Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Noel Delgadillo:

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

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in mental health. They can diagnose and treat mental illnesses, including prescribing and managing medications, in addition to providing therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, are experts in psychotherapy and testing, but are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Noel Delgadillo?

Your first visit with Dr. Delgadillo 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. Delgadillo 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.

What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?

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

What is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe, modern medical procedure used for severe mental health conditions like treatment-resistant depression. Performed under general anesthesia, it involves a brief, controlled electrical stimulation of the brain. It's a highly effective option when other treatments haven't worked, helping to prevent life-threatening symptoms.
