Dr. Brian Lahey is a physician specializing in mental health. He sees patients of all ages. He is board certified as an adult psychiatrist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, as well as a child psychiatrist by the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. He is currently in private practice in Overland Park, Kansas. Born in South Bend, Indiana, and raised by a police officer and a social worker, he developed an interest in people from a young age. By the time he was 18, he was working with mentally ill individuals who were being supported within the community. For a decade thereafter he pursued the necessary education to be a psychiatrist while starting a family and continuing to work with mental health patients. After finishing his fellowship training at Kansas University Medical Center, he has sought to identify a framework to better understand mental health symptoms. He is currently focused on reducing the amount of anxiety that children are exposed to within the school system and community.
