Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Quan Do:

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, while experts in psychotherapy and testing, are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Quan Do?

Your first visit with Dr. Quan Do 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?

No, medication is not required. Dr. Do will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, and medication is a collaborative decision, recommended only when it is the most effective tool for improving your quality of life and preventing symptoms from worsening.

How long will I need to be on psychiatric medication?

The duration of psychiatric medication is highly individualized, depending on your specific condition and response to treatment. For some, it may be short-term, while for others, it's a long-term strategy to manage symptoms and prevent relapse, similar to managing other chronic conditions. This is an ongoing conversation with Dr. Do.

Do you treat children and adolescents?

Dr. Do's practice focuses on adult psychiatry.

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Do offers both medication management and psychotherapy. A collaborative approach is used, working closely with patients' therapists to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan.

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 a stable foundation for therapy and the use of coping skills. Consistent treatment is key in preventing future episodes of depression or bipolar disorder.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

Dr. Do's practice uses a two-pronged approach. Daily preventive medications, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), help reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks. Fast-acting anti-anxiety medications may also be prescribed for acute episodes as needed.
