Frequently Asked Questions
Can I continue seeing my therapist while also seeing a psychiatrist?
Yes, and this combination is often recommended. Psychiatrists typically focus on diagnosis and medication management, while therapists provide psychotherapy. Coordinated care between both providers generally produces better outcomes.
What happens during a first psychiatric evaluation?
The initial evaluation typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes and involves a comprehensive review of your mental health history, current symptoms, medications, medical history, family history, and social context. The provider will discuss possible diagnoses and treatment options at the end of the visit.
Is medication always part of psychiatric treatment?
Not necessarily. Medication is one tool among many. Some patients benefit primarily from therapy, lifestyle changes, or structured support programs. Your provider will discuss all appropriate options based on your diagnosis and preferences.
