Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pediatric psychiatrist?
A pediatric psychiatrist specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and teens, such as ADHD, anxiety, mood changes, and behavioral challenges. They conduct age-appropriate evaluations and, when needed, provide medication management alongside therapy, working closely with families throughout treatment.
What does an adult psychiatrist treat?
An adult psychiatrist evaluates and treats conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through medication management, often in coordination with therapy. Treatment is tailored to each person’s symptoms, history, and goals, with regular follow-up to monitor progress.
Do I need therapy before seeing a psychiatrist?
Not necessarily. While psychiatry and therapy often work best together, you can start with a psychiatric evaluation on its own. Based on your needs, our provider may recommend combining medication management with counseling for more comprehensive care.
