Addressing Treatment Resistance
Depression
Depression has been ranked in the top 1-2 spots of leading causes of worldwide disability according to the World Health Organization total suicides coming in at close to 1 million deaths per year.
Anxiety
At Las Vegas psychiatry, we realized that many patients suffer from different forms of anxiety. We do our best to specify exactly which type we are treating to help you the best that we can.
Insomnia
At Las Vegas Psychiatry, Dr. Wolford has outstanding clinical experience with sleep disorders. He has even given a Grand Rounds presentation to the faculty at BronxCare Hospital in New York City on this topic.
Bipolar
At Las Vegas Psychiatry, every consideration will be taken into account when assessing for Bipolar disorder in order to meet the criteria. Many times patients may be labeled as a “Bipolar” when in fact they suffer from something else.
Schizophrenia
Dr. Wolford has significant experience treating patients with Schizophrenia from his time in both Las Vegas & Bronx, NY psychiatric units. Many Schizophrenia symptoms stem from elevated dopamine levels in the Mesolimbic pathways.
PTSD
Dr. Wolford sees many patients with PTSD and will screen each patient for a history of abuse, trauma, domestic violence, and accidents. Certain symptoms can present such as flashbacks, trigger avoidance, nightmares and heightened startle response.
Treatment Pitfalls
During my 2 years of practice in the Las Vegas area, I have been encountering concerning trends with regards to prescription medications. Some most notable offenses are commonly prescribing Wellbutrin to patients.
ADHD
Attention deficit is a major complaint of many individuals, especially working-age adults, compounded by the work-from-home transition recently during the COVID pandemic, leading to increased stress.
Men’s Health
We are going to discuss a few caveats of treating men with respect to some important areas in their lives. The elephant in the room with many of the antidepressants is the possibility of sexual side effects and what it does to men.
Pregnancy
Treating symptoms in pregnancy can be a challenge for many practitioners. It is important to realize that some symptoms may be normal during the course of pregnancy as well as postpartum.
Therapy
One of the treatment modalities in Psychiatry does not necessarily involve medications, but rather using “talk” therapy known in the psychiatric world as Psychotherapy. We offer the best Psychotherapy.
