Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Gloria Oyeniyi:

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

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in mental health. They can prescribe and manage medication, 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. Gloria Oyeniyi?

Your first visit with Dr. Oyeniyi will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment, covering your medical history, symptoms, and life circumstances. This will help determine an accurate diagnosis and develop 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. Oyeniyi will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, and medication is a collaborative decision, recommended when it's the most effective tool for improving quality of life.

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 profiles.

What is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe, modern medical procedure for severe mental health conditions, like 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 does Dr. Gloria Oyeniyi manage medication side effects?

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

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Dr. Oyeniyi'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.

How long will I need to be on psychiatric medication?

The duration of psychiatric medication is highly individualized and depends on your specific condition. 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 a discussion best had with Dr. Oyeniyi.
