Based in Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Sridhar Yaratha is an experienced psychiatric professional who cares for patients as a psychiatrist at Gateway Homes. Dr. Sridhar Yaratha works with people who suffer from anxiety disorders, an issue that has seen an increase since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following are three types of medications that may be used to treat anxiety. Antidepressants Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are particularly useful in treating and preventing anxiety disorders. Some SSRIs that are widely used are citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft). Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors may also be prescribed. Antihistamines and beta-blockers These types of medications are often used for mild anxiety and performance anxiety, which is classified as a type of social anxiety disorder. These drugs are taken on an as-needed basis, compared to SSRIs and SNRIs, which are taken daily. Benzodiazepines This class of drugs is used for acute anxiety, also known as panic attacks. It includes alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), and lorazepam (Ativan). These drugs can cause side effects such as drowsiness and physical dependence, but are much safer than barbiturates, a class of drugs that used to be prescribed for similar problems.

Medications and Psychotherapies Used to Treat Panic Disorder
With over 15 years of experience in psychiatry, Dr. Sridhar Yaratha works at Gateway Homes as a psychiatrist. One condition that Dr. Sridhar Yaratha helps patients with is panic disorder, or panic attacks, an extreme and often debilitating type of anxiety disorder. Panic attacks can be treated with either psychotherapy, medication, or in combination.
Medications used to treat panic disorder consist mainly of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as citalopram (Celexa) or fluoxetine (Prozac), have been shown to decrease anxiety and reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks when taken daily. Anti-anxiety or tranquilizing drugs known as benzodiazepines, on the other hand, are used for their fast-acting effects and can be taken during a panic attack for quick relief.
Psychotherapy is used either by itself or in conjunction with medication. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown to be effective against panic disorder by aiding the patient in developing coping skills that change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. Panic-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy (PFPP) is also effective against panic disorder. Its goal is to uncover emotional conflicts and experience from a patient’s past that may have influenced the development of the anxiety disorder.
Antidepressant medication advice for adults
This document provides information about antidepressant medication, including how they work, when they are used, potential side effects, and treatment duration. It explains that antidepressants are thought to work by increasing serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, and are often prescribed alongside therapy for moderate to severe depression and anxiety. Common side effects include nausea, headaches, and sexual difficulties, though some are short-lived. People may need to take antidepressants for different lengths of time, from just 12 months to indefinitely, and stopping medication requires medical supervision.
Chapter 12
There are several main approaches to psychotherapy and counseling. Insight-oriented therapies like psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy focus on bringing unconscious thoughts and motivations into consciousness to gain insight. Behavior therapies aim to change observable behaviors through techniques like exposure therapy. Cognitive therapies target dysfunctional thoughts and cognitive distortions. Biomedical therapies include psychopharmacology using medications to treat mental illnesses and electroconvulsive therapy for treatment-resistant depression.
Understanding Medication Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Dr. Sridhar Yaratha has been an outpatient psychiatrist with Gateway Homes in Chesterfield, Virginia, since 2009. Dr. Sridhar Yaratha’s primary responsibility is overseeing the psychiatric care of adults with chronic mental illnesses.
Chronic mental illness denotes conditions characterized by psychiatric symptoms of persistent debilitation and severe impairment of functions, such as major depression, schizophrenia, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
GAD involves persistent and exaggerated yet groundless and unrealistic anxiety and worry about various everyday life events. People with GAD may constantly anticipate disaster and find it difficult to stop worrying about family, money, school, or work. GAD treatment usually includes lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication, or a combination of the three.
In terms of medication treatment of GAD, some regimens can be preventive, and others target curing the problem. Most often, psychiatrists prescribe antidepressants, more precisely selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), or some tricyclic antidepressants. They boost the activity of serotonin and norepinephrine, brain chemicals believed to influence circuits responsible for mood regulation.
