Getting to Know P.S. Psychiatry
Common Questions About Us
Q
Does P.S. Psychiatry always think medication is necessary?
At P.S. Psychiatry, you and your provider become a team to treat your mental health issues. If you prefer medication, your provider will discuss the best options for your symptoms once a diagnosis is made. If you're uncertain about medication and prefer natural alternatives, we can explore those options together. Your preferences are highly valued, and you will work closely with your provider to determine the best treatment plan.
Q
Will myself or my child receive a diagnosis from our provider in the first session?
Our providers will assess features and characteristics in the first session to establish a diagnosis. If a diagnosis is not clear in the first session, your provider may suggest psychological testing or request written consent to consult with your therapist to gather more information. Our greatest priority is your safety and ensuring that you receive the best quality of care.
Q
I’ve tried many psychiatric medication in the past and either there were troublesome side effects or they just didn’t work. How would it be different this time?
We consider ourselves cutting-edge in prescribing psychiatric medication. Our providers stay updated on the latest research regarding new, more effective medications with the least side effects. We will review your medication history to understand how your biology and neurology have responded to medication in the past.
Q
What if my child is sedated or like a zombie on the meds you prescribe?
No parent wants their child to appear shut down or robotic due to medication meant to help them. Our providers are knowledgeable about medication side effects, but everyone's biology is unique. If your child becomes sedated from the medication we prescribe, please contact us as soon as possible, and we will address your concern and make the necessary adjustments.
Q
How often do we have to see the psychiatrist for my child/teen once prescribed a medication?
The frequency of visits with our psychiatric health care providers is determined on a case-by-case basis by your provider. The frequency of visits will be based on many variables that your provider can explain.
Q
I'm afraid my child will get addicted to their medication. Do you prescribe addictive meds to children/teens?
Our psychiatric health care providers are on top of the latest research and are conservative when giving habit-forming or addictive medications. Your provider will consider several factors before prescribing an addictive medication.
Q
Can my child/teen just go to the pediatrician/family doctor for medication, or do they have to go to a psychiatrist?
Many Family Practices and Pediatricians avoid prescribing psychiatric medication. You should contact your physician’s office and inquire about their policy. However, going to a P.S. Psychiatry provider guarantees that you’re talking to someone specializing in psychiatric medicine who stays up to date on the most modern treatments.
Q
Does your practice do the genetic test to show which meds are better than others for my child or me?
Yes. Our practice does recommend genetic testing to ensure you’re getting the most effective medication for your unique genetic makeup. Since we are virtual, the test will be delivered directly to your home, where you will administer it to yourself or your child. The results are sent electronically to your provider and yourself approximately one to two weeks later. Once the results are received, your provider will explain the test results to you and discuss the next steps..
