Something shifted and you can't get back to feeling like yourself. The afternoon heaviness, the focus that vanishes mid-sentence, the sleep that never comes together — South Austin looks relaxed on the surface while people struggle underneath. Maybe you're a parent running on empty, a creative whose work has gone quiet, a service worker whose anxiety started with the rent. Maybe depression has become "just who I am" after trying two, three, four antidepressants. Dr. Thangada, MD treats depression that hasn't budged, sleep that won't repair, and anxiety that's taken over the routine.
As a board-certified MD psychiatrist, Dr. Thangada prescribes the full psychiatric formulary — including ADHD stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta) and Schedule II medications requiring MD-level authority in Texas. Offers in-clinic Spravato and TMS for treatment-resistant depression. Real options when medications haven't worked.
You've already done the hard part of knowing something isn't right. What you need isn't another prescription refill from the same protocol — it's a thorough evaluation from a psychiatrist who can actually change the plan. South Austin deserves psychiatric care that treats the problem, not just the symptoms.

I treat depression, sleep/insomnia, and anxiety for South Austin adults — working families, SoCo creatives, service industry workers, and young professionals. Initial evaluation: 90 minutes covering sleep architecture, mood patterns, prior medications (and why they stopped working), and the three-way overlap of depression-anxiety-insomnia common here. Spravato and TMS available.
