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

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Leonid Remenson?

Your first visit with Dr. Remenson will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric evaluation. This will cover your medical history, current symptoms, and life circumstances to accurately diagnose your needs. This assessment 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. Remenson will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes. Medication is a collaborative decision, recommended when it is the most effective tool for improving your quality of life and preventing symptoms from worsening.

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

What is the role of a psychiatrist in treating eating disorders?

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Remenson offers both medication management and psychotherapy. He utilizes a collaborative approach, working closely with patients' therapists to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan. This integrated care model aims to address both the medical and psychological aspects of mental health.

How long will I need to be on psychiatric medication?

The duration of psychiatric medication is highly individualized and depends on your specific needs and the condition being treated. For some, it may be short-term, while for others, it's a long-term management strategy, similar to managing other chronic health conditions. This is a discussion best had with Dr. Remenson.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Dr. Remenson's practice uses a two-pronged approach: daily preventive medications, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), to reduce the overall frequency and intensity of panic attacks; and fast-acting anti-anxiety medications, used as needed, for acute episodes.
