Vital Minds Deserve Expert Care
Expert, personalized psychiatric care for adults in Chicago and Illinois.
Led by Dr. Aniruddha Deka, a Yale-trained, double board-certified psychiatrist with expertise in adult psychiatry, psychopharmacology, diagnostic complexity, and the intersection of mental and physical health.
Grounded in Science, Guided by Humanity
Good psychiatric care starts with understanding the full picture.Â
Â
At Vital Minds, we take the time to understand your symptoms, experiences, physical health, previous treatments, and goals before developing a plan together. Recommendations are guided by the best available evidence while recognizing that treatment should be individualized to the person receiving it.
​
Whether you are seeking psychiatric care for the first time, reconsidering a diagnosis, or looking for a fresh perspective after previous treatments have not worked as well as hoped, our goal is to provide greater clarity and a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
Care That Considers the Mind and Body Together
Mental and physical health are closely connected. Sleep, medications, chronic illness, pain, substance use, and other medical factors can all influence how you feel.
Â
Our approach reflects specialized expertise in the intersection of mental and physical health while remaining grounded in comprehensive adult psychiatry. This perspective can be especially helpful when symptoms are complex, diagnoses are unclear, or several factors may be contributing at the same time.
Comprehensive Adult Psychiatry
Vital Minds Psychiatry provides evaluation and treatment for adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, ADHD, substance use concerns, psychosis, and other psychiatric conditions.
We offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, diagnostic consultation, and individualized treatment planning. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) services are also coming soon.
