Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Psychiatric care with Jennifer Roberts-Clayton:
- 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) are not medical doctors and do not prescribe medication. They specialize in psychotherapy and psychological testing. Often, psychiatrists and psychologists 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 don't require one. It's best to check with your specific insurance plan to confirm coverage details and any referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- Do all psychiatrists only prescribe medication? Do you also provide therapy?
- While a psychiatrist's primary expertise is medication management, many, including Dr. Roberts-Clayton, also incorporate psychotherapy into their sessions or offer therapy-only appointments. The treatment plan is personalized and may involve medication, therapy, or a combination of both, tailored to the individual's needs.
- What is ECT and is it safe?
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and highly effective medical procedure used to treat treatment-resistant depression and other severe mental health conditions. Performed under general anesthesia, modern ECT is very different from older portrayals and is considered a frontline treatment option for severe cases.
- Can a psychiatrist help with ADHD in adults?
- Yes, psychiatrists are experts in diagnosing and treating adult ADHD. Dr. Roberts-Clayton 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.
- What should I expect during my first psychiatric evaluation?
- Your first appointment with Dr. Roberts-Clayton will involve a comprehensive discussion of your symptoms, medical history, family history, and current life circumstances. This allows her to gain a thorough understanding of your situation and develop an accurate diagnosis. It's a collaborative conversation, the first step in 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 and persistent worry that is difficult to control and interferes with daily life. Dr. Roberts-Clayton can help determine if your symptoms meet the criteria for a disorder and require treatment.
