Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Roya Ghadimi:

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 are experts in psychotherapy and testing, but they do not prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Roya Ghadimi?

Your first visit with Dr. Ghadimi 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. Ghadimi will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, to determine the best approach for you. Medication is a collaborative decision, considered when it's the most effective way to manage symptoms and improve your well-being.

What is a 'dual diagnosis'?

A dual diagnosis means having both a substance use disorder and another mental health condition, such as depression. Dr. Ghadimi is trained to treat both conditions simultaneously, as integrated treatment is key to successful, long-term recovery.

How do you diagnose ADHD in adults?

Dr. Ghadimi's comprehensive evaluation for adult ADHD goes beyond a simple checklist. It includes a detailed interview about lifelong symptoms, a review of school and work history, and standardized rating scales. This thorough process ensures an accurate diagnosis, crucial for developing an effective treatment plan to prevent life impairment.

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 condition. For some, it may be short-term, while for others, it's a long-term management tool, similar to taking medication for high blood pressure. This is an ongoing conversation with Dr. Ghadimi.

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Ghadimi offers psychotherapy in addition to medication management. She uses a collaborative approach, working closely with patients' therapists to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan. This ensures that all aspects of mental health are addressed.

What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression that does not involve medication. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate nerve cells in the brain that are underactive in depression. This can be a safe and effective option for preventing symptoms in those who haven't found relief with antidepressants.
