Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Jordan Iserman:

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

Dr. Iserman is a medical doctor (MD) specializing in mental health. Unlike psychologists, psychiatrists 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. Jordan Iserman?

Your first visit with Dr. Iserman will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment. This includes reviewing 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. Iserman will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes. Medication is a collaborative decision, recommended when it is the most effective tool for preventing symptoms from worsening and improving quality of life.

How does Dr. Jordan Iserman manage medication side effects?

Dr. Iserman is experienced in managing medication side effects. We prioritize finding the medication with the most benefit and fewest side effects. He will start with low doses, closely monitor your response, and adjust dosages or medications as needed to find the best fit for you.

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. Iserman is trained to treat both conditions simultaneously, recognizing that integrated treatment is essential for successful, long-term recovery.

How do you diagnose ADHD in adults?

Dr. Iserman's comprehensive evaluation for adult ADHD goes beyond a simple checklist. It includes a detailed interview about lifelong symptoms, a review of school and work history, and standardized rating scales. This thorough process ensures an accurate diagnosis to develop an effective treatment plan and prevent potential life impairments.

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 effectively use coping skills. Consistent treatment is key to preventing future episodes.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Dr. Iserman's approach to panic attacks often involves a two-pronged strategy. Daily preventive medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), help reduce the overall frequency and intensity of attacks. Fast-acting anti-anxiety medications may also be prescribed for use as needed during acute episodes.
