Dr. Elbau cares for adults with depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar spectrum disorders, ADHD and schizophrenia, particularly those with complex or treatment-resistant symptoms. His clinical work is informed by research on brain circuits involved in mood, motivation and emotional regulation, and on how treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation can be personalized based on patterns of brain activity.
