Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Jahanbakhsh Nasserzare:

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 are uniquely qualified to prescribe and manage medications, in addition to providing therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, are PhD/PsyD-level experts in psychotherapy and testing, but cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Jahanbakhsh Nasserzare?

Your first visit with Dr. Nasserzare will be a comprehensive assessment of your medical and psychiatric history. We will discuss your symptoms, life circumstances, and medical history 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?

No, medication is not required. Dr. Nasserzare will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, to determine the best approach for you. Medication is a collaborative decision, considered when it is the most effective tool to improve your symptoms and quality of life.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Treatment often involves 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.

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Nasserzare offers psychotherapy in addition to medication management. His approach is collaborative, working closely with patients' therapists to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan. He emphasizes a holistic approach to mental health care.

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. Nasserzare is trained to treat both conditions simultaneously, as integrated treatment is key to successful, long-term recovery.

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

Psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers, help by correcting chemical imbalances in the brain. This creates a stable foundation for therapy and the development of coping skills, significantly reducing the risk of relapse. Consistent medication use is a crucial part of preventing future episodes.

Can you help with sleep problems like insomnia?

Yes, Dr. Nasserzare is an expert in sleep-wake disorders. We 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.
