Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
What does a psychiatrist for anxiety do?
A psychiatrist for anxiety is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating anxiety disorders with medication. They conduct comprehensive evaluations to determine your specific anxiety type, prescribe anti-anxiety medications, monitor your response to treatment, adjust dosages as needed, and manage any side effects. Unlike therapists who provide talk therapy, psychiatrists focus on the biological and medication aspects of anxiety treatment.
What medications do psychiatrists prescribe for anxiety?
Psychiatrists commonly prescribe SSRIs, SNRIs, non-benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medications, and in some cases short-term relief medications. The choice of medication depends on your specific anxiety type, symptom severity, other medications you take, and medical history. Our psychiatrists take time to find the right medication with the fewest side effects for your situation.
How quickly can I see an anxiety psychiatrist near me?
At Empathy Health Clinic, we typically offer same-week appointments for new patients seeking anxiety treatment. Many patients can be seen within 3-5 business days. We understand that anxiety symptoms can be debilitating and prioritize getting you in quickly. Call 386-848-8751 to schedule your appointment.
Should I see a psychiatrist or therapist for anxiety?
Both can be helpful, and many patients benefit from seeing both. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who prescribe and manage medications. Therapists provide talk therapy like CBT to help you develop coping skills. If your anxiety is moderate to severe, significantly impacts daily functioning, or hasn't improved with therapy alone, seeing a psychiatrist for medication can be very effective. We can also refer you to therapists who specialize in anxiety.
Does insurance cover anxiety psychiatry appointments?
Yes, most health insurance plans cover psychiatric services for anxiety disorders. We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and more. Contact our office at 386-848-8751 to verify your specific coverage before your appointment.
How long does anxiety medication take to work?
It depends on the medication type. Some medications like SSRIs and SNRIs take 2-4 weeks to reach full effectiveness because they work by gradually changing brain chemistry. Other medications can provide relief within 30-60 minutes for acute symptoms. Our psychiatrists will explain what to expect with your specific medication and schedule follow-ups to monitor your progress.
