  Therapy

  A therapist is a professionally trained individual that can help you work through various mental health issues and/or transitional periods in your life. You might need a therapist if you are struggling to understand yourself, your emotions, your feelings, etc. You might need a therapist if you are feeling sad more often than you’d like, or if you feel anxious and cannot control your worrying. A therapist can help you get a handle on some of the things you struggle with; a therapist can help you understand yourself better and help you find healthy ways of coping with your feelings and life struggles. Sometimes it’s helpful to have an unbiased person to talk to; someone with whom you can speak freely and openly. A therapist can help you really get to know yourself and reflect on various things going on in your life, so you can continue growing into the best version of yourself.

  Psychiatric Consultations

  “A psychiatric consultation is a comprehensive evaluation of the psychological, biological, medical, and social causes of emotional distress” A psychiatric consultation is based on your psychological, biological, medical, and social causes of distress. We will work with you to review current and past stressors, along with any relevant lab work and medical records to come up with a feasible, appropriate treatment plan. The initial consultation is typically 45 minutes in length and consists of the patient’s history, symptoms, and goals in seeking treatment. We will make recommendations for treatment based on this initial consultation and may request lab work to determine possible options for treatment.

  Medication Management

  “It is common that patients are over/under medicated and it is important for ongoing monitoring of medications because the ideal dose can change over time.” With medication management, Dr. Ditzell will monitor the effectiveness of the prescribed medications, as well as the side effects (if any) and weigh the patients’ options. If the medication is not working effectively, adjustments will be made. At the Jeff Ditzell Psychiatry, we will sometimes utilize Assurex’s GeneSight test to find medications that will best work for the patient. This is a simple cheek-swab test to match specific medications that will work best based on the individual’s genetics.

  Addiction Treatment

  Addiction Treatment in New York You have to trust that full recovery is possible for you. With the right mindset, you can overcome the worst of addiction. Alcoholism and addiction are undoubtedly the most stigmatized and misunderstood illnesses in our society. Addiction is a chronic condition and should be treated as such; it occurs when the substance being abused changes the chemical activity in your brain. Any drug can be abused, from prescription medications to alcohol and illicit drugs. While illicit drugs are abused any time they are used, prescription medications are considered abused any time they are used in a manner other than as indicated by the prescribing clinician.

  Anxiety Treatment

  “Talking about the problem, putting it out there, was one of the scariest but most important things I’ve ever done.” ~Shawn Mendes Anxiety is defined as fear or nervousness about what might happen. As humans existing in this world, we experience things, people, events that cause us to worry; we have stressful situations that can be uncomfortable and cause us some anxiety – this keeps us alert and safe, it is our body’s natural defense mechanism. Having an anxiety disorder is not the same thing as having occasional anxiety. An anxiety disorder is an excessive, frequent fear or worry that is difficult to control. Knowing the difference between a healthy amount of stress or anxiety and an anxiety disorder can be very helpful in navigating your health journey.

  Depression Treatment

  What Is Depression? “For me, depression is not sadness. I felt worthless, like I had nothing to offer, like I was a failure. Now, after seeking help, I can see that those thoughts, of course, couldn’t have been more wrong” – Kristen Bell Characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness, depression is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Many people don’t understand the major depressive disorder, thinking it is just a low mood that a person should be able to pull themselves out of; unfortunately, that’s not the case. Depression is a serious illness and requires time, understanding, and patience. Depression affects men and women of all ages, impacting the way they think, act, and feel. It can decrease an individual’s ability to function in everyday life, including difficulties in relationships both at work and at home.

  OCD Treatment

  What Is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? “I used to unplug every single appliance in my house. Or I’d double-check every door in my house to make sure it was locked at night. It was like a panic come over me and I had to do something, and once I did it, I was ok.” ~ Jessica Alba Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a common mental health condition and anxiety disorder where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. The repetitive behaviors caused by OCD can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions. Even if the person experiencing OCD knows their obsessions are not realistic, they have difficulty disengaging from the obsessive thought or stopping the compulsive actions.

  PTSD Treatment

  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can occur at any age, following an event that has had a negative impact on an individual. This event can be a one-time trauma that a person has lived through such as an attack, or it can be an ongoing event that the person cannot escape. PTSD can also result from witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD can develop immediately following the event, or years later. It is marked by flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety in relation to a trauma that has been experienced or witnessed. It is normal, even healthy for us to experience a range of emotions following a traumatic event; however, if the experience is affecting the way you operate in everyday life, it may be time to see a professional who can help you work through the issues.
