditions Psychiatrists Commonly Evaluate in Beverly Hills
Adults in Beverly Hills and the surrounding area often search for a psychiatrist for:
ADHD in Adults
Adult ADHD is frequently underdiagnosed and can significantly affect professional performance, relationships, and daily functioning. Dr. Moussai evaluates the specific factors contributing to each patient’s symptoms, including genetics, stress, and lifestyle, and develops an integrated treatment plan that may include medication management and behavioral strategies.
Depression
Depression can range from persistent low mood and fatigue to severe episodes that interfere with work and relationships. At our Beverly Hills office, we offer evidence-based depression treatment including medication management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and integrated approaches tailored to each adult patient.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are among the most common reasons adults seek psychiatric care. Dr. Moussai and his team provide thorough evaluations to identify the type and severity of anxiety, then develop individualized treatment plans that may include CBT, medication management, and trauma-informed therapy where appropriate.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder requires careful, ongoing psychiatric management to stabilize mood and prevent the disruption of depressive and manic episodes. Dr. Moussai works with adult patients to develop long-term treatment strategies that support stability and quality of life.
OCD and Panic Disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder can be significantly debilitating without proper treatment. Our team provides thorough evaluations and evidence-based care, including CBT and medication management, to help adults manage symptoms and reclaim daily functioning.
PTSD and Trauma
Adults experiencing the effects of trauma or post-traumatic stress deserve specialized, compassionate care. Our team provides trauma-focused therapy designed to help patients process difficult experiences, reduce symptoms, and build resilience over time.

Adults in high-pressure professional environments frequently experience burnout, irritability, and chronic stress. Our practice provides individualized support to help patients develop healthier coping strategies, manage anger, and restore balance in their professional and personal lives.
