Some issues Dr. Ruchi Gupta Sharma, MD can help you with:

Depression

Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."

Some common symptoms of depression include:

Feeling sad, guilty, empty or hopeless
Fatigue and a lack of energy and motivation
A loss of pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed
Unusual sleep or eating habits
Mental fog -- trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
Physical aches and pains
Suicidal thoughts or a preoccupation with death

We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.

Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.

Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are mental and physical illnesses that impact behavior, emotions, and thoughts about eating, food, body appearance, and weight. These disorders are characterized by preoccupations with food and physical size, resulting in dramatic lifestyle changes and adverse health effects. In the past, eating disorders were often diagnosed using BMI (body mass index), or by assessing someone's weight. Eating disorders specialists now recognize that eating disorders may occur in people of all sizes. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder (BED).

Anorexia nervosa, frequently referred to as anorexia, is a disorder where people severely restrict the types and quantity of food they eat. Those with anorexia have an extreme fear of eating and gaining weight and may repeatedly weigh themselves or engage in harmful behaviors such as excessive exercise or starvation. Those with anorexia often find themselves preoccupied with food, but unable to consume a healthy amount of it. This results in symptoms such as abnormally low BMI, vitamin deficiency, fatigue, fainting, and amenorrhea (lack of menstruation in women). Anorexia may cause bluish discoloration of the hands, brittle and falling out hair, yellowish skin, and lanugo (fine, downy hair). Left untreated, anorexia can lead to organ failure, brain damage, and even death.

Bulimia nervosa, typically called bulimia, is a disorder where people binge (eat large quantities of food) and purge the food that they just consumed by vomiting, laxative abuse, fasting, or excessive exercise. This behavior is usually motivated by a feeling of powerlessness over eating and a fear of weight gain or desire for weight loss. Bulimia can occur in underweight, normal weight, and overweight people. Symptoms of bulimia include acid reflux, intestinal distress, dehydration from purging, amenorrhea, and dental erosion from vomiting. Some people with bulimia have swollen parotid glands (salivary glands near the cheeks) and red scars and marks on the backs of their knuckles. Electrolyte imbalance from bulimia can be particularly severe and may lead to heart attack or stroke.

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder. People with BED feel that they are unable to control the amount of food they eat and may continue to binge after reaching a point of fullness. BED binges (consuming large amounts of food) are often accompanied by feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame. Symptoms of BED include obesity, acid reflux, weight gain, and dissatisfaction with one's body. People with BED tend to experience cycles of negative emotions and binges. Binges or BED episodes can be provoked by stress, boredom, restrictive dieting, depression, and other triggers.

Other common eating disorders include:

Pica, eating things that are not food, such as paper, ice, or soil
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), disinterest in eating and avoidance of food
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), abnormal eating that does not fall under any disorder

Many people with eating disorders do not consciously develop them, and have difficulty seeking treatment. For this reason, it's important to detect and treat eating disorders as early as possible. Treatment for eating disorders can vary from therapy visits to inpatient treatment, depending on the disorder and its severity. Treatment aims to not only restore physical health and correct negative behaviors, but to also promote psychological well-being and self-confidence.

Sexual Health Issues

Sexual health is a broad and loosely defined term that encompasses several extremely different areas of medicine. Sexual health not only includes physical health related to the act of sex, but also emotional, mental, or identity issues that can interfere with healthy sexuality. Because this scope is so broad, a huge number of health care professionals can accurately say they work in the sexual health specialty. Some of the many varied conditions included in sexual health include intimacy disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, LGBTQ issues, and sexual violence.

Sexual intimacy disorders are those that cause problems with the act of sexual intercourse, such as erectile dysfunction or vulvodynia. Erectile dysfunction, the inability to get or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual intercourse, is extremely common. It affects fully half of men over 40 to some degree. It is treated with medications, devices, or surgery. Vulvodynia, burning pain in the vulva that can be made worse with sexal activity, has no known cause. It is treated with oral or topical medications.

Sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, are bacterial or viral infections that are contagious in the bodily fluids exchanged during sexual contact. Barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, help prevent the spread of STDs. HIV is a virus that can be caught from an infected person's sexual fluids or blood. When the virus infects the body, it interferes with the immune system and causes the disease known as AIDS. There is no cure, but anti-viral medications can help people with AIDS live a long and healthy life. Herpes is also a virus found in sexual fluids, called HSV-2. It causes blisters that come and go on the genitals. There is no cure for herpes, but anti-virals can minimize outbreaks. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both bacterial infections. They are extremely common and often have no symptoms. The most common signs of an infection are burning pain and discharge. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can be treated with medications.

