In light of Hurricane Melissa, our team at Avant Interventional Psychiatry is sending our deepest thoughts and prayers to everyone affected — especially our team members who have family and loved ones in Jamaica.
Please know that we stand with you and your loved ones during this difficult time. We’re praying for strength, comfort, and protection for every family, every home, and for the beautiful island of Jamaica as recovery begins. 🌿
Jamaica’s spirit has always been one of resilience and unity, and even through this storm, that strength continues to shine.
To our Avant team members with roots there — your families are in our hearts, and your Avant family stands beside you in love, hope, and unwavering support. ❤️
If anyone has been affected by this and is struggling emotionally or simply needs someone to talk through it with, please know that we’re here 100% for you. You are not alone — we’re standing with you in care, compassion, and community. 💙

🍁 Mental health looks different on everyone — and that’s what makes it human.
This season reminds us of connection, gratitude, and family — but it can also be a time when emotions feel heavier. At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we want to remind you that mental health doesn’t have one face, one background, or one story.
It affects every age, every culture, every family, every community. 💛
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health. Whether it’s reaching out for help, setting healthy boundaries, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself — every step matters.
Let this fall be a reminder to slow down, check in with yourself and your loved ones, and remember: you’re never alone on this journey.
🧡 Compassion has no boundaries. Healing has no single face.

At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we believe mental health care should feel safe, supportive, and stigma-free. Our team is here to guide you through every step — with compassion, understanding, and innovative treatment options that truly make a difference.

🎃 Halloween is a time for fun, creativity, and a little bit of spooky excitement — but your mental health still comes first. 👻
Between costumes, parties, and late-night thrills, it’s easy to get overwhelmed — especially if loud noises, crowds, or social settings increase your stress or anxiety. This season, Avant Interventional Psychiatry encourages you to enjoy the celebration mindfully. 💜

🎭 Don’t feel pressured to participate in everything — it’s okay to say “no.”
🍬 Keep routines in place when possible — consistency supports emotional balance.
🧠 Check in on friends and family who may be struggling — sometimes, a simple “How are you feeling?” can make a world of difference.
Remember, Halloween is about having fun, not fear. Protect your peace, pace yourself, and make space for joy.
If you ever feel anxious, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to, Avant Interventional Psychiatry is here to help. Visit avantpsychiatry.com or call

October is National ADHD Awareness Month, and at Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we’re highlighting The Many Faces of ADHD — because ADHD isn’t one-size-fits-all.
ADHD affects people across all ages and stages of life.
* In children: About 9–10% of U.S. kids (ages 4–17) are diagnosed with ADHD, often showing signs through hyperactivity, impulsivity, or trouble focusing in class.
* In adults: Roughly 4–5% live with ADHD — sometimes undiagnosed — where symptoms can appear as disorganization, restlessness, or difficulty managing time and emotions.
💡 ADHD doesn’t disappear with age — it evolves. Recognizing it early and understanding how it presents differently is key to support and success.
At Avant, we believe in seeing every face of ADHD — the thinkers, the creators, the innovators — and providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps individuals thrive.
🧡 This October, let’s raise awareness, break stigma, and celebrate the neurodiverse minds that make the world brighter.

This October, as we recognize National Depression Education and Awareness Month, let this be your reminder:
✨ You don’t have to carry everything alone. ✨ Asking for help doesn’t make you weak — it means you’re brave enough to heal. ✨ Talking to someone can be the first step toward feeling whole again.
Your mental health matters. Every thought, every feeling, you matter.
If you ever need someone to talk to, Avant Interventional Psychiatry is here for you — today, tomorrow, and every day you need support.
💬 Visit avantpsychiatry.com or call 770-694-6394 to connect with someone who cares.
It’s okay to ask for help. You are never alone. 💙

Happy Thursday from the Avant team — and an extra shoutout to our fearless leader, Dr. Justin, in honor of National Boss’s Day! 👏
At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we believe leadership in mental health isn’t just about appointments and diagnoses — it’s about empathy, patience, and showing up (even when life runs a little behind schedule). 💙
Mental health isn’t a race — it’s a journey. Some days move fast, others take time, and that’s okay. Whether you’re leading a team, caring for patients, or simply trying to care for yourself, take a deep breath and remember: progress is still progress. 🌿
Here’s to leading with style, compassion, and a commitment to better mental health every day. 🧠💙
So here’s to the doctors, leaders, and everyday heroes who show up with heart, humor, and purpose — even when they’re fashionably late. 😉

Avant Interventional Psychiatry was founded in 2017 by Dr. Okah “Justin” Anyokwu. Upon moving to the Atlanta area he continued his work with local inpatient hospitals as well as underserved populations in hospitals specializing in psychiatric consults for comorbid and Treatment-Resistant psychiatric disorders. After making the decision to call this community home, he decided that he wanted to take part in making the lives of the people in our area better with a deeper reach towards mental wellness. Throughout his years of work in mental health and particularly with complex and severe mental illness, Dr. Justin realized an interventional piece was needed to bridge the gap in psychiatric treatment. By intervening in the lives of patients before hospitalization and being able to assess the true complexity of their mental health needs we hope to replace years of suffering with more years of healthy living and peace of mind.
ABOUT THE OWNER
Dr. Okah “Justin” Anyokwu received his medical degree from the College of Health Sciences at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife Nigeria. He then moved to the United Kingdom to attend the Royal College of Psychiatry to specialize in Psychiatry. Upon completion of his education in Europe, he moved to the United States and completed his residency at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Dr. Justin is a board-certified psychiatrist licensed in eight states and is currently a member of the American Psychiatric Association. He specializes in comorbid and Treatment-Resistant psychiatric disorders. He founded Avant Behavioral Consultants in 2017 which now operates as Avant Interventional Psychiatry, an outpatient private practice specializing in: treatment resistant psychiatric services, tele-psychiatry, therapy/counseling sessions, substance abuse treatment [and/or suboxone therapy], and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy.
