“The most important piece of considering reaching out for help is knowing there is something better on the other side. I see so many patients whose symptoms are in remission who say, ‘Why didn't I do this sooner? Why did I suffer for so long?”In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Iyoha, the Psychiatric Medical Director at CommQuest Services, Inc. Dr. Iyoha shares insights into the full scope of psychiatric services provided by CommQuest, offering a detailed overview of what falls under the psychiatric care umbrella and the types of professionals who deliver care to clients.The conversation explores common misconceptions and stigmas surrounding mental health treatment, particularly concerns about medication and its side effects. Dr. Iyoha addresses these fears, emphasizing the importance of careful patient monitoring as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.“The folks that I've taken care of are in business, healthcare, law. They're thriving in our community and no one has ever known that they were afflicted with a mental health disorder, a disorder that's well managed with medication, just like any other health condition.” The interview concludes with Dr. Iyoha highlighting recent advancements in mental health care, including the growing availability of services in our community.For more information please visit CommQuest.orgEpisode Blog Post: https://www.commquest.org/2024/10/commquest-psychiatric-services-overview-with-dr-iyoha/
