Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Revanna Krupa:

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 do not prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Revanna Krupa?

Your first visit with Dr. Krupa will involve a comprehensive medical and psychiatric evaluation. This will cover your medical history, symptoms, and life circumstances to accurately diagnose your needs. This initial assessment is the first step in developing a holistic treatment plan, which may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both.

Do I have to take medication if I see a psychiatrist?

Dr. Krupa will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes. 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.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

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

What is the medical approach to treating addiction?

Dr. Krupa's approach to addiction combines FDA-approved medications, like Suboxone® or Vivitrol®, to reduce cravings and prevent relapse, with counseling and support. This comprehensive medical approach provides patients with the best chance for long-term recovery.

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, to prevent life-threatening symptoms.

Do you treat children and adolescents?

Dr. Krupa's practice focuses on adult psychiatry.

Do you offer telepsychiatry (virtual) appointments?

Yes, Dr. Krupa offers telepsychiatry appointments. This allows for convenient and accessible care, including medication management, from the comfort and privacy of your home via secure video.