Other classes of medicines that can be helpful with milder cases of anxiety are antihistamines and beta-blockers. The first commonly treat allergic reactions by reducing or blocking histamines, chemicals that human bodies produce when in contact with allergy triggers. The latter is typically used for treating high blood pressure as they block certain natural substances that impact the work of the heart and the blood vessels.
For immediate relief, in cases of acute anxiety or a panic attack, psychiatrists recommend benzodiazepines, a class of medications that influences a person’s brain and nerves to create a calming effect. It is noteworthy to mention that due to the potential habit-forming nature of some anxiety drugs, psychiatrists usually prescribe them for shorter courses of treatment or only as needed.

Therapies can be categorized as either psychotherapies, which use psychological techniques, or biomedical therapies, which use medications. Common psychotherapies include psychoanalysis, humanistic therapies like client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Biomedical therapies include various types of antidepressants, antipsychotics, lithium, electroconvulsive therapy, and others. Research shows that psychotherapy is generally more effective than no treatment, and factors like the therapeutic relationship and client characteristics influence success.

Chapter 14 Ppp
Therapies can be categorized as either psychotherapies, which use psychological techniques, or biomedical therapies, which use medications. Common psychotherapies include psychoanalysis, humanistic therapies like client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Biomedical therapies include various types of antidepressants, antipsychotics, lithium, electroconvulsive therapy, and others. Research shows that psychotherapy is generally more effective than no treatment, and factors like the therapeutic relationship and client characteristics influence success.
Chapter 14 Lecture Disco 4e
There are two main types of therapy: psychotherapy which uses psychological techniques to treat mental health issues, and biomedical therapy which uses medications and medical interventions. Psychoanalysis developed by Sigmund Freud is based on understanding repressed unconscious conflicts through techniques like free association, dream interpretation, and analysis of transference in therapy. Modern therapies are generally shorter-term and more goal-oriented than traditional psychoanalysis. Behavioral therapy uses principles of conditioning to change maladaptive behaviors, while cognitive-behavioral therapy integrates cognitive and behavioral techniques. Psychotherapy has been shown to be more effective than no treatment, and the specific type of therapy is generally less important than the therapeutic relationship.
Behavior therapy
Behavioral therapy seeks to identify and change unhealthy behaviors through techniques based on classical and operant conditioning. It can be used to treat mental health disorders like OCD, PTSD, depression, and phobias. Common behavioral therapy techniques include systematic desensitization, aversion therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and positive reinforcement using tools like response shaping and token economies. Behavioral therapy aims to reduce maladaptive behaviors by removing reinforcement or introducing punishment through extinction or changing learned associations.
Panic anxiety
The document discusses panic anxiety disorder and its presentation, definition, clinical features, etiology, psychodynamics, diagnostic criteria, treatment including medications and therapies, and nursing management. Key points include: panic disorder involves sudden panic attacks with physical and psychological symptoms; it has genetic and environmental risk factors and can be treated with medications like antidepressants and benzodiazepines as well as CBT and exposure therapy; nursing care focuses on ensuring safety, reducing anxiety through a calm environment and relaxation techniques, encouraging self-care, and empowering patients.
Therapy Methods
Therapy methods have evolved over time from institutionalization to community-based treatment. There are various forms of psychotherapy including psychoanalysis, humanistic, behavior, and cognitive therapies. Psychotherapy involves interaction with a trained professional to understand and change behavior, thinking, relationships, and emotions. Current therapies also include biomedical approaches using medications and procedures, as well as combining therapies to fit each client's specific needs.
Pscyhology 101:Chapter15
Chapter 15 discusses different types of psychotherapy used to treat psychological disorders. Biomedical therapies include drug therapies that treat disorders through neurotransmitters, electroconvulsive therapy that uses electric shocks, and rarely, psychosurgery that alters brain tissue. Psychotherapies treat the mind through psychoanalysis, cognitive therapies that target irrational thoughts, humanistic therapies that help clients gain self-worth, and group/family therapies. Conditioning techniques and applying rewards/punishments can treat disorders by changing the environment. Research finds most therapies effective but some work better than others depending on the problem. Common factors across therapies include support, learning, and taking action.
