Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Reeyaz Esack:

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

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in mental health. They can prescribe and manage medications, in addition to providing therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, are experts in psychotherapy and testing but cannot prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Reeyaz Esack?

Your first visit with Dr. Esack 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. Esack will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, and medication is a collaborative decision, recommended only when it's the most effective way to improve your quality of life and prevent symptoms from worsening.

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Esack 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 optimizes patient outcomes.

A dual diagnosis means having both a substance use disorder, like alcohol addiction, and another mental health condition, such as depression, at the same time. Dr. Esack is trained to treat both conditions simultaneously, recognizing that integrated treatment is crucial for successful, long-term recovery.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

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