About

Dr. Christine Saroian is a board-certified psychiatrist in Carlsbad who earned her medical degree from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and completed her general psychiatry residency at the University of Connecticut Health Center's Institute of Living, where she served as chief resident. Her undergraduate training at UC San Diego preceded medical school, and she holds diplomate status with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, a credential complemented by the individualized psychiatric medication dispensing available at Carlsbad Village Pharmacy in the Village district. Saroian is fluent in Spanish and maintains memberships in the American Psychiatric Association, the San Diego Psychiatric Society, and the California Medical Association. Her clinical scope covers bipolar disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders in children, and seasonal affective disorder, with the practice affiliated with Sharp Memorial Hospital. Patients managing the musculoskeletal tension and postural dysfunction that frequently accompany chronic psychiatric conditions coordinate somatic care with West Coast Chiropractic Center Carlsbad on El Camino Real. Saroian's highest-acuity interventions involve polypharmacy protocols combining mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics, and anxiolytics titrated against quantitative symptom-severity measures for treatment-resistant bipolar and psychotic-spectrum presentations.
