Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Edward Rosa:

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

Dr. Rosa is a medical doctor specializing in mental health. Psychiatrists, unlike psychologists, are uniquely qualified to prescribe and manage medications, in addition to providing therapy. Psychologists are experts in psychotherapy and testing but do not prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Edward Rosa?

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

What is a 'dual diagnosis'?

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

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Dr. Rosa'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 also be prescribed for use during acute episodes.

Do you treat children and adolescents?

Dr. Rosa's practice focuses on adult psychiatry.

What is the medical approach to treating addiction?

Dr. Rosa's approach to addiction treatment is a comprehensive medical model. This includes FDA-approved medications like Suboxone® or Vivitrol®, which can help reduce cravings and prevent relapse. The practice combines this medical treatment with counseling and support to maximize the chance of long-term recovery.

What is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe, modern medical procedure used to treat severe mental health conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression. Performed under general anesthesia, it involves a brief, controlled electrical stimulation of the brain. It's a highly effective option when other treatments have not been successful, preventing potentially life-threatening symptoms.
