Psychiatric Consultation
A psychiatric consultation offers space to discuss changes in mood, thoughts, sleep, behaviour and daily functioning. You may come with a previous diagnosis, concerns about current care, or uncertainty about what is happening. The conversation helps put your experience in context rather than treating a symptom in isolation.
Describe when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects work, study, relationships or self-care. Previous treatment, general health and current medicines may be relevant. You can raise worries about diagnosis or treatment without needing to choose an option in advance.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring previous prescriptions, reports or referral letters if you have them. A short note of your main concerns can help you remember what you want to discuss.
Deciding the next step
A consultation does not automatically lead to a prescription. Assessment and discussion guide the options; ask about the purpose and review of any recommendation.
