Dr. Vijayalakshmi Appareddy is an Addiction Medicine Specialist in Chattanooga, TN, USA
Addiction medicine deals with patients suffering from a wide variety of addiction problems. It aims to free people from their addictions while providing support, counseling, and mental health services. Medical professionals who work in addiction medicine can help patients work through the detoxification process as well as provide harm reduction tactics and rehabilitation services. They may also treat conditions like hepatitis and HIV, which are related to addiction issues. This type of medicine is often associated with public health.
Psychiatrists are doctors who specialize in treating mental, addictive, and emotional disorders. They order diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and use psychotherapy to help patients and their family members deal with these disorders and diseases. They often work with other doctors and specialists to help come up with the best treatment option for their patients.

I went to this Dr. As my psychiatrist for about 2 years and it was terrible. She barely asks you any questions at all to figure out what's wrong with you. Acts like it's a burden for you to be in her office, and pretty much just wants you in and out as quickly as possible while writing scripts if random medications until finally one might actually do something. I went through months if trying different medications until she finally got me in a combination that worked, and then one month she decided to up my dosage. The next month I went in and she acted like that had never happened and told me she would no longer be prescribing two of my medications and yanked me off of them without any tapering or warning when they actually WERE helping me. One of them she acted like she didn't even know I was prescribed it despite me having been on it for at least 6 months prior to that appointment. Needless to say I never returned to this provider. She doesn't care about her patients at all whatsoever. I would never recommend this physician.
