Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Jason Lulejian:

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

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who specializes in mental health. They are uniquely qualified to prescribe and manage medications, in addition to providing therapy. Psychologists, while skilled in psychotherapy and testing, are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Jason Lulejian?

Your first visit with Dr. Lulejian 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?

No, medication is not required. Dr. Lulejian will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, and medication is a collaborative decision, recommended only when it's the most effective tool to improve your quality of life and prevent symptoms from worsening.

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 use your coping skills, significantly reducing the risk of relapse. Consistent treatment is key to preventing future episodes.

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Lulejian offers both medication management and psychotherapy. He employs 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.

Dr. Lulejian leads the treatment team, monitoring physical health, managing co-occurring conditions with medication, and collaborating with therapists and dietitians to ensure a safe and effective recovery.

What is involved in geriatric psychiatry?

Geriatric psychiatry is a specialized field focusing 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 management for seniors, considering their often complex medication profiles.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?