Cognitive therapy for anxiety
Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to help patients challenge anxious thoughts and beliefs. It uses exposure to gradually confront fears through a hierarchy of tasks. Relaxation training and coping strategies help patients manage anxiety. Behavioral experiments test predictions and build skills and tolerance for anxiety. Cognitive restructuring identifies automatic thoughts to make them more realistic and adaptive. The overall goals are to decrease vulnerability and hypervigilance while increasing coping self-efficacy.
Biomedical therapies
The document discusses various biomedical therapies used to treat mental health conditions, including psychopharmacology drugs and electroconvulsive therapy. It describes the different drug schedules and some common psychotropic medications like antipsychotics, antianxiety drugs, and antidepressants. Antipsychotic drugs are used to treat psychosis and other conditions and were beginning to help with schizophrenia symptoms, though they often have powerful side effects. The document also briefly mentions the emptying of mental hospitals, testing new drugs, electroconvulsive therapy, and psychosurgeries like lobotomies which were developed in the 1930s using an ice pick-like instrument through the eye sockets.

Psychological stress and coping mechanism
Psychological stress can negatively impact one's mental well-being and daily life. The document discusses psychological distress, defining it as unpleasant feelings that interfere with functioning. It also distinguishes between stress, eustress (positive stress), and distress. Several theories on the psychological effects of stress are presented, along with common causes and symptoms of distress. Finally, the document outlines different coping strategies people can use to manage stress, such as relaxation techniques, exercise, and talking with friends. Effective coping mechanisms are important for dealing with life's stresses in a healthy way.

PTSD
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event involving threat of injury or death. Symptoms include nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, and increased arousal. Risk factors include female gender, lack of social support, and pre-existing mental health conditions. Treatment involves trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, medication, and alternative therapies like EMDR. Screening tools assess trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms to help identify affected individuals.
Psychotherapies
Psychoanalysis, the most common form of psychotherapy, relates to Freud's theories and studies how unconscious influences affect behavior and mind, often linking to childhood experiences. Humanistic therapy focuses on people's innate goodness and potential, believing problems stem from deviating from a positive path. Behavioral therapy replaces unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones through modification to treat issues like depression and ADHD. Cognitive therapy holds that thoughts dictate moods and focuses on substituting negative thoughts with positive ones before depressive moods occur, commonly for depression treatment.
Psychotherapy
This document discusses various types of psychotherapy including supportive psychotherapy, insight-oriented psychotherapy, behavioral therapies, cognitive therapies, and psychoeducation. Supportive psychotherapy aims to help patients cope with problems in the present through building rapport and considering problem solutions. Insight-oriented psychotherapy focuses on uncovering unconscious wishes and defenses that cause maladaptive behaviors. Behavioral therapies use techniques like relaxation training, graded exposure, and thought stopping to modify abnormal behaviors. Cognitive therapies identify and challenge maladaptive thinking patterns.
Psychology Therapy
This document provides an overview of different types of psychotherapy and therapies for treating mental disorders. It discusses the following:
1. The major types of psychotherapy discussed include psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy, humanistic/client-centered therapy, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and various combinations of individual, group, and family psychotherapy.
2. Biomedical therapies like drugs, brain stimulation, and lifestyle changes are also reviewed as ways to directly impact the body and reduce disorder symptoms.
3. Key schools of psychotherapy covered in more depth include psychoanalysis, humanistic therapy, behavior therapy using conditioning principles, and cognitive therapy focused on changing thoughts.
Powerpoint
1) Antidepressant use has greatly increased over the last 30 years, with antidepressants now being the most commonly prescribed drug in the US. However, some experts argue they are overprescribed for issues that could be addressed through therapy or lifestyle changes.
