Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Eileen Glocer:

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

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) 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 medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Eileen Glocer?

Your first visit with Dr. Glocer will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment. This includes reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and life circumstances to accurately diagnose your needs. This initial evaluation 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. Glocer will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, with you. Medication is a collaborative decision, recommended when it is the most effective tool for improving your quality of life and preventing symptoms from worsening.

Can you help with sleep problems like insomnia?

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

What is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe, modern medical procedure used 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 have failed, ECT can be a highly effective option to prevent life-threatening symptoms.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Dr. Glocer'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 panic attacks. Fast-acting anti-anxiety medications may be prescribed for use during acute episodes.

How long will I need to be on psychiatric medication?

The duration of psychiatric medication is highly individualized, depending on your specific condition and response to treatment. 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 an ongoing conversation with Dr. Glocer.

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

Psychiatric medications, like antidepressants or mood stabilizers, help correct chemical imbalances in the brain, creating a foundation of stability. This 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.
