Dr. Hennessay is trained to address common behavioral health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, stress or grief reactions, insomnia, and ADHD. For ADHD, if you have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist, Dr. Hennessay may be able to provide ADHD medication refills on a case-by-case basis, please discuss at your visit.

Any controlled medication (for example, most sleeping pills or anxiety medications, common ones being Ambien or Xanax) will require in-person evaluation to see if they are suitable medications for each patient.

Please be advised that most sleeping medications and anxiety medications are not advisable above age 65 due to increasing risk of falls, though may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
