Greetings, My name is Syed Kamal! I am a board-certified, practicing neuropsychiatrist/cognitive neurologist who has pursued specialty training within the Mass General Brigham/Harvard Medical School system. During my general psychiatry training, it became evident that I needed to pursue specialty training to enhance treatment options beyond rudimentary neurotransmitter-based agents. With the collective understanding of brain-mind relationships, the patient and I develop a cohesive plan to address behavior, mood, and cognition.

Have you ever left a psychiatric appointment feeling rushed, unheard, or like you couldn't truly speak your mind? Finding the right mental health provider shouldn't feel like walking on eggshells, nor should it feel like your treatment is being dictated to you. If you are looking for a provider who actually listens, explains the "why" behind every decision, and treats you as an equal partner in your own care, you are in the right place.

Psychotherapy is a safe place where we can explore how the past continues to affect the present. It is an encounter with another person which can be painful at times but also lively and genial. As a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst trained at Tufts Medical Center and the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute I employ an approach that integrates psychoanalytic, cognitive, and mindfulness-based techniques with psychopharmacologic management. The human experience is complex and I engage my patients in a flexible manner that respects the gravity of our work.

FAQ - Psychiatrists for Seniors
Do psychiatrists see seniors?
Yes, psychiatrists frequently work with older adults to address the mental health challenges that commonly arise with aging, including depression, anxiety, grief, sleep difficulties, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Some psychiatrists specialize specifically in older adults, while others see seniors as part of a general practice. Research consistently shows that untreated mental health conditions in older adults can worsen physical health outcomes and reduce overall quality of life. Therefore, getting appropriate care from a psychiatrist with experience treating older adults can make a significant difference in day-to-day functioning and overall wellbeing.
Should older adults see a psychiatrist or a therapist?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe and manage medications, and assess whether physical or neurological factors are contributing to mental health symptoms. Therapists, by contrast, are not medical doctors, but provide talk-based treatment to help clients work through emotional challenges, behavioral issues, and life challenges. For many older adults, seeing both a psychiatrist and a therapist is the most effective approach. A psychiatrist can handle medication and medical oversight, while a therapist provides ongoing emotional support and coping strategies. If you are primarily seeking support for a condition that does not require medical oversight, a therapist may be the right starting point. Then, if symptoms are severe or if symptoms don’t respond to therapy alone, a psychiatric evaluation can be a good next step.
How can I find a psychiatrist who sees seniors?
Psychology Today's online directory allows you to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who work with elderly adults. You can filter by specialty areas relevant to seniors to find providers with relevant experience. Each provider profile includes information on therapeutic approach, licensure, insurance accepted, languages spoken, and session fees, so you can assess whether a provider is a good fit before reaching out.
