Kiriakos might have rested on his early academic successes, but that was never enough for him. He was also a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He was elected as a delegate to the Southern California Psychiatric Society. The American Academy of Psychiatry and Mental Health awarded him a fellowship. The list could go on indefinitely. This is crucial because psychiatry is a never-ending activity; giving patients the opportunity to make meaningful life changes will always take time. What you're seeking to do is help someone handle the specific difficulties they're having in a way that leads to future behavioral or mental health improvements. Dr. Kiriakos' unwavering commitment to furthering his education - and, as a result, his abilities - is a huge part of it. He's also a published author, having written the book "Panic Disorder: How to Fight Back and Win." Panic disorders are a type of anxiety illness characterized by rapid and recurrent feelings of dread that are frequently accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. This sickness is expected to impact around 2.7 percent of Americans each year, a scenario that has definitely been exacerbated by the present COVID-19 outbreak. Around 4.7 percent of people will have panic disorder at some point in their lives, and Lindsay Kiriakos believed it was important to bring this up. It's also why he established "Anxiety Quest," an interactive "Choose Your Own Adventure Game," and the psychoeducational website SocialAnxiety.com to help educate people on what's going on and what they can do about it. Lindsay Kiriakos is now a proud psychiatrist in his birthplace of Los Angeles, with a solo practice. He has been a licensed physician for more than two decades as of June 2022. He specializes in helping individuals, particularly guys, who are suffering from various forms of anxiety. He is a staunch believer in the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a treatment that has long been proven to aid with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, mental illness, and other issues. When he is not at work, Lindsay Kiriakos enjoys spending time with his wife and children, playing chess, and reading about history. He works with the Animal Advocates Alliance and Remember Me Rescue to foster and rescue dogs in his area. He also volunteers with the Medical Reserve Corps of Los Angeles as a Disaster Healthcare Volunteer.
