Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Adil Mohammed:

What is a Psychiatrist, and how are they different from a Psychologist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in mental health. They can prescribe and manage medications, in addition to providing therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, are experts in psychotherapy and testing, but are not able to prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Adil Mohammed?

Your first visit with Dr. Mohammed will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment. We will review your medical history, symptoms, and life circumstances to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. This is the first step in developing a holistic treatment plan, which may include medication, therapy, or both.

Do I have to take medication if I see a psychiatrist?

No, medication is not required. Dr. Mohammed will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, to determine the best approach for you. Medication is a collaborative decision, considered when it best helps prevent symptoms from worsening and improve your quality of life.

How can medication help prevent a relapse of my depression or bipolar disorder?

Psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers, help to correct chemical imbalances in the brain, creating a foundation for stability. This stability allows you to fully engage in therapy and utilize your coping skills, significantly reducing the risk of future episodes. Consistent treatment is key to preventing relapses.

What is the medical approach to treating addiction?

Dr. Mohammed's approach to addiction treatment is a comprehensive medical model. This includes FDA-approved medications like Suboxone® or Vivitrol® to manage cravings and prevent relapse, along with counseling and support to foster lasting recovery. This combination of medical and behavioral therapies gives patients the best chance for long-term success.

How long will I need to be on psychiatric medication?

The duration of psychiatric medication is highly individualized, depending on your specific needs and condition. For some, it may be short-term, while for others, it's a long-term management strategy, similar to managing high blood pressure. This is a discussion we'll have together with Dr. Mohammed.

Can you help with sleep problems like insomnia?

Yes, Dr. Mohammed is an expert in sleep-wake disorders. We will first rule out any underlying causes and then recommend treatments, including behavioral therapies and, when appropriate, safe and effective sleep medications.

What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression that doesn't use medication. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate underactive nerve cells in the brain, offering a safe and effective option for preventing symptoms in those who haven't found relief with antidepressants.
