Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Deep Kalariya:

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

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in mental health, able to prescribe and manage medication, as well as provide therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, are experts in psychotherapy and testing, but are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Deep Kalariya?

Your first visit with Dr. Kalariya will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment. This will cover 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?

Dr. Kalariya will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes. Medication is a collaborative decision, recommended when it is the most effective tool for preventing symptoms from worsening and improving quality of life.

How does Dr. Deep Kalariya manage medication side effects?

Dr. Kalariya is dedicated to finding the medication that provides the most benefit with the fewest side effects. He starts with low doses, closely monitors your response, and is skilled at adjusting dosages or changing medications to achieve the best possible outcome.

What is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe, modern medical procedure for severe mental health conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression. It's performed under general anesthesia and involves a brief, controlled electrical stimulation of the brain. When other treatments haven't worked, ECT can be a highly effective option to prevent life-threatening symptoms.

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.

What is a 'dual diagnosis'?

A dual diagnosis means having both a substance use disorder, like alcohol addiction, and another mental health condition, such as depression, at the same time. Dr. Kalariya is trained to treat both conditions simultaneously, as integrated treatment is key to successful, long-term recovery.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

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