Reproductive health refers to both contraception and infertility treatment. Contraceptives prevent and plan the timing of pregnancy. Some, such as a vasectomy or tubal ligation, are extremely effective at preventing pregnancy. Others, such as spermicides, are less reliable. Popular contraceptives include condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, and diaphragms. On the other side of reproductive health, infertility is the inability to carry a pregnancy to term after one year of trying. It can be due to problems in either the man or the woman, and both genders are affected equally. In total, about 15% of the population suffer from infertility. Infertility treatments include medications and surgery.

Gay and transgender people have a few specific health care needs that may sometimes fall under the sexual health umbrella. First, many LGBT people still face discrimination from healthcare providers, so providing supportive and appropriate care is an issue. Because of social attitudes surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity, many gay and transgender people struggle with their identities. Rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide are all higher in this group. Providing mental health support and counseling to those in transition is critical. Finally, transgender patients who are undergoing gender affirmation require sensitive medical health care, including surgical and hormonal treatment.

Sexual violence can be defined as any unwanted or non-consensual sexual activity. It ranges from sexual harassment to touching to rape. It affects women more than men and is widespread: 1 in 4 women report being victims of sexual violence at the hands of a partner, and as many as 1 in 3 girls report their first sexual contact as being violent. Sexual violence has lasting physical and emotional consequences for victims, but educating both girls and boys can prevent violence. Care for those who have endured sexual violence includes counseling and mental health support, medical care, and legal support.

Sexuality is more than a reproductive requirement -- it is a form of expression and identity. Sexual health blends all these aspects of experience together and helps people lead sexually fulfilling lives.

Dr. Sharma is extra busy, has a lot of patients as she has built her practice. In spite of this, she had room made to see me for my heart/chest pains. Getting in to see her in a hurry for an emergency is difficult because she has such a heavy patient schedule. It was good of her to have me wedged into her other appointments once she and her assistant saw that I had an Emergency. She did this before also. I would not fault any Doctor for building up their practice. Dr. Sharma speaks/communicates well and knows medicine quite well, well trained and her experience keeps increasing so she knows a whole lot about medicine/treating conditions.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ruchi Sharma since before Covid. I went to see her for travel shots and information many years ago. I was delighted to have a doctor who not only explained things to me in a respectful way, but to have such a well informed doctor as well. I have never felt rushed or brushed aside by doctor Sharma when I would ask her questions. I have trusted my life with her and am devastated that I need to move to senior care and can no longer visit Dr. Ruchi Sharma's office. She has been the best doctor in my whole life, and I have seen many as a military dependent of senior officers. She is the very best doctor I know.

Dr. Sharma is always prepared having carefully reviewed my latest medical information and recommendations from my recent Urgent Care physician and Emergency Care physician. She asked a lot of follow up questions to make sure that she understood my current situation. After her careful physical examination she made a few recommendations on actions to take at home and prescribed a few Rx changes. She invested a lot of time and effort to make me feel comfortable, confident and accepting her recommendations. Kudos to Doctor Sharma and her nursing assistant for making my visit pleasant and rewarding.

Dr. Sharma is both exceptionally capable and exceptionally busy. We are grateful to her that she made it a point to learn of my emergency medical situation and break up her busy schedule to examine and treat me. The Treatment has worked.I got an exceptionally hazardous material on my fingers, especially my finger tips. All the skin I touched or even was near with my finger tips rashed, swelled, turned red.We are Grateful to Dr. Sharma for scheduling me in, no small feat, seeing me, treating me. Yes, also, she knows what she is doing - Excellent Medical Doctor

Dr. Sharma is very thorough in her questioning technique, follow-up questions and answers to my responses and questions. She Is quick to take decisive action, e.g. When the EKG revealed an abnormality and the reviewing cardiologist recommended that I go to the emergency room for a follow-up examination. She immediately sent me on to the emergency room. After the follow up exam I was told to make an appointment with a cardiologist. I have the appointment and I think that whatever the issues are will soon be resolved.

When I wrote to the doctor on my chart she canceled my appointment that I had for April and said she wanted me to come in as soon as possible.I have diabetes and she wanted to see what I was telling her about my leg with discoloring and swelling. I was lucky to get an early appointment that week. She decided to go ahead and have blood tests done and canceled April tests to be done. She also told me to prop that leg up, and if the spot got darker to call. She was very thorough!

Dr. Sharma is an amazing Provider, straight forward, tough, honest, yet still caring and kind. It's not an easy balance. Every interaction with Dr. Sharma Feels genuine. She's an asset to PacMed.The last Provider that Ive seen most recently at PacMed needs extensive training classes in diversity, bedside manner etiquette, respect, and kindness- After my last visit the Provider made me feel like I didn't want to ever come back to PacMed. But I'm glad that I did, thank you.

Dr, Sharma has been my primary care physician since 2016 and is absolutely fantastic. She listens to her patients and treats them with respect, is up-to-date on current medical care and solutions across the board, is thorough and professional in explaining health issues and treatments and takes time with me as her patient. I couldn't ask for a better internist, especially as a person with chronic and complex medical issues.
