Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Psychiatric care with Dr. Yakov Niyazov:

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 also trained in therapy, do not prescribe medication.

What can I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Yakov Niyazov?

Your first visit with Dr. Niyazov 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?

Dr. Niyazov will discuss all treatment options, including psychotherapy and lifestyle changes. Medication is a collaborative decision, recommended when it is the most effective tool for improving your quality of life and preventing symptoms from worsening.

What is the medical approach to treating addiction?

Dr. Niyazov's approach to addiction treatment is a comprehensive medical model. This includes FDA-approved medications like Suboxone® or Vivitrol® to reduce cravings and prevent relapse. He combines these medical treatments with counseling and support to provide patients with the best chance of long-term recovery.

What is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe, modern medical procedure used for severe mental health conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression. Performed under general anesthesia, it involves a brief, controlled electrical stimulation of the brain. When other treatments have failed, ECT can be a highly effective option to prevent life-threatening symptoms.

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 prevent relapse, similar to managing other chronic health conditions. This is something we will discuss with you in detail during your appointments with Dr. Niyazov.

What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?

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

How can medication help prevent a relapse of my depression or bipolar disorder?

Psychiatric medications, like antidepressants or mood stabilizers, work to correct chemical imbalances in the brain, creating a stable foundation for therapy and coping skill development. Consistent treatment is crucial for preventing future episodes of depression or bipolar disorder.
