Brain MedicineFounded by Kevin P. Muthu, MD
Muthu Brain Medicine is a specialty psychiatric practice built around the modern neurocircuit model of the brain. We care for patients whose conditions sit at the intersection of neurology and psychiatry, and for patients whose symptoms have not fully responded to conventional care.
Modern neuroscience organizes the brain into large-scale networks that regulate attention, mood, threat, reward, and cognitive control. We use circuit-based analyses to conceptualize where symptoms form, and to choose the pharmacologic and neuromodulation strategies most likely to modify the right circuit.
Dr. Muthu has three years of experience treating the neuropsychiatric sequelae of concussion, mild to severe TBI, and chronic post-concussive syndrome via a telecare model.
Mood and cognitive care after cerebrovascular events, including depression, apathy & emotional dysregulation.
Psychiatric sequelae of Parkinson's, Huntington's, and related neurodegenerative conditions.
Integrated care for behavioral and mood symptoms across the cognitive decline spectrum.

Precision-sequenced medication selection & pharmacogenomic-guided optimization, matched to the circuits driving your symptoms, not just the diagnosis. Paired with rigorous measurement-based care and a deprescribing-first philosophy that prioritizes the minimum effective regimen for your brain.
TMS, ketamine, ProlivRx, tDCS, neurofeedback, eVNS, Modius Spero & eTNS: modalities selected and targeted to the circuits underlying your symptoms, with at-home neuromodulation options to extend care between visits. For patients who have exhausted non-invasive options, we evaluate candidacy for surgical neuromodulation (VNS & DBS) and coordinate referrals through our network of neurosurgical teams.
We define disease and formulate treatment through modern circuit-based neuroscience, not symptom checklists alone.
Every care plan is personalized, built around your history, physiology, and measurable response to treatment.
We optimize sleep, nutrition, exercise, and micronutrient levels to fully harness the neuroplasticity window opened by treatment.
In-person neuromodulation at our UES Manhattan location, with secure video visits available across New York State for consultations and follow-up care.
We are an out-of-network practice to preserve the integrity of personalized treatment plans and provide the time each patient deserves.
We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients can recover 50–80% of fees through their insurance provider.
