Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Eduardo Mirabal:

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

Dr. Mirabal 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 are experts in psychotherapy and testing but cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Eduardo Mirabal?

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

What is a 'dual diagnosis'?

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

Do you treat children and adolescents?

Dr. Mirabal's practice focuses on adult psychiatry.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

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

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Mirabal offers both medication management and psychotherapy. He utilizes a collaborative approach, working closely with patients' therapists to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan. This integrated approach aims to address both the biological and psychological aspects of mental health.

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 team has extensive experience in safe medication prescribing for seniors, considering their often complex medication profiles.
