Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for psychiatric medications to work?
Most antidepressants and mood stabilizers require two to four weeks before meaningful symptom improvement occurs. Your prescribing provider will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor response and adjust treatment as needed.
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.
