    I am Dr. Mariana Morales, a graduate physician from Universidad La Salle and a specialist in Psychiatry from the National Institute of Psychiatry Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz. Additionally, I completed a specialization in Perinatal Mental Disorders at the University of Barcelona, with the aim of providing comprehensive care to women during pregnancy, postpartum, and other key stages of their mental health.

    My clinical training has been enriched with rotations in high-level institutions such as the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition “Salvador Zubirán,” the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chávez, the National Institute of Perinatology, and the Military Hospital of Specialties for Women and Neonatology.

    I have experience in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, psychotic disorders, and addictions, supported by my work at the Center for Mental Health and Addictions in the Community of the INPRFM.

    My approach is based on empathetic, human, and deeply science-committed care. I firmly believe that every patient deserves personalized treatment, supported by the most current scientific evidence and with a comprehensive vision of their well-being.

    If you are looking for professional, close, and up-to-date support, I am here to help you regain your balance and quality of life.

    I found Dr. Mejia very easy going and understandable. I was nervous about getting a replacement for my Adderall in Mexico. When the prescription she gave me was not effective, she was immediately responsive and gave me a new one. I'm very happy (and relieved!) that I found her.

    I’m traveling from the US for an extended period of time and met with Dra. Mariana so I can continue my treatment plan for an existing diagnosis and receive the medications I need. Dra. Mariana took time to understand my medical history and needs. She helped me understand my options and included me in decisions about my treatment plan. She is genuinely kind and communicates well, and made transitioning my treatment plan really easy. I’m grateful to work with her and relieved to be getting the care I need.

    About Medical Conditions & Treatments

    What is ADHD paralysis?

    ADHD paralysis refers to the overwhelming feeling of being unable to start or complete tasks, even simple ones. It's not actual physical paralysis, but rather a mental state where the ADHD brain becomes overwhelmed by choices, perfectionism, or the perceived magnitude of a task. This can lead to procrastination, avoidance, and increased anxiety. Our specialists can teach coping strategies like breaking tasks into smaller steps, using timers, and implementing organizational systems to overcome ADHD paralysis.

    How many ketamine treatments for depression?

    Ketamine treatment for depression typically involves an initial series of 6-8 infusions over 2-4 weeks, administered by qualified psychiatrists in Mexico. The exact number varies based on individual response and severity of symptoms. Our English-speaking psychiatrists provide ketamine therapy following international protocols, with each session lasting 40-60 minutes under medical supervision. Most patients experience improvement after 2-3 treatments, with optimal results after completing the initial series. Maintenance treatments may be scheduled every 2-6 weeks depending on your response. All ketamine treatments in Mexico are conducted in accredited medical facilities with proper monitoring equipment and emergency protocols.

    Is anxiety a disability?

    Anxiety can qualify as a disability when it substantially limits major life activities such as working, socializing, or performing daily tasks. In Mexico, anxiety disorders may qualify for disability benefits through IMSS or private insurance when properly documented by qualified psychiatrists. Our English-speaking mental health specialists provide comprehensive evaluations to determine disability status, including functional capacity assessments and detailed documentation of how anxiety impacts work performance and daily functioning. We help expatriates and travelers navigate both Mexican and international disability systems, ensuring proper medical documentation meets all requirements for successful disability claims and workplace accommodations.
