Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of seeing a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist has completed specialized medical training, residency, and a fellowship program focused on the treatment of mental health conditions and use of psychotropic medications. They have an in-depth understanding of neuroscience and have extensive clinical experience. They have a more specialized understanding than a general physician.
When should I consider seeing a psychiatrist?
- If you’d like to understand more about the diagnosis
- If you’d like to learn more about if medication can help
- If the symptoms are impacting daily functioning and are not resolving after a period of therapy treatment
Aren’t children too young for medication?
Children’s developing brains are especially unique when it comes to understanding how medication can help. Several clinical studies confirm that medication can have a positive impact on child functioning when managed in the right context. Dr. Randhava takes special consideration to each child’s unique family dynamic and mental health situation to choose carefully if medication will be a good tool and does not rely on them unless considered essential.
How often are appointments?
Dr. Randhava completes an initial diagnostic appointment in 50 minutes as the first session. A medical treatment plan and goals will be outlined during this session.
