Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Juan Quiros:

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

Dr. Quiros is a medical doctor specializing in mental health. Psychiatrists, unlike psychologists, 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. Juan Quiros?

Your first visit with Dr. Quiros 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?

Dr. Quiros will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes. Medication is a collaborative decision, recommended when it's the most effective tool to improve your quality of life and prevent symptoms from worsening.

How do you diagnose ADHD in adults?

Dr. Quiros'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 the use of standardized rating scales. This thorough process ensures an accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan to prevent life impairment.

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

Psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers, help correct chemical imbalances in the brain, creating stability. This stability allows you to fully engage in therapy and use your coping skills effectively, which is key to preventing future episodes. Consistent treatment is crucial for long-term well-being.

What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression that doesn't involve medication. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate underactive nerve cells in the brain. It's a safe and effective option for those who haven't found relief with antidepressants.

Can you help with sleep problems like insomnia?

Yes, Dr. Quiros is experienced in sleep-wake disorders. He will first rule out any underlying causes and then recommend treatments, including behavioral therapies and, when appropriate, sleep medications.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

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