Dr. Adarsh K. Gupta has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor, marking his 15th consecutive year receiving this designation, which places him among the seven percent of U.S. licensed physicians selected annually for this peer-nominated honor. As a neuropsychiatrist with Sleep, TMS & Wellness Psychiatry, Dr. Gupta's recognition carries significant implications for mental healthcare in the New York City metro area, particularly for patients with treatment-resistant conditions who require advanced, personalized approaches beyond traditional pharmacological interventions.
The importance of this repeated recognition lies in what it represents about the evolution of psychiatric care. Dr. Gupta specializes in treating conditions that have proven resistant to conventional treatments, including treatment-resistant depression, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, complex sleep-wake disorders, and neurobehavioral conditions. His practice utilizes advanced procedures like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), ketamine-assisted treatment, functional near-infrared spectroscopy brain blood flow assessment, and quantitative electroencephalogram brain wave analysis. These technologies represent a shift toward precision psychiatry that integrates neuroscience with clinical practice, potentially offering new hope for patients who have exhausted traditional treatment options.
Dr. Gupta's approach incorporates integrated diagnostic capabilities, including an on-site laboratory for brain wave analysis and cognitive testing, enabling comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment planning. He is also actively involved in clinical research focused on optimizing TMS therapy outcomes for major depressive and anxiety disorders using multimodal neurodiagnostic measures. This research component is crucial as it contributes to the broader scientific understanding of how advanced neurodiagnostic tools can improve treatment efficacy for complex mental health conditions.
The selection process for Castle Connolly Top Doctors involves nominations by peer physicians and review by a physician-led research team based on criteria including medical education, training, hospital appointments, and disciplinary histories, with doctors unable to pay for selection. The list is published at https://castleconnolly.com and in various partner publications. Dr. Gupta completed his psychiatry residency at New York University Medical Center and pursued fellowships in consultation-liaison psychiatry, brain imaging, and neuropsychiatry, with 14 years as an attending consultation-liaison psychiatrist at Long Island Jewish Medical Center where he trained medical students, residents, and fellows.
For patients in the New York metro area struggling with complex mental health conditions, Dr. Gupta's continued recognition signals the availability of advanced, neuroscience-driven care options that prioritize individualized treatment strategies. The implications extend beyond individual patient care to influence how psychiatric practices might evolve to incorporate more precision diagnostics and personalized approaches, potentially setting new standards for treating treatment-resistant conditions in the region's mental healthcare landscape.
