Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Psychiatric care with Tate Rubley:
- 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.
- 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. Rubley can help determine if your symptoms meet the criteria for a disorder and require treatment.
- 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 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. Rubley will involve a comprehensive discussion of your symptoms, medical and family history, and current life circumstances. This allows Dr. Rubley to gain a thorough understanding of your situation and develop an accurate diagnosis. It's a collaborative conversation, the first step toward a personalized treatment plan.
- 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 be managed with short-term medication, while others require long-term maintenance. We will discuss this with you regularly to determine the best course of action for your needs.
- How long will it take for my medication to start working?
- Most psychiatric medications, especially antidepressants, don't work immediately. It often takes several weeks (4-6 weeks, sometimes longer) to feel the full effects. Patience and regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Rubley are important to monitor progress and adjust the dosage as needed.
- 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. It's performed under general anesthesia, and modern ECT is very different from its cinematic portrayals. It's considered a frontline treatment option for severe cases.
