A psychiatric consultation is usually conversation-based and confidential. It may cover current symptoms, sleep, mood, anxiety, thoughts, substance use, medicines, physical health, family history and the impact on work, relationships and daily life. Depending on the concern, structured questionnaires, physical-health tests or coordination with a physician or psychologist may be recommended. Treatment can include psychotherapy-based support, medicines or a combination.
The specialist first reviews your symptoms, when they began, previous treatment, current medicines and relevant medical history.
A focused examination is performed according to the symptoms and the body system involved.
Tests are advised when they can help clarify the diagnosis, assess severity or guide treatment.
The care plan is based on the diagnosis and may include medicines, monitoring, rehabilitation, a procedure, surgery or referral when appropriate.
The specialist decides which investigations are appropriate after reviewing the history and examination findings.
Psychiatric care includes assessment and treatment planning for mental-health, addiction and age-related psychiatric concerns.
