Mood & Cognitive Health Care in Carmel, Indiana

Mood and cognitive health play a critical role in emotional stability, memory, focus, resilience, and overall quality of life. At The Functional MDs, our double board-certified physicians provide medically supervised evaluation and personalized treatment plans designed to address the root causes of anxiety, brain fog, mood imbalance, and cognitive decline through a whole-body functional medicine approach.

What Is Mood & Cognitive Dysfunction?

Mood and cognitive dysfunction occurs when brain signaling, neurotransmitter balance, metabolic function, or inflammatory pathways become disrupted. This may present as anxiety, depression, chronic brain fog, memory changes, reduced focus, or emotional instability.

Conventional care often focuses on symptom management alone. Our functional evaluation examines neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter balance, gut-brain communication, hormonal signaling, and metabolic stressors to identify why symptoms are occurring and how to restore cognitive and emotional balance at the root level.

Signs You May Benefit from Mood & Cognitive Evaluation

Functional evaluation may be appropriate if you are experiencing:

  • Chronic anxiety or mood instability
    Neurotransmitter imbalance, inflammation, and stress hormone dysregulation can drive persistent anxiety and emotional reactivity.
  • Brain fog or reduced mental clarity
    ‍    Impaired mitochondrial function, inflammation, or blood sugar instability can disrupt focus, processing speed, and cognitive performance.
    ‍
  • Memory changes or cognitive slowing
    ‍    Neuroinflammation and metabolic dysfunction may interfere with memory formation and executive function.
    ‍
  • Low motivation or depressive symptoms
    Mood symptoms may reflect underlying nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, or gut-brain signaling disruption.
    ‍
  • Heightened stress sensitivity or burnout
    HPA axis dysfunction can impair stress resilience and emotional regulation over time.
    ‍
  • Digestive symptoms associated with anxiety or mood changes
    Gut health and anxiety are closely linked through immune, microbial, and neurotransmitter pathways.
