Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Psychiatric care with Dr. Roman:
- What is the main difference between a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist?
- Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD or DO) who can prescribe medication, while psychologists (PhD or PsyD) are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication. They often collaborate to provide comprehensive care, combining medication management with talk therapy and psychological testing.
- Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?
- While a referral from your primary care doctor can be helpful, many insurance plans do not require one. It's always best to check with your specific insurance plan to confirm coverage details and any referral requirements before scheduling an appointment with Dr. Roman.
- How long will it take for my medication to start working?
- Most psychiatric medications, especially antidepressants, take several weeks (4-6 weeks, on average) to show their full effects. Patience and regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Roman are important to monitor progress and adjust the dosage as needed.
- Will I have to be on medication forever?
- The duration of medication is highly individualized and depends on your specific condition and progress. Some conditions may respond well to short-term treatment, while others may require ongoing maintenance. This will be discussed and reviewed regularly with Dr. Roman.
- What should I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation?
- Your first appointment with Dr. Roman will involve a comprehensive discussion of your symptoms, medical and family history, and current life circumstances. This allows Dr. Roman to gain a thorough understanding of your situation and develop an accurate diagnosis. It's a collaborative conversation, the first step toward creating a personalized treatment plan.
- What is the difference between anxiety and an anxiety disorder?
- Feeling anxious is a normal human response to stress. An anxiety disorder, however, involves excessive, persistent worry that's hard to control and significantly impacts daily life. Dr. Roman can help determine if your symptoms meet the criteria for a disorder and require treatment.
- Can a psychiatrist help with ADHD in adults?
- Yes, psychiatrists are experts in diagnosing and treating adult ADHD. Dr. Roman can perform a thorough evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and manage both medication (stimulant and non-stimulant options) and therapeutic strategies to help improve focus and daily functioning.
- What is TMS therapy and who is it for?
- TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive nerve cells in the brain, often helpful for depression. It's an FDA-approved, medication-free option typically for adults with major depression who haven't responded to antidepressant medications.
