Management Device

Technology can help us manage anxiety. At Greenwich Avenue Psychiatry we have investigated several wearable devices that can help track and change sleep, stress and other habits and encouraging patients to be mindful in a fast-paced world. Apollo Neuro’s wearable band is one of our favorites.

Crisis Hotline

Sometimes mental health can’t wait and Greenwich Avenue Psychiatry is not an acute care provider. We urge anyone in crisis to seek care immediately at your nearest emergency room or call 911. In the event you need to speak to someone immediately the Crisis Hotline accepts calls and texts 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. If you are not yet a patient and need to talk asap, click below.

Mindfulness

Meditation has been shown to have widespread benefits for mood and physical health. Getting started however can be daunting. You don’t have to take a class or dedicate hours a day to reap the benefits from mindfulness. To get started here is a link to some great guided meditation for 10 minutes day. 

Breastfeeding & Medication

Taking any medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding should involve a conversation with your healthcare provider. However knowledge is power. Lact Med creates an online free database for individuals to check what pharmaceuticals and supplements can enter breastmilk.

Supplement Quality Check

The US Supplement market is unregulated meaning that over the counter vitamins and dietary products are not subject to oversight by the FDA. However many patients use dietary supplements and in many cases they have clinical utility. US Pharmacopeia can help ensure the brand you are taking meets quality and ingredient standards.
