Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Psychiatric care with Dr. Warmann:
- What is the main difference between a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist?
- Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD or DO) who can prescribe medication. Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) specialize in psychotherapy and psychological testing. They often collaborate to provide comprehensive care.
- 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 best to check with your specific insurance plan to confirm coverage details and any referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- Will I have to be on medication forever?
- The duration of medication is highly individualized and depends on your specific condition and treatment plan. Some conditions may require short-term treatment, while others may benefit from ongoing maintenance. We will discuss this with you regularly to adjust treatment as needed based on your progress and goals.
- What is TMS therapy and who is it for?
- TMS is a non-invasive treatment using magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive nerve cells in the brain, often helpful for adults with major depression who haven't responded to antidepressant medications. It's an FDA-approved, medication-free option.
- Do all psychiatrists only prescribe medication? Do you also provide therapy?
- While psychiatrists are experts in medication management, many, including Dr. Warmann, also provide psychotherapy. Treatment plans are personalized and may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both, based on individual needs.
- Can you help with addiction or substance use problems?

This allows Dr. Warmann 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 ECT and is it safe?
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and highly effective medical procedure used to treat severe mental health conditions, including treatment-resistant depression.
