Psychiatric Consultation

Description

This consultation is intended either for individuals whose current psychiatric medication may need reviewing, or individuals who may have an undiagnosed mental illness.

In the consultation, a Psychiatrist will ask questions about an individual’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours. They will also ask about medical history, family history, and social circumstances. The goal is to identify any mental health difficulties a person is experiencing and to determine the most appropriate treatment and support. They will then provide advice and a psychiatric report upon request.
