Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Psychiatric care with Dr. Peccora:
- 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) 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 always best to check with your specific insurance plan to confirm coverage details and any referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- Can you help with addiction or substance use problems?
- Yes, Dr. Peccora specializes in treating substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and manage these conditions. She can perform a comprehensive evaluation, manage withdrawal, and prescribe medications like Suboxone® to help reduce cravings and support recovery.
- 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 and persistent worry that is difficult to control and interferes with daily life. Dr. Peccora can help determine if your symptoms meet the criteria for a disorder and require treatment.
- Do all psychiatrists only prescribe medication? Do you also provide therapy?
- While psychiatrists are primarily trained in medication management, many, including Dr. Peccora, also provide psychotherapy. Treatment plans are personalized and may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both, depending on individual needs.
- Can a psychiatrist help with ADHD in adults?
- Yes, psychiatrists are experts in diagnosing and treating adult ADHD. Dr. Peccora can perform a thorough evaluation, and manage both medication (stimulant and non-stimulant options) and therapeutic strategies to help improve focus and daily functioning.
- 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 like treatment-resistant depression. Performed under general anesthesia, it involves brief electrical pulses to the brain. Modern ECT is very different from the outdated portrayals in movies and is considered a frontline treatment for severe cases.
- 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 reach their full effectiveness. Patience and regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Peccora are essential to monitor your progress and adjust your dosage as needed.
