Anxiety Treatment in Monrovia, CA That Actually Makes Sense.
D&Y Integrated Psychiatry provides psychiatric evaluation and evidence-based anxiety treatment for adults across CA, including Monrovia. A proper diagnosis before any prescription. Every decision explained.
Anxiety That Has Been There Long Enough Deserves a Real Evaluation
Anxiety is the most common psychiatric condition in California, and also the most undertreated. Not because people are not seeking help, but because the standard evaluation is too brief to identify what type of anxiety is actually present, what is driving it, and whether ADHD, depression, or burnout is compounding it. Adults in Monrovia who have been managing anxiety through willpower, avoidance, or a prescription that only partially works deserve a clinical evaluation that looks at the full picture.
D&Y Integrated Psychiatry provides adult anxiety evaluation and treatment via telehealth, reaching Monrovia residents and adults throughout CA without requiring a commute. The first evaluation runs 60 to 90 minutes and is a structured diagnostic interview — not a screening checklist. You leave knowing what type of anxiety you have, what is driving it, and what the treatment plan looks like. Most major insurance plans are accepted. Book an Appointment.

- Anxiety that has been present for years but has never been formally evaluated or has only received a brief screening
- Medication that is not fully working — partial improvement, side effects, or no improvement — often signals an incomplete evaluation
- Anxiety alongside ADHD, depression, or PTSD that needs all conditions evaluated simultaneously
- Work or performance anxiety that is affecting career output, relationships, or daily function
- Veterans and first responders whose anxiety overlaps with hypervigilance or PTSD presentations
Most Anxiety Treatment Starts With a Prescription. D&Y Starts With a Diagnosis.
The most common reason anxiety treatment produces only partial results is that the evaluation was too brief to identify what type of anxiety is present, what is driving it, and what else may be contributing. D&Y's first evaluation is built to answer all three questions before any treatment decision is made.
Identify the Type of Anxiety
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, and performance anxiety all present differently and respond to different treatments. A proper evaluation establishes which type is present — and whether multiple types co-exist — before any prescription is written.
Rule Out Co-Occurring Conditions
Anxiety co-occurs with ADHD, depression, PTSD, and burnout at very high rates. Treating anxiety without evaluating what else is present produces incomplete results. The D&Y evaluation examines the full clinical picture at the first appointment, not piecemeal over months.
Build a Treatment Plan That Makes Sense
Every treatment decision is explained in plain language — what medication is being recommended, why, what to expect, and what the timeline looks like. Medication is always the minimum necessary dose. You are involved in the decision. Nothing is prescribed without your understanding.

Anxiety Is a Symptom. The Evaluation Finds the Diagnosis.
Difficulty concentrating, restlessness, sleep disruption, physical tension, and persistent worry are symptoms shared by multiple psychiatric conditions. The evaluation at D&Y systematically examines each of the following before arriving at a diagnosis.
Generalized · Panic · Social · Health · Performance
Each anxiety subtype is evaluated separately. Many adults have more than one. The treatment approach differs depending on the primary driver and whether multiple subtypes are present.
ADHD · Depression · PTSD · Burnout · Mood Disorders
Anxiety co-occurring with ADHD or depression requires treating both conditions. Anxiety in veterans frequently overlaps with PTSD hypervigilance. All are assessed at the first appointment.
Work · Relationships · Sleep · Physical Health
How anxiety is affecting your job performance, personal relationships, sleep quality, and physical health shapes the priority and approach of the treatment plan. Context matters clinically.
Also covered: prior treatment history, medication response, family psychiatric history, substance use context, and formal DSM-5 diagnostic criteria applied with clinical judgment. See the full anxiety conditions page →
Evidence-Based Anxiety Treatment. Conservative Prescribing. Full Transparency.
Anxiety treatment at D&Y combines accurate diagnosis with evidence-based medication management and structured follow-up. Every prescribing decision follows three principles sourced directly from the practice.
Diagnosis Before Prescription
Medication for anxiety is not prescribed before a full diagnostic evaluation establishes what type of anxiety is present and whether co-occurring conditions need to be addressed simultaneously. This distinction changes the medication selection significantly.
Minimum Effective Dose
The minimum medication necessary to achieve meaningful symptom reduction. Doses are not escalated quickly. Side effect profiles are discussed in advance. Medication response is evaluated at every follow-up using structured criteria, not patient self-report alone.
Full Transparency
Every anxiety medication decision is explained: the mechanism of action, why this medication for this presentation, what to expect in the first 2 to 6 weeks, and what the alternatives are. You are not handed a prescription at the end of an appointment without understanding why.
For patients who benefit from both medication and therapeutic support, D&Y coordinates with therapists and integrates psychoeducation directly into psychiatric appointments.

Anxiety Treatment in Monrovia: Common Questions
Yes. D&Y Integrated Psychiatry provides psychiatric evaluation and anxiety treatment via telehealth for adults in Monrovia and throughout CA. All appointments are conducted via HIPAA-compliant secure video. D&Y serves adults 18 and older located anywhere in CA. Book an Appointment to confirm insurance and determine whether D&Y is the right fit before scheduling a full evaluation.
D&Y treats generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, performance anxiety, health anxiety, and anxiety co-occurring with ADHD, depression, PTSD, and burnout. The first evaluation includes a full differential to determine which anxiety presentation is driving your symptoms before any treatment is recommended. Many adults have more than one anxiety subtype; the evaluation identifies all that are present.
The first evaluation is 60 to 90 minutes and is a structured diagnostic interview — not a brief screening or a checklist. Follow-up visits are 30 to 45 minutes. Early in treatment, follow-ups are every 2 to 4 weeks. Once stable, visits move to monthly, then quarterly for long-term maintenance. Every visit includes a structured review of how treatment is working, not just a prescription refill.
Most major commercial insurance plans cover psychiatric evaluation and anxiety treatment. D&Y accepts Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, BCBS, Medicare, and VA Community Care, among others. Insurance is verified before your first appointment so there are no billing surprises. Private pay is also available. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
Yes, and this is one of the most clinically important reasons that anxiety treatment frequently produces only partial results. Anxiety co-occurs with ADHD in roughly 50% of adult ADHD cases. It co-occurs with depression in roughly 60% of cases. In veterans, anxiety presentations frequently overlap with PTSD hypervigilance in ways that require both conditions to be evaluated simultaneously. D&Y's first evaluation examines the full picture before any treatment is recommended, because the treatment approach changes significantly depending on what else is present.
Yes. For adult outpatient anxiety evaluation and medication management, telehealth delivers equivalent clinical outcomes to in-person care. The diagnostic interview, the prescribing process, and the follow-up structure are identical whether conducted via secure video or in person. For many adults with anxiety specifically, telehealth removes an access barrier that is directly relevant to the condition being treated — not having to manage the stress of commuting to an appointment is a genuine clinical consideration, not just a convenience.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911 immediately. D&Y Integrated Psychiatry is an outpatient practice and cannot provide emergency or crisis intervention services. If you need immediate support, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7). Veterans may call 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line.
