Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Womesh Sahadeo:

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. Womesh Sahadeo?

Your first visit with Dr. Sahadeo 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. Sahadeo 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.

How are panic attacks treated with medication?

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

What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression that uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It's a safe and effective option for those who haven't found relief with antidepressants, potentially preventing symptoms.

Can you provide therapy in addition to medication management?

Dr. Sahadeo offers psychotherapy alongside medication management. A collaborative approach is used, working closely with any other therapist to create a comprehensive treatment plan. This ensures a cohesive strategy for addressing both the medical and psychological aspects of a patient's needs.

What is a 'dual diagnosis'?

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

What is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe, modern medical procedure for severe mental health conditions, such as 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 have failed to prevent life-threatening symptoms.
