Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Alida Reinoso:

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

Dr. Reinoso is a medical doctor specializing in mental health. Unlike psychologists, psychiatrists are uniquely qualified to prescribe and manage medications, in addition to providing therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, are experts in psychotherapy and testing but do not prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Alida Reinoso?

Your first visit with Dr. Reinoso will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment. This will cover your medical history, symptoms, and life circumstances to help 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. Reinoso will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, and medication will be considered only when it is the most effective tool to improve your quality of life and prevent symptoms from worsening.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Dr. Reinoso's practice uses a two-pronged approach to medication for panic attacks. Daily preventive medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), help reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks. Fast-acting anti-anxiety medications may also be prescribed for use during acute episodes.

What is involved in geriatric psychiatry?

Geriatric psychiatry is a specialized field focused on the mental health of older adults. It involves diagnosing and managing conditions like late-life depression, anxiety, and the behavioral symptoms of dementia. Our expertise includes safe medication prescribing for seniors, considering their often complex medication regimens.

Do you treat children and adolescents?

Can you help with sleep problems like insomnia?