2) Studies have found antidepressants to be only slightly more effective than placebo pills, but other analyses found flaws in how the original data was interpreted. The effectiveness of antidepressants does not depend on the severity of depression.
3) While antidepressants can help some people, there are concerns about overreliance on quick fix medication solutions rather than addressing underlying issues through therapy or lifestyle changes. Long term use should be reserved for severe cases.
Individual therapy
Definition:
individual psychotherapy is a method of bringing about change in a person by
exploring his or her feelings attitude thinking and behaviour.
Therapy is conducted on a one-to-one basis such as the therapies treats one patient at a time. Patients generally seek this kind of therapy based on their desire.
Such therapy helps to-
• Understand themselves and their behaviour
• Make personal changes
• Improve interpersonal relationships
• Get relief from emotional pain or unhappiness.
Indications:
• Stress related disorders
• Alcohol and drug dependence
• Sexual disorders
• Marital disharmony
Approaches
There are four main approaches to individual therapy which include
1. Psychodynamic therapy is primary key based on psychoanalytic theory, shamshan that when a patient has insight into early relationships and experiences as the source of his or her problems they can be resolved.
2. Humanistic therapy is on the patient’s view of the world and he is your heart problems. The goal is to help patients realise their full potential through the therapies genuineness unconditional positive regard which fosters the patient’s sense of self-worth and sympathetic understanding of patients point of view. Clarify his or her own feelings and choices.
3. Behaviour therapy does not foster awareness but emphasizes the principles of learning with positive or negative reinforcement and observational modelling
4. Cognitive therapy focuses on identifying and correcting distorted thinking patterns that can be to emotional distress and problem behaviours. Cognitive therapies believe that patients change their behaviour by changing their maladaptive thinking about themselves and their experiences. Patients are taught problem solving skills and stress reducing methods. The learning that their psychological difficulties or problems can be solved through cognitive processing.
Psychopharmachology dd
This document discusses various types of anxiety disorders and their treatment options. It describes generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder in more detail. For generalized anxiety disorder, it recommends psychotherapy as the primary treatment and lists SSRIs, TCAs, benzodiazepines, MAOIs, and atypical antidepressants as pharmacological options. It also discusses buspirone and the rationale for using atypical antipsychotics and pregabalin to treat anxiety disorders.
Depression why use both psychological treatments and medications
The document discusses why both psychological treatments and medications are used to treat depression. It explains that depression affects both the body and mind by disrupting important systems, and both treatments can help relieve symptoms by different mechanisms. Psychological treatments improve coping skills and deal with life stressors, while medications work on brain chemistry. Using both treatments together can successfully tackle depression symptoms, while leaving depression untreated can have negative physical effects.

Three Types of Medications for Treatment of Anxiety Disorder
- 1. Three Types of Medications for Treatment of Anxiety Disorder Dr. Sridhar Yaratha
- 2. Introduction Based in Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Sridhar Yaratha is an experienced psychiatric professional who cares for patients as a psychiatrist at Gateway Homes. Dr. Sridhar Yaratha works with people who suffer from anxiety disorders, an issue that has seen an increase since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following are three types of medications that may be used to treat anxiety.
- 3. Antidepressants Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are particularly useful in treating and preventing anxiety disorders. Some SSRIs that are widely used are citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft). Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors may also be prescribed.
- 4. Antihistamines and beta-blockers These types of medications are often used for mild anxiety and performance anxiety, which is classified as a type of social anxiety disorder. These drugs are taken on an as-needed basis, compared to SSRIs and SNRIs, which are taken daily.
- 5. Benzodiazepines This class of drugs is used for acute anxiety, also known as panic attacks. It includes alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), and lorazepam (Ativan). These drugs can cause side effects such as drowsiness and physical dependence, but are much safer than barbiturates, a class of drugs that used to be prescribed for similar problems.
