Darryl Brush, MD - Walk-in Care Worthington

I am a general, forensic and child and adolescent physiatrist specializing in suicidal and injurious behavior as well as psychiatric emergencies. As a forensic psychiatrist, I perform criminal and civil psychiatric interviews and evaluations for the judicial system. My areas of forensic interest include juvenile sex offenses, mental illness in the prison system, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and risk assessment. I have extensive experience with psychiatric evaluations and have been qualified as an expert witness in a wide variety of court cases. In my clinical work I am primarily provide psychiatric emergency services for adults and adolescents and treat conditions including anxiety, mood disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I believe each of our patients at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center should be treated as a "VIP" with the utmost respect, and I strive to provide the same quality of treatment I would want for a member of my family. I am very passionate about my career as this is an extremely exciting time to be a psychiatrist. I am fortunate to work at an academic medical center such as Ohio State, where my colleagues share my goal of bringing state-of-the-art evaluation and treatment to the psychiatric emergency services, where patients and their families are often in a vulnerable and distraught stat hen I'm not working, I enjoy reading, traveling and spending time with my family and my dog, Esmeralda.

I work at the intersection of physical and mental health, identifying and addressing the psychiatric needs of patients living with chronic medical problems. I'm passionate about supporting our patients on their medical journeys by addressing their behavioral health needs. I also aim to break down barriers to psychiatric treatment by assisting non-psychiatric providers to better diagnose and treat their patients' psychiatric need uring our initial visit, my patients can expect a comprehensive consultation that explores how their medical illnesses and their behavioral health needs are affecting each other. I send a report to their referring medical providers with diagnostic impressions and treatment recommendations. At Ohio State, I provide both direct (face-to-face) consultations and indirect consultations (e-consults and collaborative care services supporting non-psychiatric providers).I enjoy working at Ohio State because of the endless potential that comes from working with so many talented peopl n my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, my pets and technology.

As a psychiatrist, I specialize in treating resistant mood, anxiety and psychotic disorders.

I enjoy working with a multidisciplinary care team and helping patients find relief from difficult-to-treat disorder n addition to patient care, I provide consultation to other doctors regarding a patient's ability to be treated with a psychiatric procedure, along with or instead of their existing medication and counseling. I'm part of a department that allows me to keep learning, collaborating and thinking about how to better help the patients we serv n my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, biking, snowboarding, reading for pleasure, hiking and rock climbing to name a few.
